Great pictures! Are you using default real weather there or are you setting the weather manually?

Right now I am setting up manual weather patterns......just some testing going on....

[alexcolka]

Thanks for the reply and sorry if I semi hijack the thread because when I'm in real weather I have better fps without this great add on (clouds at 66%). I guess once I have 3 cloud layers, my fps drops a lot comparing default clouds vs SMP. So it seems better to go without real weather in my case.

Thanks,

Typically performance is better over default,  but one shouldn't expect to run SM on high.......Have you taken time to fully tweak the UI for performance? 

 

It would be nice to see you on a support thread over a WIP thread.......plenty of nice space on the forums to discuss your issues......

[alexcolka]

Oh yeah John, I tweaked a lot and thanks again for your support, any issue I may have sure I'll go directly to the support forums.

So, why not buy SkyMaxx and enjoy it now?  You'll get the update anyway when it's released.

Hey John.

 

X-Plane 10.30 is out and bragging about new clouds.

 

How is it going to affect future SMP?  Just curious.

 

I am sure you already know the answer.

 

Cheers, AJ

I think that soon, the sky in X-Plane will look better than the ground... if it does not already.

Keep it up John. ( no associations intended, )

 

Great job.

I just don't know If my computer will handle skymaxx. I get 25 fps in most cases. I have a 1GB Raedon HD 6870 Video Card. Am I good?

[captainamerican]

Okay I really apologize for being so skeptical. I just decided to h*ll with it, I'll buy it and give it a try. My computer is a pretty average computer, with a few minor upgrades for x-plane. Well i was a 25-28 fps most of time, which was nice for me. Now I'm at 40-42. When I load JFK, very detailed scenery, I get about 33. Wow Just WOW.

Hey John lookin great! Any work been goin on for shadows though?  Been loving the RTH cloud shadows and its one of the only reasons I have been using XP clouds..  But SMP looks great with it too! but would really pop with some shading.... Keep up the good work!
