I can't say I'd noticed the issue at any time before so had attributed it to the specific model.
Either way, thanks for the heads up [needless to say it's stopped raining now]...

Stop. The model is FSX native and does not support FS9's rain system. Hence, the F1 rain fix will do zilch.
I'm using a custom, static rain texture for representing rain on the canopy, which is included in the latest version of the model.
Note: If the texture is present, but still not showing and you're running DX10 mode, you're out of luck as I can't support DX10.
Bjoern ...t'was my mistake...had always just been grabbing the model as it was updated...and forgot to check what was in the 'texture.shared'.
/me goes sit in the corner and wears pointy hat...
I've not tried the L-39 in the rain.. didn't want to get it wet
I did install the F1_fsx_vcrain fix mind you and it's fixed the otherwise duff Nemeth BK117

I've lost the plot here. The Nemeth BK117 is also FSX native.. it's their latest model!! The F1_fsx.vcrainfix fixed the problem with that. I don't see where FS9 rain effects comes into it. I don't run DX10 either.
Never mind.. I'm sure you know what you're talking about

Dave...when Bjoern was releasing updates of his model reworking to become FSX native one of the updates included VC rain effects which also required the use of the included bitmaps for the texture.shared folder of the L39. I hadn't added those images to my install so things went screwy in the rain.
If a plane in your install has issues with rain effects and isn't supposed to [being native] then it could be a similar reason...missing graphics. If that patch thingie worked for it then it may mean the model wasn't as entirely 'native' as it could be.
BTW...my L39 now gets happily wet...and I'm not using the patch...
Right on fella
Not wanting to drag this OT any further.. Nemeth denied there was a problem at all yet more than a few of us saw it. By way of a quick test.. I installed it on my old WinXP PC which is also FSXA.. the glass was fine in rainy/foggy conditions so why it played up on my Win7 Ultimate PC remains a mystery. I've posted a link to the fix over at Nemeth so at least ONE of the MANY bugs with the 117 can be put to bed.

Cheers Bjoern I find it hard to believe (though not impossible) that the 117 could use FS9 portovers as a) they've not made an FS9 model for years and b) it only affects this model.. I have all their others. Anyway.. that's by the by
Right.. as the 39 is guaranteed hot washable and shrink free.. I'll take her out in the wet now

Hi Guys,
Looking good Jafo! here's a repaint I have done awhile ago...
Cheers,
Jamessx
Here's the Cuban....probably needs more research re details....but quick and dirty...
Your Cuban AF one is almost dead on, check out the upside down blue star center triangle. Besides that typical scheme a few of the active one's I've encountered RW are Carib scheme.

Looking at your photo it looks like I need to stick my paint out in the sun to bleach for a few years/decades...
Edit.....sun's quite strong down under....
