mtaxp Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hey,While enjoying SMP I noticed that it may have a problem with visibility limiters (Using the EFASS one but also tried the limiter that is in the org , and it's the same) I noticed that when my camera view is inside the range of the cloud layer or higher , the limiter stops working , also with the edited data refs . here are some pictures with free camera at ~6000 feet Cloud layer is on 12000-14000 , all is great Carenado_C172_1 by mtaxpfan, on Flickr Cloud layer 2000-4000 , the limiter stops working properly: Carenado_C172_2 by mtaxpfan, on Flickr Any ideas?

sundog Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 My guess is that the visibility limiter depends on X-Plane's "white out" effect, which we explicitly disable when you're near a cloud layer in order to avoid the "gray wall of death". SkyMaxx Pro has always done that. Once 10.30 goes final, there may be a better approach for this we can explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaxp Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 10.30 since beta 3 I think fixed this issue with default clouds engine , so I don't think that any approach should be taken now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontendrob Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Any new thoughts on this issue? It's confirmed by Ben that this "unlimited visibility" thing is indeed a feature and not getting fixed. I think this is a chance for SM to expand the functionality even further, as no other plugin or utility is tackling this ugly mess X-Plane becomes at FL. Just did a flight to confirm all you're "seeing" at that point is blurred terrain and a horizon which even 16x AA fails to smooth out.It's really not cool having to fiddle with the weather dialog each and every time we start up X-Plane, and I don't understand why Laminar is so ignorant about these gaping holes in the immersion.Also see this topic please: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=79066&page=1 Edited August 25, 2014 by frontendrob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
