Yep I saw that too, amazing stuff and closer to release.

Eek! That's just what I wanted to hear! I'm amazed that there seems to be a negligible FPS hit too  ^_^

Great news. The cloud shadows in XP are really nice, but the default clouds are horrible..... SMP's clouds are much nicer but as we know they're a no go for shadows.

 

A few months ago John Spahn was saying it couldn't be done..... but it looks like they've cracked it  :lol:

WOW GET IN! what i've been waiting for.....! 

 

Lol only a Geordie would say "Get in!" (takes one to know one!).  :wink:

Good news indeed mate!

I just wet myself. I'm not sure if it's directly related to this news but seeing as I'm not drunk or habitually incontinent it seems like too much of a coincidence.

I dont get it. that's good? When they look like FSX REX clouds I'll celebrate.

They won't ever look like that because that would mean regressing to being 2D billboards. If they looked like FSX REX clouds no-one would buy them.

Flying in and out of 2D billboards is a buzz kill ! I take it you have never used Skymaxxpro ? Have you even used Xplane outside of the Demo ?

PERFECT!!! I can't wait for it!

Its also a major frame rate kill in the case of REX, whilst for most people SMP gives a significant frame rate boost. Now if they could only sort out a decent weather injector
