Captains, It is with great pleasure that I get the opportunity to announce SkyMaxx Pro v3.0 to you today! There's been a lot of speculation out there on whether we were creating the next version already, or what may be in it, and today we can tell you a whole lot more! Without question, SkyMaxx Pro v3 is our most advanced plugin to date. We're extremely excited about the features it brings to the X-Plane experience, so without further ado, the feature list for SkyMaxx Pro v3 is as follows (there is a preview video below!): New stratiform clouds! Stratus and overcast cloud layers may now be represented by thick, volumetric clouds. - Extends all the way to the horizon - Both solid and broken stratiform representations - Advanced lighting model with real Mie scattering and fogbows! - Realistic in-cloud effects for convincing IFR landings and takeoffs - Simulated scud layer - Real simulation of single, double, and multiple scattering of sunlight and moonlight through the clouds - Even faster than SkyMaxx Pro 2's clouds! Vastly increased cloud draw distances! - 3D volumetric cloud layers adjustable up to 200KM wide - Uses "dynamically generated imposters" technology to keep frame-rates up - Convincing high-altitude weather for jetliner pilots Soft cloud / terrain blending - Adjustable soft blending of any cloud type with terrain - Makes for gorgeous ground fog, or clouds surrounding mountaintops! Improved memory usage and memory management tools - Clouds now consume less video and system memory - Real-time video and system memory monitor alerts you when resources get low - VRAM and RAM usage displayed in the SkyMaxx Pro configuration screen - VRAM usage reported is the actual usage reported by the video drivers, not an estimate Integration with SoundMaxx - Lightning effects in SkyMaxx Pro 3 will trigger 3D positional thunder sound effects when SoundMaxx is installed Lots of extra polish. - Rendering anomalies with lightning addressed - Better darkening of clouds as the sun sets - Cloud layers automatically avoid visually distracting intersections - Improved appearance of cloud shadows in low-visibility conditions Video: Screenshots (Click to see large view): Information on upgrade eligibility: SkyMaxx Pro v3 will be a paid upgrade for all current SkyMaxx Pro v1 and v2 owners. Those of you who qualify will receive a 50% off ($19.95 instead of $39.95) upgrade discount which will be valid for 60 days from the time SkyMaxx Pro v3 goes on sale. After this, the product will go to full price for all customers. This will be the first time we have done paid upgrades, but in order to provide continued development on this plugin (both in the past and into the future) it is necessary to charge for this upgrade. Information on release: SkyMaxx Pro v3 will be released in as short order as possible. We currently have a beta team going through Release Candidate builds. Once that is done it's on to packaging and release. We will keep everyone updated as we get closer to the release. Thanks to everyone for their continued support in this amazing product! See you in the skies!

Andy, What you're asking for is not available to plugins information access wise. As such, this remains the same for now.
