Yep.

Ground services plugin.

I think they look appropriate for the time of year.

Seems like it's normal. Even X-Plane has runway lights on. Where in the world is this? Noon in different parts of the world is not always bright at certain times of year.

I'd advise you contact your bank with regards to this. Nothing wrong on our end.

Only the first part is. Doesn't take away from the fact that not only does it look awful, it's also not released it seems.

That looks somewhat terrible.

Except it's impossible for your same issue as Ryan to be related if Ryan doesn't even have SMP...

And it happened to someone else without having it at all. Not sure what point you're trying to drive here?

All of this is normal. Nothing bad going on here.

SMP is an abbreviation for SkyMaxx Pro.

You don't even have SMP installed, so beats me what the relevance of Mat's post really was. I'm wondering if this is a Laminar issue. I'm hearing a lot of stutter issues with 10.4x

Very well done. Congrats!

Problem is here: C:\Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/X-Plane 10/Resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/64/win.xpl : Error Code = 127 : Nie moøna odnaleüÊ okreúlonej procedury.Install VS 2012 redistributable libs update 4 from Microsoft.

Rich, Yes, SMP controlling its own destiny would ultimately provide the best result. Trust me when I say we're very well aware of it.

Please attach your log.txt file located in your X-Plane folder.

That's really bizarre. What brand?

Stefano, Due to limitations in the X-Plane SDK, the surrounding clouds around you are depicted on your current METAR positions. Far out formations will not remain. This has been around since v1 of SMP, and is simply because we don't have the access we need at this time to correct the behavior. We have a few ideas in place to solve this. They are major workarounds, but for now things are status quo and what you're seeing is nothing new.

Yes.

Surely you can adjust a slider on your own in live time and see the difference if you so desire? Screenshots aren't going to change much, and because it's a slider it's not as if you'll be able to get the slider to "exactly" where you saw it in a manuals' screenshots. Anyways, I'll let Frank answer the rest here.

X-Plane's VRAM numbers in the rendering window are NOTHING to go by. SkyMaxx Pro actually does API calls TO your video card to get true numbers. Rendering settings numbers are essentially junk, so what SMP 3 says you have...is what you have.

SkyMaxx Pro 3 was NOT made with any one weather injector in mind, so I'm not entirely clear where you got that from. We are aware of FS Global Weather, but of course we're not responsible for how it decides when/where/how to load X-Plane weather. You'd need to take that up with them (even though I realize this is an informational post).

Aside from the original poster, what are your monitor setups?

Almost undoubtedly 3 monitors is the issue here. That's major cause for fill rate issues! You'd probably be shocked as a fun test to see how much better your performance is on just one monitor (even if this is not practical for you).

What does the SMP 3 settings window show for your memory usage?
