SkyMaxx Pro v4.8 - Cirrus still present and crazy

[Prosco]

Hello,

Thank you for this update.

With SkyMaxx Pro v4.8, I encounter some problems:

1 / a layer of cirrus is always present even when in the "weather" part, there is none.

2 / If I ask for a layer of cirrus cumulus + cirrus appears.

3 / If I remove the cirrus layer cirrus come back.

Best regards.

There's an option in the SMP configuration screen called "force cirrus layer". Is that on?

[Prosco]

the option "force cirrus layer" disappeared in the interface of the V4.8

[sundog]

Ah, you're right. We'll have to bring that back in our next update. I believe it is on by default.

Or, now that X-Plane can handle cirrus, it would make sense to just remove that option entirely.

Absolutely.

Thank you for your response and I look forward to the fix.

No, please don't do this. X-Plane can handle its own cirrus for quite a while but the SMP additional cirrus layer adds much detail to most of the weather rendering, no matter if I use default real weather, ASXP or weather presets - I would definitively miss it if it gets removed as without I rarely see any similar cirrus rendering on top of the 'regular' clouds placement.

I reached the same conclusion. The option will be back in our 4.8.1 release (coming soon!)

Great to hear... and thank you.
