Welcome to the XP community; the software concept looks promising.

Question: are the clouds 3D?

on the flat monitor all in 2D  :smile:

 

[Humpty 751]

these are 2d clouds ? Are they aligned or generated according to the METAR ?

[SimFlight Russia 11]

metar only)))

If possible; Could you provide additional screen shots of the different degrees of clouds formation and rain and fog effects? here, or YT video; as not everyone has FB.

Wish I knew about this before spending all day yesterday trying to get Ventura Sky working.  X-Plane is great and all, but sheesh trying to install some of these freeware addons is next to impossible.

 

XEnviro looks promising, but $70 seems a bit steep.  Will there be other options besides lifetime?  Also, 4 activation limit on a lifetime license doesn't seem right.

 Also, 4 activation limit on a lifetime license doesn't seem right.

I think this was a misunderstanding due to the language barrier- the developer has confirmed both on xplane.org and facebook that once your activation run out all you need to do is contact the distributor to reset them.

We need some videos or more screenshots of different environments , the shots above do look good though.  Are they Cumulus ?

As with all X-Plane add-ons in this price range I will wait for many good user reviews but it does look promising.

Why no FB ? not allowed ? Don't have FB though.

This does like a nice piece of software, but the price is pretty high for an impulse buy.

 

I have a few questions for the developer or anyone using this

 

1) How does this compare to SkyMaxx Pro? Does it look better, perform better, etc

2) How is the performance compare to the default clouds?

3) Does it support cloud shadows and work with RealTerraHaze

4) You probably can't answer this yet, but does it work with XP11 and the new fog effects

 

Please also correct me if I read wrong, but I heard you also use your own servers to provide the weather. One concern here is that at any point you could choose to switch off the servers or stop providing the service for reasons out of your control, will this then render the software useless (or can it use X-Plane's or the NOAA plugin)

Why don't you just create a dummy account so you can read and join these groups. You don't have to post what you eat for lunch or pictures of your cat. It's simply easier for developers to post screenshots on a Facebook page.

Yeah that would do.

 

 

 

Simflightrussia  more screenshots or videos with different weather please

Definitely has a lot of interesting features such as VC rain effects on the windshield.  This will be great for aircraft that do not have them built into the model.  I would like to see more screenshots of the sunrise/sunset textures, VC rain effects, and different cloud formations.
