It’s intentional, the Hosek-Wilkie model uses its own sun and moon and we upload a transparent file to hide the x-plane default.... If you change sky colors you will need to restart X-Plane....

The folder structure has changed in v5, those options are procedurally drawn so no need for an image file....

Setting the texture quality down a few notches or installing TM without the normal maps should speed this up. From a hardware standpoint, using an ssd will help... But if you are looking for something more instant I’m afraid our approach can do only so much since it’s loading a ton of textures during a change...

Definitely knock your AA down a notch or two....Give it a go and see what happens

OK give it a try and let me know: @FlyAgi http://maxx-xp.com/urbanmaxx-v3-tm

Give me some time I’ll investigate this

Very nice shots! I am very happy you are getting the most outta V5!

@Cameron 1st

We need a whole lot more to go on here, log.txt is a good start....

5.0.1 is causing this we have a fix expect it soon....

I think what you are seeing there are the crepuscular rays bleeding into the cockpit. I would try turning that effect down and see if the problem persists.

These options will still be available for the original cloud types, that are still available... The new volumetric clouds will not have these options since they are procedurally drawn and not based on art assets...

@Cameron kissy kissy

I appreciate the feedback from both of you, I will say the title is a bit off putting.... The hobby we all enjoy that is flight simming is a very complex ecosystem with a ton of variables at play. Instead of trying to address your specific concerns and offer specific help without any information in regards to your specific “ecosystems” I’m going advise you take a look and manage expectations. We have a huge amount of active and happy users who have properly managed their expectations. In conclusion I do appreciate your support and as you know we’ve continued to grow and advance with the platform over the years. My hope is you take another deep look and find a balance and find enjoyment with our offering.

Look at this rabbit hole we fell into.... wow!

We always strive to keep things 100% but we are currently limited. Who knows what will happen in the future.... As annoyed as you are, enjoy the increased performance under Vulcan...

It appears real world weather from X-Plane is showing clear conditions are you sure you have download real world weather enabled?

Unfortunately no, we do not have the ability to run under Metal....

Change your windows font to 100% reboot and retry

Sounds like beta messes it should be reported to LR and we will look into on our end too.....

You can run the updater fro X-Plane and it will place that file back in..... We do not remove anything, either it was manually removed or the file became corrupt. I’ve seen this occasionally when a hard drive sector goes kaput....

Congratulations!

@Goran_M Just an FYI and I really hope the community slams me for this.... Reading his post reinforces how utterly stupid some people are. I mean really really stupid, like his gene pool originates from the New York sewer stupid. Not even worthy of a reply stupid.... Ill also add My IQ has decreased upon reading it....

It should soon hang tight

I can get behind that especially in regards to our collaboration with FSGRW and HiFi. The biggest challenge has been trying to explain how we’ve gotten past the 3 layer limit in X-Plane and the various cloud types that are available if you use the above mentioned weather injectors.....
