Time for my first attempt God rays are turned off as I can't see any real benefit for the frame rate loss.

Id like to share some more real world goodness, another look at low visibility with SkyMAXX:

Hi Cameron, I finally decided to be brave and .... bought SM Pro. I was a bit nervous. I installed it, started XP. I liked what I saw a lot. BUT, It was still VATSIM and frame rate to be checked..... Logged into VATSIM, all good. Went to different airport still logged at VATSIM, saw traffic ( I was not on runway or taxiway ) I started liking even more what I saw. Frame rate in the busiest airports 30+, excellent! I said, OK, one more test , I flew on VATSIM 1hr + flight for one of the VA I am a member and all went FANTASTIC, no frame rate drop. Delay with each weather update marginal ( I have weather check on VATSIM every 5 minutes). John, Cameron and all people who developed SkyMax Pro, you guys did a fantastic job! It definitely increases the realism of XP a few notches in one shot. This was the plugin I was waiting for since I started with XP version 8. I am speechless. ( no wonder, English is my second language ) Look at these clouds , they are ALIVE!!!!! OK, I need to settle down , I do not want to banned. Cameron, THAT was a joke, you know that, for the sake of old good times, no offense intended at all, just maybe you will smile reading that. I hope nobody will mind if I say it again. John, Cameron and the whole XA Team, you excelled in what you achieved. OK, now the explanations, I made a video, wanted to share my enthusiasm and fun. I made some quick sunrises at KPHL, KORF, KTXU, KJFL, KLAX, KSFO KDEN and final parts in AK. You will also see my SM Pro, Rendering and my systems specs including graphic card. After what I saw today, I would not be surprised to see me flying the route I flew today in SAAB. Many thanks from a very happy customer, outstanding job Gentlemen. Cheers, AJ Hope you enjoy the video. P.S. Did I mention that the "gray screen of death" is gone? See the end of the video. I just watched the video and I messed up recording my system settings si I attached SSs, sorry.

We spent soooooooo much time looking at these clouds

The first two are 1.0 and the seccond two are 1.1. I'm impressed you can pick out the difference, I must say that 1.1 runs a lot smoother though. Thanks for the update!

Pedestal beginnings

Yes, I definitely like it ! I hope you will do more videos of the HD Mesh Scenery v2!

Hi, here there are another video with HD mesh v2 and SkyMaxx Pro 1.1, an update, you known, with fixed a improvements, in my opinion excelent update of this engine. I hope you like, sorry for flying mistakes

What can I say

wow MdMax... !!! those look like real photographs. That C90 is just too nice. Much smooth. So frames.

Hi Kyle, You forgot to enter the ORIGIN and Rwy maybe?, that is why the FMS enters 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 when you input 15 into the OAT field on the THRUST LIMIT page. I guess the FMS needs those bits of data to calculate something, densirty alt maybe? Or put another way, when I left the Rwy field blank, I get 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, but when I enter a Rwy it works. Don't forget to EXEC, after entering a Rwy. Also the bit about it working 50% of the time, I suspect the settings are "sticky" between sessions, eg. 1st test load the CRJ, forget to enter Rwy will result in 0,0,0,0. 2nd test, load the CRJ agian, enter ORIGIN and Rwy will result in correct thrust limits. If you try to "fix" it during the same load session, i.e. by trying to re-enter ORIGIN or RWY a 2nd time you may get different results for example if you try 2 flights in one load session. cessna729.

Yes, immediately!

When I was with ATC we used to call it the slowtation. The only aircraft to have bird strikes from behind.

I highly doubt they will make anything compatible with FSX. FSX is dead, and there isn't much point in developing for it.
