same here. Especially when rendering a "new layer" the fps go down to 0 and you can just correct it by changing the view and back to cockpit.

Language-Barrier-Alert What I meant is when you buy a tyre for a car that is worth 20000 $, the tires dont cost 60 % of 20000. Although you need them to drive. Don´t get me wrong at this point. Skymaxx Pro is an enhancement for x-plane, no question. But I am not sure If I will pay again 40 $ for it.

Well, I just want to say my 2 cents here: 40 $ is pretty expensive for a "sky enhancement" (since the whole product x-plane is "just" 60 $), and to be honest Skies and Clouds are just a small part of the sim. Single planes cost up to 80 $ and most of them are not worth the price. Some airports cost 30 $, and to be honest, "just" for flying there 3 times a week its too expensive. But hey, I also bought my home-airport for 29 $. So for the 40 $ I expected something magic, revolutionary stuff, and got good looking clouds with transition problems and small stutters. So well - my thoughts are: OK, it was not worth 40 $. Money is gone, but on the other hand I know pretty good how things can develop and that its almost not possible for the developers to test the software on all available combinations of hardware, nor knowing how dumb some customers are setting all sliders to max while having a hardware thats older than me. It would be a bigger problem if the developers stop there support and stop doing updates. But hey, they are working on it. So come on - next time 20 $ and everything is ok. We all did expect a better product for the price and on the other hand we are all able to learn. Next time I will wait before I buy, and its pretty sure that the products will become better in the future.

set cloud puffs to 10% instead of 100 - they seem to be not active when skymaxx pro is running, and it gives a little bit more fps then

just confirming that it works, I just tested it.

any windows-version for it?

Ok, first playing shows that its worth to dig into it Main question for me: Can I - somehow - determine the path to the apt.dat that is in use or/and the apt.dat from the destination airport (being aware of the airports after reading the flightplan)?

very cool, thank you guys. I will first play around with the console to see if my idea is worth taking a deeper look, and I will surely then try out the suggestions. Thanks again!

hehe yeah... makes sense Thanks. Its working. So I will play around a little bit. Any recommended IDE for Gizmo?

OK thanks. I would like to start with reading datarefs and print the values into the console. That would be the first thing, all other things I can get out of the docs I think. But a simple "Print current_heading" or so... for the console... ??? *begs*

but I dont even see the Windows-> Enrollment - Menu Can someone tell me where to start? Or point at the documentation? Thx!

Its already solved with the 2.1 (the NEO-Weather-Problem) - just fyi And it was no SASL-problem, it was a simple "Hey, I reduce turbulence by manipulating weather"-issue

As I said above, I know Lets see if an upgrade of my RAM (from 6 to 32 ) will bring some more power to it. Seems that 64-bit xplane, even if its showing that its "just" using 4 GB by having 1 still free is starting to swap.

Yes, exactly thats the point - but X-Plane-Redraws are quicker, so the stutter/pause is almost not noticable. And its not during actualization of weather, its during changing altitude to new cloud layers.

Yeah, I will play around the next days, but maybe you can get a look into the sudden changes and maybe be able to provide smooth transitions when loading the next cloud layer?
