It brings the entire simulator to a whole new level of realism. SkyMaxx Pro will literally change the way you see the world in X-Plane, and has four years of development experience in the X-Plane world. Overcast clouds have never looked so good from above and below. Designed to work with both X-Plane 10 and 11! Double your maximum cloud draw area compared to SkyMaxx Pro v3! New 3D precipitation system! Precipitation is even lit by your landing lights! Precipitation is tied to individual clouds - Rain will start and stop realistically as you fly underneath or through the clouds. In fact, most of our test team showed that when running default X-Plane clouds vs. Performance wise you tend to get the max cloud distance depiction without a big sacrifice on fps, where you do take a hit is, as i mentioned above, if you try to use the maximum option under the cloud settings about fps?What you gain are some amazing visual effects at almost no performance hit! The only resolution to this at the moment is to use version 1. The other issue is in VR, if you use version 1. I have seen some odd issues with the current version of 圎nviro. I also turned off Post Processing, which tends to raise the gamma in the image too high. I also found the brightness of the clouds to be a tad high, so i lowered that down. Now lets take a look at the different cirrus cloud options. I chose to do a ground vs 11, foot vs 33, foot comparison for these.įocusing on the distance slider differences at 33, feet airliner territory where that slider has the most impact. This brings us to the first round of screenshots. My understanding is that this connector helps with Metar data in better distrubuting the clouds both horizontally and vertically. Now off to take a look at each Environment Engine and how they perform. I run 32GB of ram at MHz also have been doing but backed it off for these tests. I left Fraps running so the FPS could be seen clearly between shots. So for these tests I set it to single screen mode. I also show a few tweaks that can be done to make even the default look better. As it turns out I will probably alternate between SMP and XE for different situations, nothing really wrong with that and more on this later. One of the biggest sought after features for X-Plane is that of trying to get a good depiction of weather and clouds, something that P3D ActiveSky users often take for granted.
