I do not do support through private message. As it turns out, you have relentlessly sent endless e-mails over time for your support ticket. Our website is very clear when you create a support ticket: "Please do not send multiple e-mails or this will delay our response to you!" This is further followed up AFTER you submit a ticket with massive red text explaining it to you yet again. Don't send further e-mails. You'll get a response.

That's an order number, not a support ticket number...

Do you have a support ticket number so I can look into this?

No worries! I reset it for you. Thanks for the compliments!

Hello, all, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 3.1 update for SkyMaxx Pro. All customers who have purchased SkyMaxx Pro v3 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase SkyMaxx Pro v3 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 3.1 for you. What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviati...talog/login.php 2. View your past order history invoice that contains SkyMaxx Pro purchase on it. 3. At the bottom of the invoice you will find a blue highlighted link to your update that says: "SkyMaxx Pro v3". There are some important fixes and requests implemented in this update. The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Landing lights now illuminate clouds as you fly through them! Performance enhancements to reduce "stutters" when new cloud conditions are loaded Many overall performance enhancements More variation in cloud shapes More accurate cloud altitudes Visual improvements to solid and broken stratiform clouds Numerical setting values now displayed in the config screen New ability to save and load named configuration sets More tuning of cloud lighting, visibility, and shadow effects Ready for the upcoming Real Weather Connector product "Hi res clouds" option changed to selections for "Fast", "Soft", and "Crisp". "Fast" is the old low-res SMP 1.0 clouds; "Crisp" are the "hi res" clouds of SMP 2+. The new "soft" option is somewhere in between; higher resolution, but more blurry and indistinct. A few new screenshots to showcase v3.1: As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

I'd be more willing to bet this is some sort of scenery load crash.

Okay!

That's exactly what the work in progress section here is for. PLENTY of screenshots in the gallery on the website already otherwise.

Turning it down is not the solution from a technical standpoint. I'm really not the one to discuss this either. @sundog is better versed in this situation. Sorry!

Understood. Those are "imposters" to fill in gaps in distance. Maybe it's more noticeable with a lower draw distance as shown.

Is this image highly zoomed in, or what's going on here?

Most welcome!

Utilizing the contact form on X-Aviation will create a support ticket for you. Explaining to us the need for the reset will 99% of the time result in us offering a free reset of the download for you. This is also explained in our terms (section 5): http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/conditions.php

Bob, I've reset those downloads for you. Give that a go and see how it works out.

We don't really have a final word on this for now. The only promise for the moment is the NavDataPro from Aerosoft. If things change we would certainly communicate that at the appropriate moment.

Bob, Yes, both machines should have fresh installs of the products from the actual installers. That said, if you are missing your SkyMaxx Pro installer the process would be to re-download (what's the order number?) or copy JUST the SilverLining folder located in your master machines plugins folder over to the new machine AFTER installing the DC3 fresh from am installer. Easiest and cleanest route will always be from an installer rather than copying though!

It's certainly possible.

What your describing sounds like computer resources going down the tubes. Likely GPU.

Still in beta, guys.

You're posting in the Real Weather Connector thread. Just to be sure you understand, this is not a part of 3.1.

This is an X-Plane limitation. We have come up with a solution for it in the next update though.

You're way too far ahead of yourself Tom. Put it this way: We know more about X-Plane and version 10/11 than the public does by a factor of many. There are no concerns.

You are not everyone. We've been through this with a group before. The overall consensus was pretty overwhelmingly in favor of the current implementation. I'm sorry if you don't find that to be realistic, but many others do.

Making a plane great and making money FOR making the plane great are two different things. This is a business first and foremost. People have families and lives, and these things must be taken into account when dedicating resources to projects.

While I agree it would be cool, we've discovered a lesson during this products lifetime. We thought variants would be an effective way to give people good variety, and that there would be many who use all, but the truth is only about 2% of Saab 340A customers use the cargo or AEW variant. Because of this, going into the future we've agreed not to do multiple variants on new products. So with that said, while it would be fun, the demand necessary to generate the revenue and pay back the cost of development for this is simply not there.
