The service ceiling for this aircraft is 25,000ft.

Already been addressed. See my thread in the SkyMaxx screenshot forum.

We're on it!

Enjoy. Love all the possibilities! Version 1.1 coming soon.

Use the flashlight feature provided by X-Plane itself.

I think you have a pretty reasonable chance of getting close to that, yes.

Thanks for the info. We'll investigate this today!

Let's start with the basics... Please remove all plugins from the plugins folder except for Gizmo64.plugin and SilverLining. What happens now?

Are you having this problem with both variants?

All this log shows is that you opened Plane Maker...

First off, the Sabach software uses intellectual property ripped off from the developers of REX for MSFS. Anyways, Sabach's add-on alters shaders within X-Plane. If you have this, you will need to fully uninstall this add-on, or re-install X-Plane fresh before using SkyMaxx Pro.

Is this on a second machine? I recall you saying you have 32-bit only. The uninstaller is nothing magical. It literally touches only new files, and never any X-Plane related files. This is the first time I've heard of anything even remotely close to this, so I'm baffled. I've just run install and uninstall at least 15 times now without issue. Go into your resources/plugins folder and remove SilverLining and Gizmo64.plugin. Best guess would be that since your uninstaller quit halfway through, some files did get deleted and X-Plane is hanging trying to find such files.

This happens based on when X-Plane decides to load new weather for a closer METAR location. The pause has ALWAYS been there in X-Plane, though it can be a bit more noticable with SkyMaxx Pro dependent on system because in SkyMaxx Pro no two clouds look alike, so X-Plane has to re-render the scene. In default X-Plane weather, the clouds are almost always, if not always, the same/alike, thus the load time to render that scene is much less time to calculate. We are going to look into this some, but I'm honestly unsure if we'll be able to work around it. This is just a limitation of X-Plane for the moment.

It's always been there, you just didn't realize it. This is CRJ related, not SkyMaxx. See further explanation here.

We have identified the issue and will be reporting how to work around this for users until there is a patch out. It will be a simple work around in the meantime.

Thanks for trying, Mat. Not sure what else to say here. We have an overwhelming amount of compliments coming in through emails and various forums, and we're trying our best to say thanks to these people who have been kind enough to take the time and write in. Hopefully in time we can satisfy you. I guess now is just not that time. Cheers!

Gizmo64 is a part of the SkyMaxx install and is required to work.

The shader for the clouds is different than that of X-Plane, thus the dusk colors are different. You are seeing correct behavior, and we have noted some folks do not like this so we will be looking into how far we can go with this within X-Plane's SDK functionality. Until further research I can't yet promise what will change here.As for FPS, we've seen a number of things improve it: 1. Some folks have found conflicting plug-ins or global related add-ons. Removing these and testing one by one, or making a second demo install to test has shown drastic FPS improvements in some systems. 2. It's necessary to spend time adjusting the SkyMaxx menu to find your sweet spot. See John's post right above mine here. 3. HDR is a heavy hitter out the gate. Run a test and see if you still get low FPS with it off vs on. Lower shadows or even AA setting to figure what may be the culprit in HDR mode, and if problems still persist go back to step 1.

Hey, Eddie, Welcome to X-Pilot...we're happy to have you here! Okay, so based on your description I would venture to guess you may be running an outdated version of X-Plane 10. ATL should definitely have buildings of the three you listed, so here's what you should do if you have not already.... 1. Download the X-Plane updater here. 2. Run the updater and get up to the latest version of X-Plane 10. Once this is done you should see some buildings at Atlanta. If you still do not see any, then you'll need to open up the rendering settings menu and verify that you have your objects turned up. Having these turned off will eliminate airport scenery from showing.

Suggests even more something is amiss in his install similar to that of Mitch.

This will not work. SkyMaxx will be disabled when this is done.

Hi, Jim, What's your texture resolution set to? Can you post a screenshot?

I'm sure you can run SkyMaxx at better than lowest settings, Tom, which would in turn be a considerable difference.

Sky colors look no different in HDR than they do in non-HDR. We include multiple sky set colors, and this includes big alternatives to the default orange you speak of.
