I haven't posted any here but there are plenty of pics showing the increased cloud distance....

All my vids are during certain stages of development, when I see something I like I decide to post it....

Redpiper1 is working on our promo video and I asked him to highlight our new features, expect it soon

Honestly, what is so difficult about finding a place with overcast, getting in a jet and climbing to FL350 to take a screenshot?

Absolutely correct it isn't difficult at all.....

 

My goal isn't to hyjack a thread about a competing product either, I just decided to reply since we were mentioned...

 

Also out of respect for the rules here at AVSIM I refrain from advertising our product...

Jason just gave me a hand here;

A couple shots under different conditions

you can skip to 19min 40 s

Saw that gave him a heads up how to fix that nasty haze by reading this post

Interesting product, but the clouds are really low quality, and despite using low quality clouds, I can still see a fair amount of "popping" clouds...they appear suddenly.

Would be interesting to see how they progress...they do have an advantage in that they run their own weather generator so it can translate the weather how it needs it, but still...will be interesting to see how it progresses.

I broke down and bought this today.  I started it up and looked for some bad weather and saw that KPDX was having snow and ice.  Sure enough, the program simulated that down to the the looming gray sky.  One setting that I have a question about - post-processing.  For me, it just seems to wash everything out when it is on?

 

I'll have to test this out more.  From what I read here, I shouldn't expect what I'm used to in REX with Soft Clouds for P3D.  But, so far, it is much better than default which isn't saying much.

Post processing doesn't do anything usable for me, I have unticked it for the time being.

Give it a bit of time, and do some flights.

Personally, I really think that it is even better (more realistic) than AS16 and ASCA/REX in FSX/P3D in various things. But it does have some problems for sure. The road map from the developer looks promising though.

I'm planning to pull the trigger today.  The devs seems committed, and I like that there seems to be minimal fps impact.  I just can't fly with default XP11 clouds anymore. 

Someone posted this today on Facebook. Not bad I think, just a little under-saturated in total.

 

Yes, always forget to mention this, performance is very good, even in dense clouds.

Not bad I think

 

Very nice actually. It has some issues for sure, but I'm beginning to change my mind about SMP4 looking better. In fact a lot of the stuff posted from them looks pretty bloody cheesy, whereas this does represent real atmospherics a lot better in most cases.

 

Drop the price and I will take a punt, even though I really would like some manual control.

Currently here at my home base:

 

And the corresponding webcam shot, to be fair they get this quite right. 

 

That looks amazing!  I'm going to get this soon.

How are they at night? Natural looking or glowing white? :-)
