B-777-20 ER

The great freeware B200 while I wait for Carenados new version...

It can be somewhat hard to blatantly find, but this has been discussed extensively in these forums. For the moment it's simply not possible with X-Plane's current SDK. Regarding the shots John posted just above...be prepared to check your inboxes soon on another update!

We are focused on getting SkyMAXX updated for X-Plane at the moment but who knows where this journey will take us On our initial roll out in HDR mode SkyMAXX drew clouds twice plus there were some ugly lighting issues, this made performance very poor in HDR mode we fixed it with Version 1.1. I decided to change a few textures in the V1.2 update in an attempt to make the clouds seem more detailed, in hindsight I think this made the clouds seem less volumetric. We are going to be releasing a minor update soon that brings back the more volumetric look in the clouds:

Left the Freeworld livery for a bit to fly through some of my favourite 757 liveries (finally bought the FF757... )... Also because we don't have one... yet... Yes I know Northwest never had any 757s with winglets. So shoot me.

I've been working on a plugin for the CRJ-200 which simulates the co-pilot, flight attendant, ground crew and passengers in a realistic way. For now it's only for the CRJ-200 (my favorite plane) but other popular planes should follow. A few features : - Fully voiced co-pilot, flight attendant, public announcements and even ground crew. All done by professional voice actors. - Fully voiced, realistic and dynamic checklists for the CRJ-200. And the co-pilot will perform its duties during landing/take-off. It's like a light (but still very realistic) version of FS2Crew. - Generate a dispatch sheet with a realistic schedule, Fuel/CG/VSpeeds calculations, METAR data etc. - Flight scoring and passengers reactions (like in the excellent FSX plugin FSPassengers). Your passengers will react if you perform dangerous maneuvers, applaud your nice landing but won't be happy if you don't follow the announced schedule. - Fully customizable flights (origin/destination, passengers, cargo etc). Each flight can be logged in HTML format. - You can even order a coffee from the flight attendant while cruising. Yup, it took me two days to code this, i regret nothing. If you enjoy the CRJ-200 and flying in a realistic way, I think you will love this plugin.

Look the amazing clouds one Picture

AJ, While I appreciate your input you are missing the point regarding Vinny. He seems to need to post things that are simply irrelevant or are a rehash of what has already been said. We (developers) need to monitor the forums for REAL problems, which takes time. Someone who posts just for the sake of posting, repeats already posted problems (after the issue has been solved), posts something that is completely irrelevant, or posts something that makes no sense whatsoever (see Vinny's post (#9) above) is a waste of our time. We try to be tolerant of language barriers, etc. Non-English speakers also need to be tolerant and try their best to post in a coherent manner. Repeat offenses tells me the poster is NOT trying hard enough and not listening very well. I don't think the issue with Vinny is one of not speaking English, but rather something else entirely.

To facts. 1: Comparing FSX clouds to X-PLANE is just silly 2: All the sliders to the right equals best graphics is plain stupid Happy easter everyone. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Ok, thanks. You know, it's the hope that dies last...

Huey I am well aware of the competition and to be honest I am not a big fan, the approach is outdated and not as volumetric.... I mean this in a very nice way, maybe FSX/P3D is what you are looking for...... Our goal isn't to make a REX clone and this will never be our focus.....Not to say REX isnt beautiful, but pictures in the sky are not what we want. My vision of SM is to have beautiful cloud formations that are volumetric and realistic, something pretty and practical for flight simulation. As far as your assestment of the SS's I just provided if you look at them you will see we are adding more details to the clouds, again this is a very early look at them. I usually hesistate posting such images since users tend to jump to conclusions. In this case I wanted to post some images as to say "hey look we are working on things for you" , but that has backfired and my update is crap according to Huey.....If I dont post anything I see things like "SkyMAXX is Falling Apart in a Ball of Fire".....Damned if I do and damned if I dont..... Updates to SkyMaxx are not always geared towards visual enhancements BTW, most importantly, stability of the promised product was our initial focus. Now that we have this, as shown in the above images(which backfired), we are focused on making SkyMAXX more visually appealing.......

Because crop dusting was too mainstream...
