July 9, 201510 yr Hello my X-Plane friends (best friends in the world) :Big Grin: I have installed my X-Plane again through Steam. As much as i like P3D my heart is with X-Plane (this was my first love) Here is the thing, i hate the default sky color of the sim, its so dull, i feel like im constantly sitting in the shade. Here are 2 payware programs that tackle sky colors, which of these can you recommend, are they worth it ? http://secure.simmarket.com/al-muntassir-realistic-hd-bitmaps-for-x-plane-10.phtml http://store.x-plane.org/Realistic-HD-Bitmaps_p_358.html Thank you :rolleyes:
July 9, 201510 yr Moderator Skymaxx Pro also changes the sky colours as well, and it's worked great for me so far :-)
July 9, 201510 yr Skymaxx gets my vote too. Hopefully they will fix the high altitude dark sky that makes it look like you are in space.

July 9, 201510 yr You may also look for the Tom Knudsen sky colors mods, those are really great too, sorry no links right now but I believe they are at the org. Alexander Colka
July 10, 201510 yr I currently use SkyMaxx Pro for my clouds, but agree that Tom's sky colors are the most realistic that I have found. Am thinking of trying Realistic HD Bitmaps for the sky colors. If anyone has purchased it, I would also appreciate your thoughts on the sky colors.

July 10, 201510 yr I just read that SMP v.3 is "upcoming" So,should I wait for v.3? IXEG 737 Beta-Tester and First Officer i7 [email protected], 32GB RAM, Palit GTX 1080 GameRock Premium@2Ghz, Oculus Rift S, ButtKicker X-Plane 11 latedt version on a Samsung M.2 SSD for speedy loading times
