You're so keen to dish out advice, but not so keen to think before you type your initial gripes. I could go on and on about how YOU could have posted something in a much better manner of wording rather than tell us how easy it should be (when you clearly don't know what the limitations are). Marketing departments exist in the corporate world, and for good reason. You get one on one interaction here, but just as much as you're human, so are we. Use it wisely. That's the end of this topic.

The only thing rude in here is you asserting that something was programmed incorrectly or that you can't possibly understand a design choice...like, how dare we do that! You not liking cold, hard facts and viewing them as rude is your own issue in and of itself. In fact, in my post I ended it by specifically stating: "You do nice work, but we have to be practical and economical in approach." Hardly rude on my end.

You can't assume things you don't know. X-Plane itself is responsible for the rendering order. We can only do so much within those bounds. Complain to Laminar if you wish, but they'll basically tell you "Ya, we know, tough luck for now though." You have no idea how SkyMaxx Pro does scene rendering, so for you to assume something should be so easily done with regards to separating lens flare from clouds is not reality. And, in years and years of production, I think you're the first person I've heard even complain about this (probably because most people just fly instead of cinema). Our main concern is simmers first. You do nice work, but we have to be practical and economical in approach. Attempting to change something just for you even if you could would not be a smart or viable business decision!

Uh, what? He got it solved, and the answers are in this topic provided by me. Get off your high horse. Coming in here and hoping to have everything handed to you is not how this works. Forums exist for people to search and find the answer that's been posted a million times, including in this topic. Use the resources of this forum that we provide to you and your life is much easier, especially when the answers are already here and you don't need to wait for one of us to answer.

We don't lock machines. You locked your own machine. When you have too many machines/OS's activated, you are presented with a screen that states to de-activate one "forever". You are presented with the names you gave each machine, and the activation date of each one. When you select it, you then have to acknowledge that you are about to forever de-activate a machine you've selected by manually typing in all caps the word "FREEZE". You selected the machine. You locked it. We just allowed you to do your own selection, and that's the end of this story.

Glad you got it solved.

You need to re read the file location instructions.

You can easily help yourself by using the search function on these forums.

Maybe you should make some effort to actually search for your answer in this forum (the answer is here in numerous topics) rather than waste your time calling names.

The message received by the store, and the reason you receive that error, is because your bank is declining the transaction. You will need to contact them to figure out why.

You'll likely need to restart your machine after applying this setting for it to work.

This error is caused by large text pushing other info off of the installer screen. To fix this, please set your text size back down to 100% during install. You may learn to do this here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller

Then if that's what you thought you you should have offered it. I already helped him with a link to the answer.

It's very clear you did not follow the directions listed.

Please be diligent and read through the forums. This has been answered many times.

No.

Yes, just run the installer twice. One for each version.

Rolf, The windows program folder is probably just from the actual install program. In X-Plane the older SkyMaxx Pro would have been deleted and overwritten. You can verify this by opening the SkyMaxx Pro configuration screen when you have X-Plane running. It will tell you the SkyMaxx Pro version number running.

It will not work at all in X-Plane 11.

Ah! That explains the struggle. Thanks! We'll examine options to help out low vram users.

For my own technical info, what video card do you have?

Have you tried adjusting your reflection settings in X-Plane? Just curious if that makes a difference for you.

The HotFix system is code only, not objects, so the quick and dirty answer is "no".

Whoa! 2GB seems awfully low these days. Are you on a Mac or something? I guess that would make a little more sense. I'd have to agree, with 2GB as a whole you're really pushing the limits of X-Plane as it is.
