Quite alright for you. Maybe not so much for others.

Gosh dang you're weird, man. That was the most unprofessional posting I've ever seen from a commercial X-Plane developer.. For those unaware, this is Vasiliy Stas, the owner of Blue Sky Star Simulations...the guy who makes sound packs for JAR, CRJ-200, etc. I would consider twice with an attitude like this. I'm going to guess the fact that xEnviro is a Russian project and he is also a Russian that this SkyMaxx Pro 4 somehow hits a sore note for him. Public Announcement: He has been banned. I have no idea what provoked this awkward behavior, but oh well.

I fly about 4 days a week, have two eyes, and know how to see. I'd say the answer to that is a resounding "yes." This part of your post, and the part I just responded to above, make no sense to me as to why you said them in the first place. But, one more post like it with your -12 reputation on this forum will get you banned. Evidently most the people here don't agree with what you post in these forums either. I'm sure xEnviro has the potential to be a neat product. I know nothing about it, and likely never will. Right now it means nothing to me until it's released. Your comment of "last breath" implies I would be scared by this product, but to be honest with you, their less than 100 followers on Facebook and nothing on market does not exactly have me feeling worried in the least. They need to prove themselves first.

It's quite possible, but for now we won't make promises for the unforseen potential of bugs in testing.

Honestly, it's more about a lot for nothing. If you're happy with how X-Plane is running with SkyMaxx then the point of this is negated. It's more a warning than a necessity. It's obvious there's some conflict in your hardware, but it's not worth pursuing further.

Do you have a firewall active on your machine?

This would actually more or less require custom gauges in aircraft, similar to how it's being done in the P3D and FSX world right now.

Hi Pete, Yes, X-Aviation will be selling the DVDs of version 11.

This topic is not the place for that.

Thanks, Tom.

Na, typical Knudsen stuff. Trying to pick a fight or say something lame to wind people up. Not going to happen in this thread. Had to do with how evil and deceiving we are, naturally.

It's gone because that kind of controversy ain't gonna happen in this thread. Think before you speak, please.

We'll do it later, but as stated, performance is faster than in v3 even with the increased draw. Like, by quite a bit.

I think we'll let X-Plane 11's new atmospheric lighting work it's magic and do that for us. No need to re-invent the wheel.

No sir.

In the situation you have just explained you would have wanted something like dense particles activated and higher cloud detail. We did internal tests during the hurricane and the results were quite awesome. Sounds like you didn't have these settings properly set at the time. As for winds, we do not touch those, X-Plane does.

I understand the relevance to you. This does not takeaway from the age of the thread.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. Upset supporters how? SkyMaxx Pro is $39.95. People in the sale got 50% off. Those same people will now get 50% off of SkyMaxx Pro 4. That means the price is effectively the same as buying SkyMaxx Pro 4 on release day if you never took advantage of the sale or never had SkyMaxx Pro to begin with. I can't say I find anything upsetting about this at all.

Please be conscious of resurrecting quite old threads in the future.

This really is not a thread for support, sir. Start one in the RWC forum if you feel the need.

Exactly what was said to you before... http://forums.x-pilot.com/forums/topic/11722-smp-setup-fails-to-extract/?do=findComment&comment=112092 This all comes down to Sierra and has nothing to do with copy protection.

Yes, it will.

It was already fixed and addressed with the latest version of RWC and the 'Never' option getting added.

Captains, It is with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement that I get the opportunity to announce SkyMaxx Pro v4.0 to you today! A few people have speculated out there on whether we were announcing the next version soon, or what may be in it, and today we can tell you a whole lot more! Without question, SkyMaxx Pro v4 is going to be our most exciting of the SkyMaxx Pro series to date. The features it brings to the X-Plane experience are pretty awesome, so without further ado, the feature list for SkyMaxx Pro v4 is as follows (a preview video will follow soon): - Double your maximum cloud draw area! Big performance improvements allow clouds to be drawn across an area up to 320 km across surrounding your plane. Go ahead and crank up SMP's cloud draw area setting and achieve fast, realistic scenes at FL300 and above. - Did we mention big performance improvements? SMP4 is faster than ever. - New 3D precipitation system that represents rain, sleet, wet snow, and dry snow - as well as mixed precipitation that responds automatically to the ambient temperature. Precipitation is even lit by your landing lights! And an whole new precipitation control panel lets you tweak its appearance to your own liking. - Precipitation is tied to individual clouds in SMP4. Rain will start and stop realistically as you fly underneath or through the clouds. - All-new "HD Cloud Puffs" overcast representation! Fly through large, thick overcast layers built from real HD cloud photos, without killing your framerate. Overcast clouds have never looked so good from above and below. - Higher-resolution scattered and broken cumulus clouds, with twice the resolution as SMP3. - Cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds now move realistically relative to your plane's motion. - Works better than ever with Real Weather Connector: more accurate representations of ground fog, thunderstorm placement, and stratus/overcast cloud placement when used with RWC. - Adjusts lighting on distant cloud puffs at night ...and a few more unannounced features yet to come! Screenshots (Click to see large view): Showing the new, doubled maximum cloud draw distance (both images above 30,000 ft) with the new overcast! The all-new SkyMaxx Pro Precipitation Settings Window and showing off some SkyMaxx Pro 3D snow getting lit up by aircraft lights! As explained above, SkyMaxx Pro now has 3D rain, sleet, wet & dry snow! Showing the new HD Clouds Some 3D rain effects shown. Precipitation stops if you are not under a cloud! Showing some gorgeous clouds generated by SkyMaxx Pro 4 as we coast into the sunset. We're excited to show you more! Information on upgrade eligibility: SkyMaxx Pro v4 will be a paid upgrade for all current SkyMaxx Pro v3 owners. Those of you who qualify will receive a 50% off ($19.95 instead of $39.95) upgrade discount which will be valid for 60 days from the time SkyMaxx Pro v4 goes on sale. After this, the product will go to full price for all customers. Information on release: SkyMaxx Pro v4 will be released in as short order as possible. We currently have a beta team being assembled and about to go through Release Candidate builds. Once that is done it's on to packaging and release. We will keep everyone updated as we get closer to the release. It would be safe to say you can see SkyMaxx Pro v4 hit the store this USA holiday season! X-Plane 10 & 11: We will support both X-Plane 10 and 11. There will not be a separate cost for these products. If you purchase SkyMaxx Pro v4 you are assured compatibility with both (keep in mind if adjustments need to be made for X-Plane 11 it may not work on day one, but it will be as quickly as possible after as we will have early access copies to work with. Therefore, it is possible we have SkyMaxx Pro working on the first day of release for X-Plane 11 as well should changes really be necessary). Thanks to everyone for their continued support in this amazing product! See you in the skies!

Well, by twisting the power button (c) on the GPS to on.
