Hi, I'm having the same issue too. I purchased the plane only last week thinking it was Vulkan enabled as advertised. Please can you provide the newer update for me too. Cheers Lee

I'll post the log tonight once I've witnessed the issue again. Thanks

Hi, I have experienced an issue with Skymaxx Pro 3.1.2 and RWC, what happens is at first it works perfectly fine with the ability to check and change the Skymaxx settings however after about an hour in flight the settings no longer work. When I click the Skymaxx settings, the settings window doesn't open leaving me unable to view or change them. The sim continues to work perfectly fine and so does Skymaxx Pro and RWC other than no option to change the settings. is there anything I can do to fix this? Cheers Lee

Looking forward to this, many thanks for the update

Can't wait to try this out, thanks

Can't wait

I'm really looking forward to this upgrade, I'd pay for it now if you accepted preorders. The question is when is it being released? I'm also interested in knowing if I can continue using Real Terra Haze or will SMP3 have its own engine to deliver the RTH effects? I'd also like to thank the developers for offering a discount, there are so many developers out there that want full price for every iteration of their products. Thanks Lee

I'll have to post a picture to demonstrate my performance. I can honestly say it does what i stated, the new iMac is very good. I've calmed down now from this morning and wish everyone and this product a healthy future. To try and prevent further posts or ill feeling, can this thread be closed and removed? Cheers lee

Thanks Ben, I appreciate your feedback, I like the product, I'm just disappointed at the moment. Im really looking forward to the update and understand the time constraints. All, let me apologise again, it's easy to come across harsh in text when in person it would be a different matter. Coupled with a frustration the situation is worse. If I have written words or paragraphs above that you consider an attack at the product then I'm very sorry for this. I want this too work, it looks amazing when it does, it wouldn't be so bad if the stutters went or the fluctuations in frame rate. I can accept a drop in a few FPS for the extra visuals but at the moment it's on the shelf until improvements are made. Kind Regards Lee

It's just how I interpreted it. I now understand it means providing you have the same setting as the testers and have the same system set up you will see an improved frame rate over default clouds. From this it sounds like I'll never achieve an improved frame rate then?

"In fact, most of our test team showed that when running default X-Plane 10 clouds vs. SkyMaxx Pro clouds, SkyMaxx Pro had better frame rates over the default X-Plane 10 clouds!" BTW: This reads to me that Skymaxx has an improved Frame Rate over Default Clouds.

Guys, I'm a very frustrated customer who has spent money on a product, if it's not working for me, then I'm entiltiled to blow off some steam in a support forum for the product. I actually gave this a very good review on the product web page so I'm not trying to bad mouth the enhancement. Your correct £40 isn't that much, but it's still hard earned money! As too was the purchase on my new iMac. I apologise for the original post, I was expecting the customer services team to support me and try and work out a solution. If I bought a ripped new sofa, I'd be pretty annoyed and would for certain go into the shop and have a good go at them! nothing personal, it's just what most people would do, I'm not after a refund, I need support or an update. You buy a product, if it's faulty or doesn't appear (it may be my settings?) to work as intended then they should then try and support me to fix the issue, the point is, I don't believe there is anything they can do to improve my experience without an update, I have tried every conceivable setting over the past week with no improvement. I was just letting off some steam. Please accept my apologies. Lee

I've uninstalled Skymaxx Details...... Before Skymaxx, I ran X-plane on very high settings with default clouds:- Texture Res - Extreme Res - Highest res on iMac 27" HDR - Off Pixel lights - On Gritty Textures - On Buildings - Tons Trees - Sparse AA - off Anisotropic - 8x World Detail - High Airport Detail - Extreme Cloud Puffs - 100% iMac 27" (Late 2013) 3.5ghz i7 8Gb Ram 1Tb Fusion Drive GTX780MX 4Gb video card X-Plane 10 Global With the settings and system above, I can run X-Plane at 25+ FPS without fail. No stutters, weather updates are smooth, nice transition between cloud layers and distant clouds. When I install Skymaxx, the FPS is wild, it goes from 2FPS upto 19 FPS, Stutters and practically stops the sim on updates. I have everything on the Skymaxx set to the lowest possible setting i.e off or far to the left sliders or number 1 option. On the website, it clearly says there is an improvement in frame rates above default setting, I've not seen this anywhere in my experience and if that means lowering my sim settings then yes you will get better frame rates much like the default would. I have to say, Skymaxx Pro is broke, looking foward to an urgent update. Seems harsh I know but I'm sick of developers selling products that don't work as advertised and expect customers to use there hard earned money to fund the beta testing and future development. Why state it increases frame rates when it doesn't, quite the opposite and it's not just me either having searched the forums is various places. I've read there is a memory leak in the program, it may explain the problems people are having, these are fundamental problems that should be eliminated before it is sold, it's old school that ensuring memory leaks are plugged. I wouldn't buy a car with a leaking fuel tank, that's what I've done here. It's not on, customers expect better than this. I want to give the developers a chance to rectify this, fix the memory leak, improve the FPS and transition updates and work towards a better product, it after all is very good at representing the sky, some spectacular views but I'm very disappointed with my purchase so far. You have got to get an update out ASAP. Cheers Lee

Hi Japo32, Just thought i'd let you know that i've just purchased the Javelin via your website and Paypal. I'm looking forward to receiving it via email. Kind Regards Lee
