About the visual stuff, will review them for the upcoming update, which might take a little longer and won't be just a bug fixing but more of an upgrade in some respect. About the rolling to the left. A single engine propeller aircraft experiences, as long as the propeller rotates, what the Newton's 3rd law dictates, "for every action is an opposite and equal reaction". That mean as the propeller rotates to the right (from pilot's view point), the fuselage will rotate to the left. On the ground this translates to higher weight pressure on the left tire, so on the roll the left tire experiences higher amounts of friction than the right one (and with the action of other forces), turns the aircraft to the left. But, on the air, there is no tire friction and the only "stuff" that try to counteract this rotational force is the drag that wings and vertical stab surfaces create when they rotate as reaction of the propeller rotation. You can imagine (and compute if you want) that those forces are not so big to stop any rotation specially at high rpm, and as rotation builds up, the right wind has bigger angle of attack from the left, thus makes the phenomenon stronger. The phenomenon decreases as the rpm go down and the airspeed builds up. At higher airspeed, the vertical stab creates a streamline effect that opposes to a degree any yaw/roll movement, thus makes the aircraft more stable in straight flight. As long as all the above are happening on the aircraft, it is ok. As about aileron trimming, since the aircraft does not have such abilities, we don't provide any in the cockpit, but we haven't locked out the ability to use the aileron trim if you like.

Thank you very much Ilias for the analytical reply, explaining the left roll effect. I was aware of the phenomenon but didn't know it can be so evident. I'm not sure if I have felt it that much in another airplane so maybe that's why I thought good to report it. I will try to use your RPM and airspeed recommendations and the use of autopilot will take care of it for long flights. Regarding the visual stuff, thank you very much for taking these into account and thinking to revisit the visuals in a later upgrade. I'll be looking forward to this, the plane certainly deserves all the treatment it can get : ) Thank you again and keep up the excellent job!

What I stated is accurate. That would be great, but SkyMaxx Pro has been on the market much longer and things are pretty predictable now. I do not think there will be an influx. I don't know if what you're asking from UWXP will work or not. Experiment, I guess!

Hi all, I used to get my charts from navigraph but when it came up to renew I stopped the charts and just kept the airac going. It took me along time to find a good website for all my charts. It used it involve a lot of searching and web and a lot of pages open then I found this very good site for all of my charts all in one place and I thought you all may not have found a good site yet if that's you then give this site ago. https://chartfox.org/ its got sids stars and all in between, if you have another that you use please let me know. Happy flying. Richard

its VR supported , i paid same as you so i expect to hear a better helpful reply.

Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 4.8.1 update for SkyMaxx Pro.

It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Improved the appearance of cumulus congestus, cumulonimbus, and towering cumulus clouds (much less of a stacked / layered appearance to these clouds) As always, thanks for purchasing from X-Aviation!

If people didn't turn up every slider they see and then complain about performance to everyone they can, I'd agree! A "cloud density" slider would affect performance a lot, which is why I'm hesitating to add one.

VR: Still only 2% of the market. http://dashboard.x-plane.com/ Maximum effort for minimum market share is good way to waste time.
