FlyAgi2 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 I can't download the update... the link is not clickable... Quote
MercuryOneOne Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 I got the email and it says, version SkyMaxx Pro 3.3.2??? I thought it was going to be version 4.5? Quote
MercuryOneOne Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 That new X-Aviation Licencing Update keeps popping-up after I close it (X-out) and it says I have version 3 after installing version 4. Any Ideas???? Quote
MercuryOneOne Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 Also I get an error during the install of 4.5 - " v4.5/vcredit_x64.exe/q/norestart: Program ended with an error exit code " Any Ideas? Quote

FlyAgi2 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) I also have both problems. The vcredist stuff can be solved by uninstalling any vcredist x64 2015 and 2017 and then try again. After I had successfully installed I got the activation popup all the time and it does NOT list skymaxx pro. Also, I have no clouds at all, plugin admin finds smp though. Everything is finally solved. And, the new clouds are really awesome. Edited May 28, 2017 by FlyAgi Quote
MercuryOneOne Posted May 27, 2017 Report Posted May 27, 2017 Thanks - I think everything is working Quote
YYZ342 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 Just a word of caution. Uninstalling 15 and /or 17 may break other plugins that depend on for example python latest version. Cheers Quote

juanra100 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 I also get the same error "v4.5 / vcredit_x64.exe / q / norestart: Program ended with an error exit code", but it installs correctly and everything works fine.I even won 6 or 7 FPS Quote
FlyAgi2 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 In normal cases I install those runtimes manually from microsoft, but it could not find a download for the 2017 version. And I don't know where it comes from. The problem here ist the SMP installer quitting if it can't install the runtime so some files for silver lining are not copied. If you have the 2017 installer somewhere (maybe in a steam game in the redist folder) you should be able to reinstall it after the smp installer was succesfull. Also, the SMP installer brought me a newer version of vc 2015 than I had installed before, so regarding this version I should not get into troubles. If the 2017 version is needed by some apps, I have to find out where the installer is. Or does anybody know a link to an official vcredist 2017 download form Microsoft? 1 Quote

TimeTraveler Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 No problem here. Only great surprises like a 10fps increase, beautiful looking clouds ☁️ stretched out much further. Loving the update! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

FlyAgi2 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 I have more or less the same performance as I had before but, when the GPU is limiting (mine is slightly in the limit with the AFL C172 in XP11) the fast clouds are improving performance greatly. The only thing is I like the crisp cloud style so my question is: Is it somehow possible to get fast clouds also with crisp cloud textures in a future update? Quote
