A HUUUUGE thank you to all screenshot authors who I sadly do not have
been able to credit. I really really really hope this is ok with all
of you who have contributed! If there's any screenshot in the
slideshow that you did and you don't want in there just contact me and
I'll fix that!
Cheers!

I've been thinking about this for a very very long time and finally
got around to experiment (thanks to some help from Guru and MadCowie).
What I did was to use the concept of snowing (at snowitude, Wow what a
breakthrough THAT was!) and change the snow mips to mips with small
gray dots being almost fully TRANSPARANT but not 100%. It works VERY
nicely. My current problem is I don't know how to edit the 3do to make
the rain fall faster (the snow falls slooooow)
But I've made some very light rain which works fine even when falling
this slow. I also have ready some REALLY heavy rain that looks GREAT
but that MUST fall faster. So waiting to learn to fix falling speed
there....
Now, I think you know that Mark Beckman has made three tracks with
slippery wet surfaces. And they most definitely work VERY well too
(try the wet Nrburgring!! It's SO cool... and hard, hehe!)! So add
these two things together and we could have wet slippery tracks with
rain falling! I'm pretty confident you can change the dust and dirt
clouds to wet spray too.... And ANY add-on track can be converted to
rain by the authors of the track!
Just unzip the included mips into your Snowitude folder to get a very
slight drizzle of rain. And pleeeeeze come back with comments on it
:-)

Gotta admit it... some of those screenshots do capture the essence of GPL.
Virtual sports photography. Now there's a concept nobody would have thought
of a couple of years back.
