I do not want to mislead you but I think that the first part is Alaska and the second one is Alps somewhere in Europe. Mountains will look pretty much the same as in the video regardless of what part of the world you are, I am sure Colorado will look great also. Cheers, AJ

I think it was a question for me. Skymax Pro I used all sliders in the middle and from pull down menu Special/Show Sky Colors, I believe I used mount: ( for mountains I guess) Maxx XP, I do not remember, I was playing with so many settings that I just do not remember this particular one but it was a POwer User Option. I used the latest scripts from Tom's links, did not changed anything. I am sure you will also like the video below. Enjoy! Cheers, AJ

Thank you Tony, I guess there is not much to do until X-Plane team will make this aspect of X-Plane better. Thank you for your time. Cheers, AJ

Tony, I thought ( without checking, sorry) that area like Philadelphia should have a lot of data. I know that X-Plane also lacks in that area , metropolitan ones. I will look into OSM data but if you want to see what you can get, that would be great. Thank you again. Will check forums tonight. Cheers, AJ

Hi Tony, I am going out now but no luck. I am doing something definitely wrong. First ss shows my regular settings , the are KPHL buildings from custom scenery but auto generation is bad ( no buildings) Second ss shows what it looks like after I add zz_Philadelphia folder, it seems that there are buildings generated with your program but they are very sparse. I do not know how to run the different parameters for redoing the scenery. Sorry for taking so much of your time, I wish I knew more how to run your program with more objects created and taller buildings. Cheers, AJ

Tony, thank you. And the last question today, sorry, does it matter what Rendering Settings I use, in particular number of objects and roads. I have it set to default, not tons and a lot. Cheers, AJ

Tony, So far I have new version beta 0.2.0 Downloaded World Models Master and put in XPlane ?custopm Scenery folder Downloaded Philadelphia from here http://download.bbbike.org/osm/bbbike/Philadelphia/%C2'> ( osm.pbf one ) Both Libraries mentioned on the site. Folder Philadelphia created. Where the Philadelphia folder needs to be as far as the hierachy, I have custom KPHL scenery and zzz_hd_global_scenery2 folder for high density meshes. Thank you, AJ

Tony, That was absolutely super fast response. I downloaded new beta 0.2.0 but I do not know what do refer to in this Thank you . Cheers, AJ

This is really fantastic tool . I wanted to give it a try but I have problems. See attached. I used binary PBF OSM date file from here http://metro.teczno.com/#philadelphia The errors says "Unable to resume osm file is different from source used to generate" Then there is a repetive error " can't find coordinates for node ....." See attached The philadelphia folder was created though. Where do I put created folder? I just put it in Custopm Scenery Folder. Looking forward to create some valid scenery with your help. Cheers, AJ

No, arb was fine because he knew that your original negative response was caused by lack of proper information. Below is the sample of what can be achieved by my favorite "trio" LES Saab 340A , SkyMaxx Pro and Maxx-XP. It was made before the latest SMP update which is now even better. I was flying on FSEconomy and did not want to "waste" the flight. I am paying off Saab 340A of FSE, need every v$. Enjoy! Cheers, AJ For the best viewing results , please watch on You Tube , full screen and HD

SkyMaxx Pro without shadowing.

The solution is Maxx-FX http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/maxx-p-107.html

Thanks Tom, YOU did it with Maxx guys. I will try maybe . It is kind of additcive, I was adjusting the components for over an hour and could not decide what would be the best. I guess it might actually vary depending on where one flies. At least I have a solid base to enjoy the X-Plane environment now. The magic TRIO works perfect for me. Cheers, AJ

Gentlemen, as promised. SkyMaxx Pro, Maxx-XP and FlywithLUA scripts together. Three Stooges? Awesome combination for my taste. Judge for yourself. First two are around KASE ( Aspen , CO) and the airport is KPHL ( Philadelphia International , like nobody knew it.. ) Enjoy! Cheers, AJ

I agree, it is just a simple copy and paste to comine them all. Cheers, AJ

Hi Tom, Just wanted to let you know that last night I have tried scripts with SkyMaxx Pro and Maxx-XP running. Despite the errors discussed above, I got some VERY nice results, I will post it here tonight. Great job, thank you. Cheers, AJ P.S. When you are done with all debugging, can you copy and paste the most recent combined code for alr and light modifications like you did in the past. Just the whole text that needs to go to ONE script file ending with .lua extension in Scripts folder.

Gentlemen, I was quite busy in real life and did not have a chance to post here, it kind of sorted out now so here I am AGAIN. This weekend I was having a long talk with my LES Saab340A pilots and decided to go for their requests. I gave them long awaited and needed glasses, they have been complaining about it for a long time. Later on I was not sure it it was a right decision but after a long personal talk with Captain I just bought him a wig... :lol: I think he is much happier now. Cheers, AJ

Purchased!

John, I know you are going to believe me .... I was about to say at the end of my reply ..." wife does not know.." Seriously. Do you have a part time job as mind reader??!! Tomorrow is coming soon. Cheers, AJ

OK John, no problem. Thanks for the info. Understood. In this case MAX-FX will have to do the trick. Cheers, AJ Getting it tomorrow morning.

Tom, I honestly love the results you achieved BUT I will wait till John and the SkyMaxx Pro gang will add all these things so it is more average user friendly. Copying , pasting and creating all these scripts files is way to much for an average user. Do not take me wrong, I DO love the look and I believe it can be incorporated in the new MAX-FX which I will probably get tomorrow anyway... Cheers, AJ

What a modeling , wow. I can feel Saab trembling. Cheers, AJ

Mat, did you try without HDR? I like Tom's screenshots but want to make sure I do not mess things up. Maybe I wait till Tom optimize for sharing the LUA settings. Tom, does it have to be run with HDR on? Cheers, AJ

Agreed. Cheers, AJ

Great news, now the same question, how one incorporates these settings without too much hassle? Cheers, AJ
