This is a great thread....if it gets anymore intresting ill be sitting here hitting the refresh button on my browser with a bowl of popcorn and a beer.
That is good to know, but I have no idea how to simulate "hard smacking rain" in my humble greenhouse.

The best I can do so far is rain version 2.0 !
