Jim Kallinen Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Still don`t see clouds moving with the wind in 10x. Wonder why this feature that looked so well in 9x is not in 10x yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMAXX Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Still don`t see clouds moving with the wind in 10x. Wonder why this feature that looked so well in 9x is not in 10x yet.Clouds do move depending on wind speed and direction....maybe Redpiper didnt capture this. Here is a not so good video I created: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Kallinen Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Hmmm, I hjave the latest version of 10 x and just tried to get clouds moving in the mountains of Oregon at Joseph State airport. Have scattered cumulus set from 6000ft to 18,000ftwith wind speeds set to 60mph at all 3 levels. Watched it for the longest time and nothing was moving. also had the puffs set 98%. Seriously disapointed they don`t work yet. I miss REX. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg433may9Hg&feature=player_embedded Edited October 16, 2013 by Jim Kallinen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Russell Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Beautiful video, you guys are doing awesome work. Clouds are -hard-. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloB Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Looking really good. The only annoyance that remains is the limited draw distance of clouds. With overcast/broken skies it often looks like flying under a huge sticky cloud with blue skies right around the corner.But I thinks it's on LR to work that out...Still a huge improvement, though.

Ben Russell Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 This plugin completely replaces the build in cloud engine, it's not just a texture pack. Power and control is completely in Yellow Dogs hands. (YAY!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power and control is completely in Yellow Dogs hands. (YAY!) I know it's not just a texture pack but there may be limitations to the draw distance nonetheless due to XP.There is a cloud draw distance slider in the Skymaxx UI. John, what's the max .draw distance of the plugin and how does it compare to the default cloud engine/draw distance?

Best regardsFloActually our clouds are cut off at a distance, but I have shown quite a few images at higher altitudes which show SkyMAXX Pro looking way better at multiple flight levels...... The limitation here isn't with X-Plane but hardware, and our compromise, SM and default, for performance...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCYUL Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 JohnMAXX needs 2 pump the clouds out soon into our pc's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kallinen Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Sad that X-Plane 10 can`t get their weather engine together enough to make the clouds move with the wind. Forcing it to a outside vender to make it and make moneyfrom something that should have alrady been built in. This is not a Diss to you John. More of a poke at Laminar for failing to keep what worked in the sim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueyman Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 ... if it can be lightyears better than what would come from stock XP10, why not ? Many sims out there ( FSX being the first ) are modded to the core, there is not much left of the originial release so why X-Plane should be an exception ? Art-graphical side can be inifinitely shaped isn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
