thank you for answering so fast I'm about to install SoundMaxx 1.0 now and if I see an issue I can report it

I have one question to this announcement Integration with SoundMaxx - Lightning effects in SkyMaxx Pro 4 will trigger 3D positional thunder sound effects when SoundMaxx is installed Is SoundMaxx ready to work with SMP4 in X-Plane 10 and 11 or does it need an update for X-Plane 11? I have everything but I want to ask before installing SoundMaxx 1.0 into X-Plane 11? best regards, Carsten

Yesterday I was flying the same route again, just to try to end this flight, and once more I had this frame drop after 01:30 to 02:00 hours. I use this high "Cloud Area Covered" setting to to take use of the features the Real Weather Connector brings at all. Someone of another X-Plane forum wrote me, that he knows the problem and all I should do is simply open the SkyMaxx Confirguration and change anything, so that the clouds will reload. This can't be a solution forever, but I did that, though I used the button, that's below to reset the whole configuration as Frank from Sundog Software suggested - that helped me getting fps back immediately. I will repeat this flight today but this time with standard configuration from the beginning. I will load the weather condition from yesterday using FS Global Real Weather to stay comparable. thanks for trying to find the reason for this behavior Carsten

I also have this issue and I am happy that I am not the only one. When flying from PAJN to KPDX I started with 30-50 FPS after 2 hours of flying they were dropping to just 5-15 FPS and further to steady not more than 5 FPS. I bought a new GTX1070 graphics card one week ago and just have the latest NVIDIA drivers 368.81. SkyMaxx showed 3-4GB of unused VRAM and around 8GB of unused RAM till the end, so this can't be a reason. I streamed my flight (resolution isn't that good, because I have a bad upload-bandwidth, but you can see the FPS). I stopped streaming before the FPS droped to single digits, to be sure that this isn't a streaming releated issue - nothing changed when I stopped streaming. This issue is reproducible - I couldn't end a lot of flights because of this fps problem the last days. here is my stream - you can see how FPS changed at the end - but remember it goes further down, but wasn't recorded https://www.twitch.tv/wingmandino/v/78391525 It would be great, if you could find the reason and solve it. Thank you very much. Carsten my settings i7 3770 @4,2 GHz 16 GB RAM NVidia GTX1070 with 8 GB RAM X-Plane 10.50 beta 5-7 with HD Mesh V3

When I see your rendering settings and the shadow setting and 4xSSAA, I just can say WOW, because your FPS-value is awesome!

I'm also very interested in a preview video to hear the new sounds. Thank you so much for enhancing X-Plane!

Thank you for this information. I also wondered why I had to activate some addons from time to time. Now I know it is the six month license check. Carsten

Just want to ask - are there any news about the Crew & Pax plugin? It would be great to have something for this part in simulation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHw0RbiCkXY greetings, Carsten
