     I recently downloaded the SkyMaxx 4.9.5 and i get an error 'You need to specify a value' after putting in my email address. Any solutions?

     

     

    Change your windows font to 100% reboot and retry ;)

    In order to install the last version, do I need to uninstall the one I am using before installing or the update is automatic?

    Thanks,

    Juan

     

     

    No need to uninstall. The new installer will take care of everything!

    Somethings not right.

    First off, the clouds are the best I have ever seen!  Just fantastic.

    I am using a three monitor setup.  Front monitor, and two side monitors, as side windows.  The front monitor is fine, everything looks great.  The side monitors, the clouds do not move correctly at all.  It is like they are stuck to the plane or something, not in the sky.  When I bank the plane, they move along with it, and dip down into the ground.  Looks and feels really strange.  The shadows also move in a strange way.

    Again, this is only on the side monitors, the front looks fine when pitching up and down.

    If there is a way to fix this, please let me know.  If not, I would please like a refund, as it is not a useable product for 3 screen application.

    thank you!

    Is your 3 screen setup using a single computer, or multiple networked ones?

     

    I have set up several sims for 3 screens and SkyMaxx Pro runs as intended on these screens.

    Super fast response!  And it gives me hope that it is just something messed up on my system that can be fixed!

    It is on a single system.  Intel i7 7700k, GTX 1080, 32GB 3200 memory, win 10 and 11.5 on Vulkan.  

    Here is a video of my setup from over a year ago to give you an idea of what I have.  Let me get a video of what the clouds are doing with SkyMaxx so you can see it.  It is very strange.  I thought it was a problem with the software, but it sounds like you have gotten it to work.

     

    Here is a video of what the clouds are doing on the side screens.  Looking at the right screen if I bank left, the clouds move down, into the terrain instead of staying in the position in the sky.  I tried different altitudes of flight and clouds, and it still does it.  Very strange.

    Video turned out in low quality, not sure why.  I can do another in high quality if you need it, but you can kind of see what I am talking about in this video.

    After playing with it more I think I know what it looks like.  Out the front everything looks normal.  The clouds look several thousand feet above me, several miles out.  out the side windows they look like they are at flight level with me maybe only a few hundred yards off, and that is they way they act too when I move the plane.  That is why they dip down to ground level.

    Any ideas why this might be happening?  I am disabling all my add ons, and trying different settings, still it does it.  Going to try OGL and different resolutions next.

     

    Edit:  I Have figured out the problem!

    It has to do with different resolutions on the monitors.  I normally run the main monitor at 2560x1440 and the side monitors at 1920 x1080.  This is causing the problem.  If I switch all the monitors to 2560x1440, the problem goes away, and all looks fantastic.  The only issue is now I loose at least 10fps.  I don't need to run the side monitors at such a high resolution, but I do need to run the front monitor that high because it is so big.

    Any chance you can look into it and see if there may be a quick fix for multiple monitors at different resolutions?

    Thanks!

     

    Edit:  Doh!  I thought I had it all fixed.  Now I have swimming shadows.  The cloud shaddows don't stay fixed on the scenery when I move the plane, they float over the hills and valleys.  They look great in strait and level flight, but when they are moving it just all looks strange.  On a good note, the clouds look fantastic now!

    I bought the V5 version today and the game will not run properly after installation. It will crash your game. It says out of memory, CPU utilization is 100%, memory utilization is 98% and the game crashes
