I have to wonder if this is overload with that GPU and CPU. How much VRAM is in that GPU? Can you remove all plugins except Gizmo and SilverLining as a test?

Correct!

Yes.

Understood! There's no better time than now! (semi joking)

Glad you got it sorted!

I'm mobile today, so sigs don't show. I'll be looking into this for you over the next day. Thanks!

We do not plan 32-bit, but please do further explain your need for 32-bit. Ears are open!

Hi, Can you tell us more about your computer setup please? Thanks!

Run the X-Plane updater.

Use the user interface to tone these down to your liking! X-Plane controls where clouds appear, not SkyMaxx Pro. It simply renders nicer clouds where X-Plane tells it to. Should not cause an issue.

Tbh, those fps worry me. Add a custom airport and what happens? 33 fps on a bare runway, outside the 3d pit...... Sounded too good to be true anyway, again. This is precisely why the test was conducted in an area with a massive amount of objects. The autogen, trees, and roads were set to extreme for good reason, and show a case of settings most people do not even use. As SkyMaxx relies more on CPU to do its job rather than GPU, I don't see much an issue for concern as you bring up.

Shane, Those lines in the log are perfectly normal. If this is the very latest version of XSB then it's possible they still have some sorting out to do. Most people I have seen appear to have their issues solved in the latest build of XSB though. Did you try this without the JAR aircraft as well?

The work in progress section has a thread with information on this. John likes to call it the grey screen of death, and it has been adjusted in this product to not do this.

The problem appears to be an issue with perhaps some DLL files trying to load in 64bit as 32bit. It may be that your computer is missing what it's looking for. Please check your PM box to handle this further.

I understand, dron420, but we have absolutely no interest or even a thought at this point for 32-bit support. I do apologize for the inconvenience!

That's a receipt, and not what I was looking for. Please re-read my reply.

Technically shader tweaking is not condoned by Laminar and is considered a very unsafe move in a commercial product. We'll need to work out a more fail safe measure than this (or Laminar will, anyhow). Thanks for the compliments though!

For starters, there's absolutely no activation of this product under your account. Can you please post the log.txt file in your X-Plane folder?

Sounds like some form of permissions error on your system. Glad you got it sorted, even if in a roundabout way!

IVAO really needs to get with the times. I have to be entirely honest with you though...in the last year of us releasing 64-bit addons I never once recall any customer complaining they could not use our products with IVAO. On the contrary, they were very, very vocal about XSB and VATSIM support. Given you are the first person I can recollect about this, I cannot agree with your assessment that there are as many holdbacks due to IVAO as you think.

One Gizmo for all add-ons. Yes, the Saab is compatible.

Well this has been very interesting... Our server came under very high load in the last hour for which appears to be an attempt at an attack. Our security measures in place on the server disabled services to prevent further attempts, and then restarted service. We monitored the situation as load became very high yet again (typical load averages 1 to 2), and reached above 40. The ip address connected to this high load 'attack' leads straight back to dpny, the original poster of this topic. To put this in shorter words, this got caught as a small-scale denial-of-service attack. Other than the interaction in this very topic, there has been no other correspondence with dpny. I question motives at this point. Needless to say, dpny has been banned.

Thanks, Don. I was not aware that the bus speeds were limited in your configuration, which makes this a bit more believable for me then, and thus your performance is not typical for what an average windows user would experience vs your boot camp config. None the less, definitely interested in the extra data point!

So I have just loaded up sim with following settings: CPU: i5 2500k GPU: GTX 680 4GB Resolution: 1920x1080 Trees, objects, and roads on full setting (extreme) Shadow set to overlay Atmospheric scattering to on Per Pixel to on HDR on 4x SSAA + FXAA 8x Anisotropc With the above settings and SkyMaxx at default settings I am at a consistent 24 fps With the above settings and the only thing changed was Rays turned off, I am at a consistent 33 fps I don't really consider the 670 to be a slouch compared to my 680, so I'm a little confused by your performance here.... For those of you curious, attached is an image showing the FPS with HDR and SkyMaxx on with settings as listed above... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/948823/Baron_58_1.png

I was more curious if it made a difference. I was not suggesting you run it with HDR off. I caught that and edited prior to your post, but I don't think you caught it. What monitor resolution?
