Jim Kallinen Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Clouds that actually move with the wind. Not stuck in place like they are in 10x. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg433may9Hg&list=PL61396B7764FB1B67&index=4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris k Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Bring Back XP9 Billboard clouds! They actually look Plausible.! (or at least, make it a "user side" option.. 2D/3D) - CK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCYUL Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 are the devs planning to update the clouds in 10 to move one day or will REX do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo W Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Boo hoo, that brought a tear to my eye Jim.When are they announcing xplane 11? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt R Lee Ermey Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well since the 64 bit version is such a huge development and the autogen, once it is all stable and plugins I guess you could call it v11. But I think we should all get a free upgrade to 11 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gjalp Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have REXPlane for v9 and loved it dearly, they never brought out a version of 10. If they did that then this thread would never have started, maybe the devs of REXPlane are reading this and are getting the hint? Slainte, Andy - Give us REXPlane clouds for v10!!!!NZCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt R Lee Ermey Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think this fundamental switch to 64 bit is going to open up a lot of avenues for people to use to expand this. I think once its tweaked and done they'll work on improving the long list of broad things that need improving such as color, clouds, wind, atc, autogen and updating wed to be a little more detailed to include visualizing more.

HarryCYUL Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 if i'm not mistaken, I think rex9 was released when xp9 was completed....no beta. REX devs did mention last year that they might consider a ver.10 when the beta cycle is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REX devs did mention last year that they might consider a ver.10 when the beta cycle is over.Hope they do it.Never used it on X-Plane, but using on FSX completely changes the SIM, probably will be something awesome to see on XP10.

scubajuan_new Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) IMHO REX developers made a significant mistake releasing only for windows, excluding themselves from the largest portion of X-Plane users and potential customer. First their product came out just as the XP10 started to be developed and yes there are some XP10 windows users but, REXtreme is not compatible with XP10 missing yet another portion of the growing market. After all X-Plane is a multi platform simulator and who ever develops and want to take a piece of the market should release only when full support is available.REXtreme for XP10 for windows mac and linux or something like this that would be really nice: http://sundog-soft.c...time-3d-clouds/I would pay just as much I payed for X-Plane to have beautiful realistic skies. After all that's where I do all my flying. And that is something really missing in XP10, when it rains over the last layer of clouds just kills it for me. there's a loot of room for improvement there and developers should exploit that niche. I don't know why they took the infinite zoom out form the external view in XP10 I miss that too along with horizon to horizon view of the world. Flying over FL300 sucks there is no could coverage and all you can see is a blur. Water class. same as land class, turquoise waters with visible reefs in costal waters, braking waves in beaches, etc. Same as with the sky perhaps someone could develop an upgrade in this regard if not Laminar themselves.

Simmo W Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Unfortunately it wasn't REX who decided not to support 10, I'm pretty sure it was Laminar's sudden move to a different cloud puffs tech. Many, like me, wish they went back to the xp9 clouds, man they were good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajuan_new Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I agree, and that would make REX cloud run on XP10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who have the GPU horsepower to run the 4K textures, you might also want to obtain the cirrus patch. It is not required if using the 2k textures here.

Bobback Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Seems to be a bit of that going around... Sadly, as like Cameron said i got banned.15 years using internet, first time i got banned on a Forum was this year, actually just a few days ago Lets just say a dictatorship enviroment is not for me. Glad im here on X-Pilot. Friendly enviroment, nice people to have some nice conversations, thats what i was looking for when i was searching for an X-Plane community. EDIT: Just forgot about the topic. Tried the Skymaxx and cloudmaxx mods, i haven't noticed a big impact on the visuals, i need to pay more attention on next flights to say something more accurate, but nice thing is that it is completely FPS friendly, i got no FPS drops and it "looks" better, i'll confirm that later.
