April 15, 201610 yr Hi All, Just got an email from X-Aviation regarding V3.1.1 I have installed this new version and currently enroute form EGHI to EGPF. So far it looks way better than 3.1. I was really struggling with my FPS in clouds and was sometimes in the teens. Tonight I even started to dial back some of my rendering settings in X-Plane which I haven't touched for ages. Thankfully 3.1.1 seems way better. I noticed the default setting the draw distance is lower for a start. Have to say it looks amazing. Really looking forward to the weather connector Happy Days Richard Richard i7-12700K | Noctua NH-D15S Black Version | MSI Pro Z690 - A | 32 GB DDR4 3600 | Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 | 1TB WD Blue NMVe (MSFS 2020) | 500 GB WD Black Gen 4 NVMe | 4TB WD Black Conventional | Fractal Design Torrent Case | Seasonic 1000W Gold Plus PSU | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Honeycomb Throttle | Airbus Side Stick | Virpil Rudder Pedals | Sony X90K 55 Inch TV |
April 15, 201610 yr Good to hear. Will install my updated version soon.

April 15, 201610 yr The first thing I usually do after installing SMP is to increase the draw distance, otherwise I get the "in the middle of a flock of sheep" effect at high altitude. Once I see some positive reviews of RWC I may buy - it is out as I write in fact! http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/product_info.php/real-weather-connector-p-120
April 15, 201610 yr Will buy it ASAP today - the connector - but will only be able to test it in 12 hrs :-( Good news regarding 3.1.1 of SMP, probably fine tuned to better interact with the Connector. I intend to start testing the Connector by disabling the NOAA plugin, and then re-enabling it ( because wind and turbulence injection is really good with this freeware weather injector... ) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
April 15, 201610 yr Can someone test and report the Real Weather Connector? I need to know how the plugin load a new clouds? The frequent freezes (2-4 sec) while changing clouds its fixed? Ivo Crni
April 15, 201610 yr Well, installed in a rush, just before leaving for work and... 3.1.1 + Connector + NOAA plugin work together flawless AND beautifully !!! tested with LPPT and LPMT weather, and all very plausible. It's a WINNER !!!! Very good !

April 15, 201610 yr Commercial Member The frequent freezes (2-4 sec) while changing clouds its fixed? That was fixed in the 3.1 update. Founder of X-Aviation
April 15, 201610 yr Also beware that the NOAA plugin can cause freezes by itself, so, when using it with SMP, and now also the connector, the freezes can well come from that plugin as well...

April 15, 201610 yr I took the NOAA out and am just using the default "real weather". It looks and feels --- nice! John John Wingold
April 15, 201610 yr Thx John, that's what I intend to test next. Of course aloft data for non USA regions will only come with 10.50, as someone suggested in one post yesterday...

April 15, 201610 yr I'm really happy with the combination, 3.3.1 and connector. Dramatic improvements have been made and the overall effect is exactly as one would wish it to be. i7 7700k, @ 4.6Ghz. GTX1070 8Gig. 32Gigs DDR4 2400. Win 10 pro. X-Plane 11.
April 15, 201610 yr I'm really happy with the combination, 3.3.1 and connector. Dramatic improvements have been made and the overall effect is exactly as one would wish it to be. I agree! I think X-Aviation (and Sundog) takes a customer support backseat to NO ONE! Prompt and steady software updates and grooming. Giving user discounts for product morphology,....top notch user/customer experience! Cheers, Mitch/Ses
