  3. Fear not; we've been careful not to impact performance, and our beta testers have reported no framerate problems even with all the new features on. Just in case - all of the new features have associated configuration settings, so you can tune and enable or disable them as you see fit.

  4. This actually happened a little while ago. I won't mention any names, but a developer decided to sell his own add ons and publish for a small handful of other developers. There were problems with the add on and soon after, the developer just up and disappeared. People left with "broken aircraft" and no channels of communication. Publishers who's sole responsibility is publishing aircraft are very much needed. Developers have enough on their plate without having to answer support emails. We'd never get any work done.

  8. When your potential customer base is FSX users, perhaps the small percentage of people who search for the right thing and stumble on your website, or read the right forum post, is enough to kickstart a real business. But X-Plane is much smaller, and so you need bigger guns to raise awareness of your product. The primary value resellers like X-Aviation bring is their customer database. With one email campaign, your product will be in front of a huge number of active X-Plane users instantly. The reach they have is orders of magnitude greater than what you could achieve on your own, and well worth their modest commission. Plus, having a first line of technical support means the developer can actually take a day off once in awhile.

  14. Resellers act as a very useful buffer to handle sales, advertising, admin, promotion and first level support. There are not enough hours in the day and cash in the system to be able to remove them. Support in particular chews through a huge amount of time which would leave almost nothing for actual product development. Delegation is key to success in many areas of life. Payware for X-Plane is a niche slice of a niche part of a niche hobby. There just isn't that much money moving through the system. What we need is for customers to accept that they're invested in X-Plane flourishing as much as we, the developers are. They need to stop sitting on the fence and wishing for PMDG/ASN/pet_feature and invest some disposable income. Real life consumes money at a much faster rate than X-Plane. Here in Australia a basic evening out for dinner and a movie for two would set you back around $100. The movie will be quickly forgotten, the dinner will be literally flushed down the toilet within 24 hours, yet people cry over a $30-$60 aircraft that will last them for potentially months of entertainment. Yes, there are some crap products out there, but that's no different to your average department store. There's plenty of useless stuff out there to fill your garage with.

  17. We do the best we can with the information X-Plane gives us, which is just a single value indicating how "thunderstormy" it is around the plane. SkyMaxx Pro represents these types of conditions with a mixture of three different cloud types: - Cumulus congestus clouds, which make up most of the clouds in SkyMaxx Pro. - "Towering cumulus" clouds, which are basically really really big and tall cumulus congestus clouds, in the process of forming into cumulonimbus thunderheads. If storms are present, we throw in a few of these around the plane. These are new types of clouds In SkyMaxx Pro 2. - Cumulonimbus clouds - these are the anvil-shaped "thunderheads" that create lightning effects. We pepper a few around the plane, the number of them being determined by X-Plane's measure of local storminess. Cumulonimbus clouds existed in SkyMaxx Pro 1, but we made them bigger and better lit for SkyMaxx Pro 2.
