Hello I have recently picked up Sky Max Pro and not too pleased with it.I have played with my settings and watched some videos before,and I still cant get a reasonable balance between performance and the overall cloud representation.When I disable Sky Max Pro my fps goes back up to what it was before I had bought the product.Currently I regret buying this product.

Hi - I meant for you to post this in the forum, not as a direct message to me.
Anyhow, I see a few things in your log that would explain poor performance.
- You have a lot of add-ons and custom scenery installed, which is creating a lot of pressure on your system's memory and VRAM. Once you start getting low on memory, performance will degrade. SMP may be the "straw the broke the camel's back" so to speak. You might try in an area with default scenery as an experiment.
- You seem to have the cloud draw area turned up very high. Increasing this from the default setting will cause performance loss.
- You are flying into an area with severe thunderstorms, which are the most challenging weather conditions to represent from a performance standpoint. 3D cumulonimbus and towering cumulus clouds are very demanding.
Put simply, you're pushing your system too hard with add-ons, custom scenery, weather settings, and the conditions you're simulating. You'll have to choose what to trade off in order to gain performance that's acceptable to you.
