Skymax seems to cause a huge pause in xplane at start up, a few times xplane hasnt started. like this 0:05:57.847 I/ATC: Heading 0 6 0, vectors for the visual runway 30R, down to 4 thousand, 228 134. 0:06:00.174 G64: debug: MAXX: METAR dl complete: https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/cycles/08Z.TXT 0:06:00.174 G64: debug: MAXX: Writing METAR to: (G:/X-Plane 11 Beta/MAXX_METAR.rwx) 0:06:09.987 D/ATC: p=4 (N816NN): Fly Heading: 157 0:06:09.987 D/ATC: p=4 (N816NN): Maintain 3999ft 0:06:09.987 I/ATC: 737-800 6NN, Fly heading 1 5 0, vectors for the visual approach runway 30R, descend and maintain 4 thousand. SkyMaxx Pro: Found new MAXX_METAR.rwx file of size 2889150 SkyMaxx Pro: Parsing METAR data SkyMaxx Pro: METAR parsing took 130 ms. Think thats with Skymax on always

Ye im enjoying this too, especially in QLD where clouds ten to sit low on the hills, its a huge improvement

Another minor issue. When fist loading XPLANE it seems to grab the sim to download weather and thats fine, Better to have it done at beginning of flight, but I lost my internet, and if left in auto it simply pauses the sim every couple of minutes had to force it to use XPLANE weather, than it stopped. Thanks again.

On the ORG in the h11.5b9 topics its being discussed by multiple people.

@Gildahl this appears to be an xplane issue as it seems others have same issue using default and other clouds.

Saw teh previews looking good.

Wouldnt it just be easier to assign a slider or knob on your joystick to the breaks for when landing

IAS is for controlling vertical speed, the plane will change pitch to maintain the speed you set, this is common on a lot of planes

ID update to b3 it fixed a few bugs taht stopped payware from staring properly

Hi only issue I have seeing on latest ver, but im not so sure its SMP was when I turned on Gods Rays, I could see the sun though the Cockpit , had to tone it down to like 35 but it looks nice,, no FPS hit looked really good. Was flying the airfoil 110. Think its the first time ive used it ever.

Just did a 1 hr flight in overcast conditions, (its raining here) and not a singe fps drop, im happy fps better than 30

I think 9.1 may have fixed a crash i had thanks. working fine

I guess you missed the part where they mention its because vulcan doesnt have a way to do 3d cloud rendering, this is what will break the cloud drawing, They plan on sorting that out as soon as vulcan is implemented though I suspect its already in progress.

That could change, I have linux on all my laptops, hate windows Ten with a passion.

Thanks good to hear

I guess now that Vulcan is Nigh, I assume you have had a beta to play with. From laminar posts I see there may be some issues with cloud drawing...Bu we can wait till you see what you need to do. Thanks

I have some of carenados planes ,but without Thrandas input they are just pretty planes, and if you missed the discuss about the breakup, carenado just want output and he couldnt keep up with there demands, I hope it doesnt cause a drop in quality.

Having texture quality at max has being thoroughly discussed and does not benefit anyone, better off drooping it one notch, cant see anything else, Havnt had any issues with skmax on 11.4

Oh finally solved, it seems that C++2015 64bit redistribute went missing, i had to remove 2017 to reinstall it, all working again, teh error was mention on xplane website under xplane Q&A, And please note, there is a new 2015-2019 redistrubtal that replaces all version from 2015 and it works fine. Shows up at 2015-2019 Redistribtaul in programmes and features

Crazy, still havnt figured out whats going on. If i load an older copy of the plugin folder with the older SMP it loads fine, if i update SMP it wont work, if I delete all the plugins and let xplane replace the folder with clean install and no other plugins and install latest SMP it wont load. The only plugins that wont works Are SMP4.8.2, XJet from airfoil labs, and hangar OPS, same error - Error Code = 126 : The specified module could not be found. As you can see from all the plugins above the rest are fine even RWC. I do hope reinstalling SMP multiple times isnt going to cause an issue. Thanks

Going to update a backup copy of xplane I know works and see what happens

Seems Xplane isnt loading all XPL files, Just some not others, See attached. Posted bug report to laminar G:\X-Plane 11.4/Resources/plugins/HangarOps/64/win.xpl : Error Code = 126 : The specified module could not be found. loads rwc fine Loaded: G:\X-Plane 11.4/Resources/plugins/RealWeatherConnector/64/win.xpl (Sundog.MetarBridge).

Hi I noticed something odd in my weather, so i checked to see if SPM was in the plugins drop down and it was missing, so I reinstalled, but it is still not showing up. It is installed in the correct folder, see pics but xplane cant find it. See error form log. Seems the last time it worked was in June from the Max-Metar file date. And yes my whole xplane folder is excluded with antivirus. G:\X-Plane 11.4/Resources/plugins/SilverLining/64/win.xpl : Error Code = 126 : The specified module could not be found.

Actually i think it is the ATC guiding arrows
