SKYMAX AND XP 10.51r2 FPS DROPS!!!

[vfsintes]

Hello everybody, after upgrading XP to 10.51r2 SKYMAX 3.3.2 drops frames a lot. Using the previous XP version it runs around 30/35fps but after upgrade only 18/20fps same airport and weather. I can see that after uninstalling Skymaxx and with 75% of XP standar cluds it runs around 35/40fps..... Any expected update?

I just ran some tests and performance seems fine here under 10.51. There were no changes in 10.51r2 that would affect SkyMaxx Pro, although it may use slightly more system resources such as RAM and video RAM. So, my guess would be that when coupled with SMP's clouds, you're running out of resources.

Start by hitting "reset" on SkyMaxx Pro's configuration panel. Or turn down some rendering settings in X-Plane. Or try using a different aircraft, or removing custom scenery. Basically you have to decide what tradeoffs to make for performance - you can't turn up settings and install add-ons without affecting performance at some point.

It's not an issue with SkyMaxx Pro itself, so no we are not planning to fix something that is outside of our control. However, Skymaxx Pro 4 will offer some additional performance enhancements and may help you once it's available.
