So I have SkyMaxx Pro v4 too, but I haven't re-installed it yet because I've been testing the new default clouds in XP11. For the locations and plane types I usually fly, it's a deal-breaker to only have real injected weather. I bought XEnviro to try out, but even with 3D clouds I'll probably keep it shelved, because they confirmed it will never have full manual control of the weather. If they can move to 3D (or more likely a mix of close 3D and distant 2D) without too much reduction in frame rate, I'll be impressed. Well, it's a new product, and I think it's good that they're responding to one of the criticisms of the first release - that clouds were too often very obvious 2D billboards. I'm absolutely loving 圎nviro, but I feel like the developer doesn't have his priorities organized properly- the 1.07 update is taking so long because he's totally changing the cloud rendering system from 2D to 3D clouds, which is great but it's more something you'd expect to see in 1.5 or 2.0- there are many more small bugs/missing features that need to be fixed first. I'll reserve judgement until they post more screenshots. Adjusts lighting on distant cloud puffs at night Works better than ever with Real Weather Connector: more accurate representations of ground fog, thunderstorm placement, and stratus/overcast cloud placement when used with RWC. Cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds now move realistically relative to your plane's motion. Higher-resolution scattered and broken cumulus clouds, with twice the resolution as SMP3. Overcast clouds have never looked so good from above and below. All-new "HD Cloud Puffs" overcast representation! Fly through large, thick overcast layers built from real HD cloud photos, without killing your framerate.
Rain will start and stop realistically as you fly underneath or through the clouds.
Precipitation is tied to individual clouds in SMP4. Precipitation is even lit by your landing lights! And an whole new precipitation control panel lets you tweak its appearance to your own liking. New 3D precipitation system that represents rain, sleet, wet snow, and dry snow - as well as mixed precipitation that responds automatically to the ambient temperature. Did we mention big performance improvements? SMP4 is faster than ever. Go ahead and crank up SMP's cloud draw area setting and achieve fast, realistic scenes at F元00 and above. Double your maximum cloud draw area! Big performance improvements allow clouds to be drawn across an area up to 320 km across surrounding your plane.
