  7. Support requested after 2 tickets filled

    Many thanks for your kind supports.

    Maybe SkyMax Pro is optimized to be used with HDR on witch i did not know. Will it be improved to be used with HDR off ?

    The key to my problem is to use HDR and to do so i had to reduce scenery complexity, viewing distance ect... Made backup of HD mech, some commercial scenery that eat my fps. I can now use HDR at that price and enjoy and fly through those wonderful clouds produced by SkyMax Pro.

    I always used external fan to cool my Mac. The all aluminum back is used as a heat sink and become warm after 30 min. of flying. So my little fan do his job.

    As Defiance_co said "he's maybe got it running sweet as a nut, and loving every cloud and passing hour flight-time-wise" 

    Yes i do

    Report on HDR testing with IXEG 737:

    I can now reproduce screening effect at will.

    With HDR on + few cumulus = nice sky with haze but no cloud

    With HDR on + cumulus sct = lots of nice clouds

    With HDR off + few or no cumulus = dull sky and no cloud

    With HDR off + cumulus sct = screening all over

    Playing with HDR on/off and environment setting i can reproduce my problem at will. As stated before, i am suffering of a huge drop in fps. With HDR and cumulus sct on two levels give me at worse 18 fps.

     

    PS. I don't understand myself why Gizmo is not listed but this is the way IXEG has installed 737 Classic and it work nicely !

    This happens with HDR off as HDR reduce frame rate by 10 so i never use HDR.

    Let me throw an idea in the bucket ...

    There must be a link of some sort between SkyMaxx Pro and IXEG 737 Classic.

    The only one i see is the sky.

    SkyMax Pro produce nice clouds

    IXEG 737 Classic scan this sky with radar

    Is this the link that give me problems after a while ?

    As usual, used QuickFlight Setup with Weather "Few" and lather Visibility 20 NM.

    But this time with Cirrus jet and fly through clouds 2 hrs without any problem.

    On IXEG site with similar problem made them suspect SkyMaxx Pro

    On the other hand, this test might suggest interaction between SkyMax Pro and IXEG 737 Classic. All i wish is to get those nice clouds with 737 Classic.

    If this can be of any help ...

    Video driver is integrated into Mac OS therefore no access to video setting. I am Mac user as stated on my first post.

    As if this happen with other aircrafts never been tested since i used Skymax Pro. Your IXEG 737 is a gem and if this problem does not happen with native aircraft would not solve my problem at all.

    Gentlemen, 

    I sent 2 tickets so far and did not solve my problem yet.

    Ticket # DFU2X : sent May 16, 2016

    Ticket # AZ1CQ : sent May 22, 2016

     

    I purchased Skymax Pro April 28, 2016 and gives me sky like picture attached.

    Once in a while, the sky scramble and i have to abort my flight as i can’t see anything therefore can’t land without seing the runway.
    Can i cure this on fly or do y have to disable Skymax Pro ? Very disappointed with this problems as your clouds are so nice when it work !

    My systems:

    iMac retina 5K, 27”, late 2014
    Intel Core i7, 4 Ghz
    32 Go 1600 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon R9 M295X, 4096 Mo Vram
    OS X El Capitan updated to V 10.11.6

    X-Plane 10 V 10.45 (64 bit)
     

    Hope someone can solve this

  15. Tip for Saitek throttle quadrant in 737

    Hi slai

    There are micro-switches installed inside the main engine handles. You can check on CockpitSimParts site the wiring diagram for all six switches. 

    I am too lazy to open Saitek module and hardwire those inside. :ph34r:

    No axes used for reverse and moving back the handles gives the same effect once programmed in x-plane setup.
