This is now done.  You can now set
/environment/params/use-external-precipitation-level=true to disable the
previous behaviour of only showing rain under the heaviest cloud layer, and
set /environment/params/external-precipitation-level-m to set the maximum
altitude at which precipitation will occur.  0 means it will occur at all
levels.
