Under the precipitation issue in the bug area, I indicated that precipitation would start just above the locomotive. I worked on two areas which would represent the foundation. With help from James, the first was taking advantage of 32bit devices. Currently, the precipitation is processing in the 16bit area. This is why you you can see the rain and snow appear just above the train. Under the 16bit process the size of the precipitation box which includes the height can't be improved. I reintroduced the 32bit process along with a test to check which graphics device is being used.
The next step was to take advantage of the 32bit process. I was able to change the size of the precipitation box without impacting the frame rate. I was able to do this by breaking the box size down to length, width, along with height. This allowed me to use a length of 1970 meters which would cover most trains.
With this in mind, I am including RunActivity.exe and RunActivityLAA.exe for the latest experimental release which is X3138. Unless you are running a 16bit device, it is necessary to use the LAA option since more resources are being utilized.
I will include a patch as well.
