Hello All,
This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 4.9.4 update for SkyMaxx Pro. All customers who have purchased SkyMaxx Pro v4 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 v4 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 4.9.4 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-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php
2. Find your original SkyMaxx Pro v4 download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version!
This release has experimental support for Vulkan if you are a Windows user. For Mac users, please be aware Metal is not supported. You may still enjoy this v4.9.4 update when running X-Plane in OpenGL mode. You may read why here.
The following is a list of additions/fixes included:
What's New / Changed:
Improved cumulonimbus and towering cumulus cloud models. Check them out!
VR improvements in X-Plane 11.50+
Better random selection of thunderstorm clouds
Tightly integrated support for ASXP when RWC in use.
Set Real Weather Connector option to "FSGRW / ASXP / External Injector". When using Active Sky XP, be sure to configure X-Plane as described in the ASXP documentation. In the ASXP application, under Options / Simulator Depiction options, you should find a “Use SkyMaxx Pro depiction mode” option in recent versions of ASXP. Be sure this is enabled. Weather in X-Plane should be set to “from custom METAR (rwx) file” pointing to the METAR.rwx file, not “match real world conditions,” when using ASXP. You should not use ASXP’s “global static” mode with SkyMaxx Pro.
As always, thanks for purchasing from X-Aviation!
