New cloud rendering software

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Wondering if this is a future addition to be integrated into P3D like the water has - correct me if it all ready is implemented

I doubt it.  Too many weather engines already out.  Rex Texture direct with Soft Clouds and Weather engine REX Essentials puts out a much better product then what your video shows IMHO.  Anyway we'd all be paying LM more money for the third time and twice is enough.

Good point but what if it was free - food for thought 

 

Also REX is not a rendering engine - just textures - two entirely different things 

[GSalden 4,656]

Rich, REX also has a weather engine...

 

Like Opus FSI.

Like ASN.

Ah dah of course it does - I need a vacation loosing it

"REX Essential PLUS is a fourteen-time award-winning complete weather engine, texture environment & flight planning add-on".

 

Jeez you guys are quick.

Hahaha.

What you need : P3D v3.1....

The flight simulator shown in the video is X-Plane 10. A payware add-on for X-Plane 10 uses that weather SDK:

I was thinking that as well,  Sundog does x-plane

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

I think it can be used in P3D also - but not sure - just like the water product in P3D

[jabloomf1230 2,445]

It could be used, if LM wanted to use it. But then they would have to license the SDK, just like they did with Triton (water/waves SDK) and SpeedTrees. A third party could create a product based on it, just like SkyMaXX Pro for XP10, but then most of the existing weather injectors would have to adapt to that product.

[Poppet 703]

Oh very good, never thought of it like that

LM - P3D has been using Triton (aka Sundog Software) for it's water for some time now.  SilverLining is Sundog's sky/cloud product (libraries/SDK) for clouds, weather, 

 

Triton (Sundog) - Water:

SilverLining (Sundog) - sky/clouds:

Personally I prefer the existing P3D cloud rendering process over SilverLining.

Thanks Rob for clearing that up  :wink:

I'd prefer LM to find a way to avoid AAing the clouds if thats even possible, it was in FSX with the DX10 fixer
