sizziano Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks guys, really appreciate the quick turn around on these updates. Will report back with finding after work.
judeb Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 This is great, always appreciate new updates and fixes. Very happy customer
Kapitonas Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 ....this is really great, exempt that I has spent 2 downloads of 3 possible, with zero success of download. For the third time I scare to press the download button. Maybe good thing to wait until x-aviation server wake up after IXEG realize convulsion, then find anybody from support with request for reset of download quantity.

Just send an e-mail to support@x-aviation.com if it doesn't work the third time. We can reset no problem.
Kapitonas Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks for quick reply Cameron. Well done after third time....
Defiance_co Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 Hiya's, Quick report back Uninstalled via the new installer, then installed, all worked fine Went into game, egll to uudd just to start kind of wasting time until you know what gets released From my initial very dreary overcast dank cloudy heathrow, it seems my fps is better I stress that it's an eyeball on fps check, no testing done, but seems to be better on the fps-front Who knows though, take my eyeball findings lightly, can test tomorrow in my spanking new minty 737 hehe Thanks Tony
sundog Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 3.1.2 could in fact be a bit faster in terms of FPS when Real Weather Connector is used with it. The "more natural shapes" of cloud formations means a few less clouds need to be drawn than before. So, you might not be imagining it, Tony! 1
Defiance_co Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 Heya sundog, It's great to know i haven't totally lost it thus far then lol Still amazing for me, i love eye-candy and realism effects in any sim, and these clouds just are utterly astounding, i tried about every cloud variation of the org, massive fps drops, whereas smp 3 (march i got it at v3) not only fills my fov with the fluffy critters my fps doesn't suffer unless it's wall to wall and then it's simple enough to load a lower cloud radius config i've saved Not to mention the fps is better than stock clouds ! Got off to a rocky noob start, but man, i love the clouds Thanks Tony 1
K4bel123 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 Does this update also improve the VRAM footprint?
gpb500 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks sundog! Really appreciating your proactive responses, fixes and enhancements. 1

For me it seems noticeably slower.
Defiance_co Posted April 23, 2016 Report Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Heya, After i settle in with the new plane i'll try and test best i can and double check Not much longer to wait Tony ps : did you reset your settings to like for like before the update ? (i bet you did, but sometimes the obvious can get missed, i should know lol) Edited April 23, 2016 by Defiance_co added text
rickdeckard Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Hi all, Just purchased today skymaxxx but the downloadable version for me is 3.1.1 I think there's something wrong.. BR.

BR. You're right! I've fixed this, so if you try downloading again it should be 3.1.2. This only affected NEW customers since the 3.1.2 release.

dirk_schwarz Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 I noticed, that there is a problem with Skymax pro 3.1.2 and the new IXEG 737 (version 1.0.2). After takeoff sometimes the framrate drops from 25fps to about 2fps. Sometimes it recovers, sometime it doesn´t. This always happens within 10min after takeoff. Other planes, like the FlightFactorv757, 777 work well. During the last four fps hickups, I disabled the Skymaxx pro plugin and the framerate came backt to 25fps. But he overhead panel, the pedestrial did not work anymore on the IXEG 737. I am using a Mac Pro 2015, Yosemite with 64GB RAM and 3GB VRAM (during fps hickups the VRAM reads 1100MB left. Temperaturevis definitely not an issue...
sundog Posted May 1, 2016 Report Posted May 1, 2016 Might help if you could post your log.txt, Dirk. What you're describing certainly has the symptoms of just running out of resources, as the IXEG is a fairly demanding aircraft on memory - but that's at odds with what your free VRAM seems to be. The way MacOS reports VRAM usage is very odd, so that number could be misleading. Your log.txt may shed some light on it though.
