Huey I am well aware of the competition and to be honest I am not a big fan, the approach is outdated and not as volumetric....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.......
