Some of the mentioned elements will be LOD’d. Not all.

A 3D artist does not/cannot work on the graphics engine. All the graphics engineers are busy on next-gen scenery and performance… as per our roadmap.
If it’s not on the roadmap, we have no immediate plans to change this soon. 😉

Why not use those resources to better display rain in the sim? or if you can at least open the art section so we can turn it off because it’s a huge immersion breaker
