The cabin (or 3D for that matter is not completed), so something like this would be in very final steps. Work in progress, but we wanted to show where we're at anyhow! Haha, no. This was not a procedural video. Purely a showing off of sounds with no care in the world to how it's flown before I press File > Quit.

Hi Folks!, I've just finished putting together a video titled 'Sights and Sounds'. The purpose of the video is to showcase the latest version of the 737-300 project as it stands today with some sound additions, 3D model enhancements, and just all around cool effects! Work continues daily, and we can all see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully you're all as excited as we are! Enjoy!

"I would say you are more fck up than serious if so.." is definitely a judgment on a person who spends their time how they choose if I've ever heard one. You have no idea what one's circumstances may be, and it is neither in your place (nor mine) to judge any person in such a manner. Many people read these forums, and that can certainly be offensive to some. Please be considerate of feelings before you write.

It is really, very inappropriate to judge people in this way, Tom. Please keep it away from here.

That would be cloud scud. Perfectly normal, by design, and often encountered in real life. There's also technical reasons why this is present, but I won't bore you with all of that.

Not really sure what you mean. These have always been available with SkyMaxx.

Theoretically it will work with any weather injector.

He said he's NOT a serious pilot because he only spends about 10% of his time in the sim.

No. Being a commercial product, when Laminar tells you not to play with certain things and they are prone to break...well, you don't play with them!

No differently than those from XPX weather download injection. These shots were taken with default. Prior shots were taken with FSGRW.

Thanks! Glad you like what you see!

Hey there, Honestly, with improvements we've been doing to SkyMaxx Pro 3 as a whole, I'm getting more FPS today with the new build and this new Real Weather Connector than I was with SkyMaxx Pro v3. We'll have more info about SkyMaxx Pro v3.1 later (which will of course be free for existing SMP3 users).

Simple: It won't.

Haha, nope! SkyMaxx Pro disables the default cloud engine since it's a performance waste to run together at that point.

New screenshots have just been posted: http://forums.x-pilot.com/topic/8666-real-weather-connector-screenshots-thread-3/#entry91461

Hi All, Today we began testing a new beta of Real Weather Connector which offers up some more refined clouds and colorations. These are the first tests in such a scenario when utilizing Real Weather Connector. The screenshots are taken at a range of altitudes during climb out from an area in California. Final screenshots are take at FL300.

Thanks, Chris!

You can fix it by lowering the sliders. We hope to improve on this going forward as well. Good idea. We'll look into it.

We'll manage the marketing when we're done with beta testing, Chris. Please don't try and turn this into a schooling topic. We have plenty of time to show work as it's progressing. You don't expect Goran to release the Citation with just one wing, or buttons missing in the cockpit when he shows progress shots, do you? There's nothing different here. Let it go. The 'Work in progress' designation for this exact forum and others exists solely for the reason of showing progression.

So the screenshot with the 747 passing over a different cloud type than the overcast layer some 30 or NM behind is in no way different? That's silly, Chris. Frank has also just posted a photo above. If you are left unimpressed, so be it. This product was not in your want list, but it was in thousands of others', and the response has been tremendously positive in e-mail replies to our newsletter (and quite a number here too). Many more images will be posted over time. This is a work in progress forum for great reason, and we're excited to announce the ability to have this feature in SkyMaxx Pro (one, if not the MOST requested feature ever for the product). It's not your cup o' tea, and that's quite alright. I'm truly not interested in debating with you. If you don't see it, then so be it.

Except the "slab" was not in any way in reference to X-Plane's default weather. Again, if you read the original post which started this thread you would understand (I would hope) what this achieves, why, and how. Posting screenshots of default weather directly implies you still don't understand. I understand you are not impressed and perhaps even don't fully understand the whole picture. That said, I'm quite happy most people do "get it" and are excited by the possibilities. Vote with your wallet, Chris. No hand twisting here!

Similar to this?

No, SkyMaxx Pro is not a weather injector, and never has been. It is a cloud rendering engine based on what X-Plane's weather system (or a third party weather injector) tell X-Plane to do (thereby telling SkyMaxx Pro what clouds to render). Your misunderstanding of what the products do are ultimately misguiding your expectations here. Indeed, it is! If you prefer one, massive slab of uniform weather over seeing multiple types of weather based on real weather data, then this product definitely won't be for you!

Those clouds look awful. I don't mind giving people credit where it's due, but I can't even start to see what people find any bit realistic in what I've seen thus far with this product. Even in that last screenshot (even more evident in the videos)!

Sorry you feel that way! To me, seeing weather systems in front and behind me (or left or right) is a huge immersion change. The fact I can be in an area over some broken clouds and see the far distance overcast getting closer to me is a BIG change. This statement/question makes me strongly feel you don't understand what this product does or is intended to do. Perhaps a re-read through the thread is in order. This is not a weather injector, unlike FSGRW, EFASS, etc.
