| This download contains a modification of the Zibo Mod 737-800 airliner, in-as I have removed the 3D flight deck and exterior aircraft with the exception of a few items to allow for the use of better pushback.
This was done to allow those of use that use actual hardware for the flight deck, an opportuntiy to use the nice looking 3-D rain effect found using the interior view. Up until now I was forced to use X-Plane 12's exterior view that contains star wars looking 2-D rain effects, these rain effects never contaminated the windscreen.
Since I found this to be unacceptable, I decided to work on this project. It's not perfect, but maybe someone will come up with a better idea and put out thier own setup seeing this can be done.
Note: If you use a seperate server computer that does not run your exterior display, you'll need a LUA script to run the wipers. I did not create the script I have so I cannot give it out. I'm sure someone with LUA knowledge can create one that can be shared.
NOTE: These edits have been tested using three 75" Samsung UHDTV's @ 45* angles, the view only looks correct from the center camera angle. This edit (although not tested by me personally) more than likely will not look right on a projection type setup with a cylindrical display, the reason being the screen is curved and too far away from the glaresheild.
Use these edits at your own risk
Update 1.9: Adjusted the b738.acf file to match the latest Zibo Mod 4_00_6.4 release, with the exception of objects. If you have an eairlier version installed, you only need to replace the b738.acf file.
Hope you find this edit useful

Hi,
I have the Zibo mod version number in the description, it also shows the 3D rain effect version number. This is done because the 3D rain effect may not need an update every time Zibo releases an aircraft update.
Also, if I put the version number in the filename, people would have to download the file just to see if they have the correct version since all one sees is the download button with my version number being shown.

Much better than looking at the star wars rain, thanks.
