2 great freeware fighters in one week! Sorry rleendertz.....

OpenGL programming........

Last set I swear.........

I wonder about the new particle system coming in 10.30

Honestly no, not with the winds in X-Plane anyway. Wind is simulated in only one direction per layer, and turbulence is a random algorithm. To make tornados happen you would need to program a custom solution. One approach would be to have a custom "tornado" object which appears under certain weather conditions in random.... In order to simulate them realistically you will need a super computer with the latest weather simulation, even then it still might be difficult..... The first approach ,with the right programming, could look very convincing.......

Wind is still bound to the cloud layers........if you are manually setting up a wind layer make sure it is within the cloud layer to see them move and morph...... i.e. make sure the wind is at the appropriate altitude.......

Mike to be 100% clear cloud shadows will not work with SkyMAXX........Everything else involved with the FlyLUA work fine as far as I know.......

Actually sir if someone replicated a Ford at their own assembly line it is piracy..... This isn't an improvement on an existing concept it is a blatant rip off.......

I got inspired and fired up the sim to produce a few more SS's

The afterburner effects are really bad a$$!

Would you say you support piracy? Blu FX simulates the MAXX FX Experience right down to the themes, this is piracy plain and simple..... Ill be honest with you I am not afraid of competition, its good for the health of my products, but this is an attempt to undermine our efforts and not an effort by someone who wants to help extend X-Plane..... If all I wanted from X-Plane was to fly GA aircraft you are saying I shouldn't have to pay for it since it does much more than that?

Those rays....hehehe

Thanks Carlos! Stop that will ya! Remember you winning a contest on flightsim.com? Its not about hardware but how you use it

More fun!

Thanks again Nano, this will help us pinpoint the problem....

As always I enjoy your style....

Quality

Ooooooooo thanks for posting this Huey! I may have a new favorite fighter jet...

Thank you Nano for looking into it further, can you provide some error logs when a crash occurs, this can help us pinpoint the issue for you

Cloud shadows are not going to happen anytime soon, there is a limitation in the X-Plane SDK right now.... Who knows what the future will bring, obviously we would love to bring Trition into XPX, we are breaking new ground and a lot of help will have to come from Laminar to make these things a reality....

I think its a huge effort, many have already contributed to this cause..... Some sort of repository with the sole purpose of brining accurate skylines to X-Plane should be created in my opinion... 2 cents deposited.....

We are focused on getting SkyMAXX updated for X-Plane at the moment but who knows where this journey will take us On our initial roll out in HDR mode SkyMAXX drew clouds twice plus there were some ugly lighting issues, this made performance very poor in HDR mode we fixed it with Version 1.1. I decided to change a few textures in the V1.2 update in an attempt to make the clouds seem more detailed, in hindsight I think this made the clouds seem less volumetric. We are going to be releasing a minor update soon that brings back the more volumetric look in the clouds:

Nah im tired.....Ill talk about it later.....

Hey guys just want to pop in and say a fantastic effort so far, rememeber the community gets to vote on these images so its a fair game! Keep the submissions rolling....... NOTE: I dont mind the conversations, keep them up, but after awhile Im deleting some of them just to keep the thread full of screenshots

I dont feel attacked Valintin and I am concerned with feedback from the community, I responded to the OP's concerns with insite on what we are working on to show how organic SkyMAXX is. You responded with REX, as if I am not aware of REX. Your reply to my images were negative, you dont have to be in love with them but asking a few questions as to whats going on would of warrented a conversation from my side. Some answers you may have had about the images could of possibly been answered with thoughtful conversation along with answers to our future goals..... Instead you went ahead and decided to state that the images do not look any different when they obviously are, now Im more focused on replying to your antics versus discussing SkyMAXX and our future plans.... To be fair Valintin, this happens often in the community and maybe this is why my participation isn't as frequent as it use to be. Nobody wants to join a conversation and always be in a defensive stance..... Maybe I do feel a tiny bit attacked now that I think about it.....
