Here are some of the latest images of SkyMaxx Pro 2.0, which is currently at beta 11. We're cautiously optimistic this will be the version we ship. Thanks to our amazing beta testing team for providing some of these images.

 

A nice shot of cloud shadows and the new high-resolution cloud option:

Thunderstorms got a facelift as well:

I've posted this one before, but I just really like how it shows the cloud shadows and new cloud textures:

That's enough for now :) Stay tuned for more details on the update.

Looks great!

How does OVC look at FL cruise?

 

We did push out the maximum draw distance you can set, so the clouds will extend a bit further than they used to if the visibility is high. As in Skymaxx Pro 1, the look of overcast at high altitude will depend on the cloud draw distance, current visibility, and overcast quality settings. People will be able to strike their own balance between visual quality and performance there.

I'm sure I see a couple of my screenshots there. Regarding the OC depending on how you have it set it looks amazing. One thing I will say and this isn't hyperbole, but literally very flight is a visual and screen shotters delight. The number of images I take on every flight has increased by a factor of 10. You can't help taking shots. I have to delete all my screen shots on a weekly basis as my xplane folder us just to full lol.

I promise you when you get this you will spend more time wiping the drool from your keyboard, so make sure you have wet wipes and tissues handy.
