I do not have that file available, sorry. I just happened to have the old component files the installer needs to run, so I replaced them on the server.
-
Hi, I have re-instated the 4.9.2 files on the server. If you have the 4.9.2 installer you should now be able to successfully get it installed to test your theory.

Directly from the FSGRW product page: In short, yes, you are gaining quite a bit more by having FSGRW present!

If what you're wondering is can you edit the colors, the answer is no. It's not something you can "edit". John simply rid of some artifacts that were present in some TGA files.

SkyMaxx Pro v4.9.3 has been released and is a free update for all current v4 customers. Included in this update is numerous Vulkan fixes, as well as newly refined lighting on clouds. There have also been some cloud texture refinements to fix some artifacts. You can read more about the update here in the forums!

Glad you enjoy it! We like it too.

I think I need to respectfully disagree here. It made sense for SkyMaxx Pro. Not much is going to change in its implementation. However, when it comes to aircraft development, I would have to argue that developers' are doing themselves right by waiting. Laminar has A LOT of moving parts right now and things are changing daily on the rendering side of aircraft, and to some extent, scenery texture paging. Chasing bugs for aircraft developers in a beta that is ever-changing is basically like asking for a sunburn on purpose out of pure enjoyment; not fun.

http://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/17733-strange-cloud-bloom-effect-1150b6/?do=findComment&comment=149247 Evidently you already read that and "liked" it. Did you already forget?

But to answer you directly, no, it has nothing to do with datarefs and is a source code change on our end in the interim until Laminar changes THEIR source code.

Leading Edge Simulations Announces DC-3 v2
Cameron posted a X-Plane flight sim news article in Aircraft
Leading Edge Simulations has officially announced the Douglas DC-3 v2 update is in the works. This update will be a realistic representation of the existing v1 DC-3 many customers have come to love. The entire 3D model and textures have been re-vamped, FMOD is being introduced, a much deeper systems simulation, all-new UI, and more is coming. To see all the details be sure to see the topic here at X-Pilot! -

Be aware that SkyMaxx Pro simulates moon position and light. If the moon is providing enough light, you should not expect things to be pitch black.

I'm only pointing out that this would not be game changing. At the end of the day music is something you can listen to running Spotify in the background.
-
Activation questions are only answered in support tickets. Our policy is within a 3 day window. You made a ticket 2 hours ago.
-
Not really. It might let you press play and stop in sim. But a game changer? You can already play spotify in the background.

We have tested and ran Vulkan and Metal and indicated no issue. I personally did extensive testing. Things change when people have so many plugins and add-ons added to it, and with Vulkan/Metal being SO new Laminar is making rapid changes that will undoubtedly affect harmonious environments. Waiting till after 11.50 is final is definitely the only way to go from our side when it comes to any potential (if needed) changes.
-
And to follow on what Frank has said, Laminar has now confirmed this as their bug and it will be fixed in the next X-Plane build. In the meantime, we have created a temporary workaround that should be released soon on our end.

Can I get a invite for the hot start discord

You're really going to hate this discussion if you keep it up. You need to STOP running to absolutely dumb conclusions. Let me break this down for you REALLY quick: We have sold thousands of this product. It is very highly regarded in the community. If this problem were real or even close to dire as you state, you would NOT be essentially alone in complaining such words in here. There is something wrong on your end, somewhere. This product has been in the wild and actively updated since 2013. Stop the drama. NOW. Allow those to help you who are willing and leave the assumptions and attitude at the door.

Cool it. We aren't going to play arguing games with you here.

Directly from the Real Weather Connector Manual: The other setting is “Never Change Visible Weather”. This prevents the clouds around you from changing even if updated weather conditions for your location are received. Instead, new weather conditions will only be reflected in new areas that you fly into. This creates a more seamless experience when weather is updated. However, if having the most recent weather conditions reflected in what you see is more important to you, you can un-check this option. When this option is disabled, the clouds around you will fade out and new clouds will fade in if new weather conditions for the world are received. If “Never Change Visible Weather” is enabled, the clouds around you won’t change even if you manually download a new METAR file through X-Plane’s weather screen. If this is something you do prior to a flight, be sure to download your weather before setting your location.

We'll likely have another update out in the next week or so.

This cockpit is not big. If you had a hard time finding the magnetos in the ultra small overhead, perhaps you should learn without VR so you can read text and familiarize first. Aside from that, indeed, it sounds like this product is not activated and Gizmo may not be running.
