June 5, 20169 yr Always good to see a performance update for SkyMaxx Pro....and it's available for download from your X-Aviation account. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "X-Aviation, Maxx-XP, and Sundog Software are proud to announce the release of SkyMaxx Pro v3.2! If you're a Real Weather Connector customer then new changes will be included in this update that will greatly enhance your experience. This new version incorporates some performance changes and items adjusted due to customer feedback". What's New / Changed: Cloud detail level is now set automatically based on the cloud draw area in SMP's settings, to maximize performance with large draw areas. High-altitude jetliner pilots will want to try turning up the draw area for fast clouds that extend further, and look better, than ever. X-Plane 10.50-ready; uses new 10.50 features to further improve performance. Added 3 new cirrus cloud texture sets Less VRAM usage from clouds Removed min & max cloud size settings Edges of cumulus cloud layers are now rounded instead of square Cumulus clouds are very slightly darker More performance improvements Cirrus cloud lighting refined Cirrus clouds no longer "jump" periodically Updated documentation

Avoids reloading of clouds when crossing 1-degree tile boundaries Properly handles missing RVR data in METAR reports (fixes issues with no clouds appearing near some automated weather stations) Automatically enforces a minimum cloud draw area when RWC is active Clouds are no longer reloaded if a new METAR file is found, yet its data is unchanged. METAR data is now always reloaded when RWC settings are changed Cloud layer heights now more accurate Windows 11 - Samsung 990 Pro M.2 | Asus Prime Z690 | i7 12700KF HT | DeepCool LS520 SE | MSI 5070 Ti Ventus OC | 64GB G.Skill XMP II | Lian Li 216 LANCOOL RGB | TrackIr v5 | Honeycomb Alfa - Bravo - Charlie | MSFS 2024 - Samsung 990 Pro M.2 | Curved 27" MSI | JBL Quantum 810

June 5, 20169 yr Exellent update! Super smooth! Of course, in order to be able to test it, I had to reinstall X-Plane 10, just with the scenery tiles for Portugal, Spain and England though... more than sufficient for my AirfoilLabs and PSX flights.... I also installed RTH v4. Never read about incompatibilities between RTH and SMPv3, but I would like to get confirmation from other users that indeed they're compatible ? Carlos'es are the best... weren't I one of them too :-) Thx Carlos for the good news !
