@Motosuwa Than YOU! Your help was greatly appreciated!

I hear you. Just letting you know what others are saying. We're on day one here, and quite known to do updates. Whatever we can gather and find we will. I'm off to have a chat with XPRealistic now. Thanks to all for helping us out!

See reply above.

@simnut we have now had over ten people confirm this. We just have to face realities and try to work on it from here.

@sundog will know best on that one. Does your FPS go up? Now getting numerous reports that disabling it DOES go up. If so, I'll be contacting the developer to get him a copy of SMP 5 and see what we can do to resolve this. Just need more confirmations.

Haha! I get you have your preferences. Right now we're just narrowing down who we need to talk to to fix this.

Can you corroborate @OuterMarker @Motosuwa?

We'll certainly take a look at this! It may not be an issue on our end though. We'll certainly reach out to the developer.

@Motosuwa, Thanks much! Please do as I described one post up as well. Pain in the butt, I know.

Okay, we're getting somewhere! That tells me this is not related to aircraft at least. Unfortunately the only way to narrow this down will be to move plugins one at a time from the _bak folder to the new plugins folder. I would love to know what the culprit is here, and really appreciate your time!

@Fab10, Thanks for the report! Can you please try the same with a default aircraft in the cockpit? Like the Cirrus Jet.

All great information, guys. Thanks! @Motosuwa and @OuterMarker, While we test, can you both do me a favor here? Let's rename your plugins folder to plugins_bak, then create a new folder called 'plugins'. Move SilverLining and Gizmo64.plugin from plugins_bak to plugins. Now start X-Plane. Does this in any way improve the situation? Can you both also tell me which version of Gizmo you opted for?

Hi, yes. I'm not saying this is permanent. We're on day one here and I don't know what in ASXP was causing to flip out. Mind you, this was on ONE machine. While we diagnose, I just need to make sure we gather common problems and get this all noted. Can you please try without ASXP active/on at all?

@Motosuwa @OuterMarker To confirm, you selected the options in BOTH the overcast and cumulus texture selection windows, then applied, correct? Just want to make sure I have the points right so we can get to work on trouble shooting this. In these situations, your perf should be like that of SMP v4.

I actually just had a report of this same situation. The culprit in the moment seemed to be ASXP for some reason.

Can you go into your SkyMaxx Pro settings and switch the volumetric option to something like 'fast' in the cumulus and overcast texture selection menus? Does it actually cause a difference in this case?

That's strange! Can both of you provide us with your X-Plane rendering setting options (screenshots), as well as what GPU's you're running?

I wonder if this is playing a role. For test purposes, can you lower this? Also, are you by chance using ASXP or FSGRW?

Firstly, no. You can simply change the cloud types in the SMP v5 settings. You do not need to go back to v4. Secondly, I'd like to understand more about your system. 40 to 4 in Vulkan, but only down to 22 in OpenGL seems...weird. What are your X-Plane rendering settings and SkyMaxx Pro settings?

@manidep271 I can't find an account with your forum e-mail, so you'll need to contact support@x-aviation.com @fog You unsubscribed from our e-mails in 2017. This would be the cause there.

SkyMaxx Pro v5 has been released! That brings this thread to a close. Enjoy!

Hi @julian1992, In this situation you would buy both, and in the Real Weather settings of SkyMaxx Pro, select ASXP (this option is only present with Real Weather Connector installed).

Prior to release you will receive a discount code to utilize during checkout and receive your upgrade price. Things get easily passed up when they're not common, and we believed we had this one potentially buttoned up. It's been quite a while, so I don't think any of us really remembered it since. And, at this point we're "here", so is what it is. I'm certainly not going to spend time trying to argue your other points out given what I've just said. The only thing I have to add is, while we DO care about VR (very evident by the continued commitment), it is a very small sliver of the market and that's not lost on me in comparison to other busy dev work going on. Each flight I did utilized real weather. Go figure that others were not represented in these winter months of flying in the USA, but my primary focus was volumetric 3D GPU ray-casting and showing airliners at higher altitudes. SkyMaxx v5 retains old cloud types, including Cirrus, Cumulus, Stratus, Cumulonimbus and Towering Cumulus. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your past loyalty. Since you've been around from v2, this process should feel familiar. The 60 day window has always been a thing over the years. That's no different here, and while it's not going to change, I still appreciate you taking the time to reply.

That error is related to you installing Catalina since installing RWC. Catalina cannot run 32-bit apps, which the old uninstaller is. Simply delete the Real Weather Connector uninstaller file located in X-Plane/X-Aviation.
