December 9, 20169 yr I love XP 11 and realize it is in beta, and I love tremendously so far. These are not default clouds in P3D, they are REX. I hope a developer will jump on board with XP and create some great clouds. Aaron Tirrell
December 9, 20169 yr Author Thank you, and as much as I love P3D, it has nothing on XP 11 beta when it comes to night lighting. The daytime shadows also bend around rooftops, etc... Aaron Tirrell
December 9, 20169 yr Or those in IL2 Battle of Stalingrad, which even form cloud streets!

December 9, 20169 yr Moderator Sad but true, I think even the default clouds in FSX/P3D look better than X-Plane's. XP11 and clouds is a no-go for me, my sim will drop to about 5fps once I have them.

And there's not even by far all types there should be, nor the corresponding effects, as in ASN...

December 9, 20169 yr Always the same mistake, comparing default XP with REX or ASN or whatever. Put SMP on, choose dense particles and you can get better close up screenshots. The problem is that the rest of the wather is not on par with clouds looking and FPS suffers heavily to have a decent coverage. So I'd say the problem are not clouds but the rest of the weather depiction. Riccardo Viecca
December 9, 20169 yr SMP for all of it's flaws has clouds that look much better than that. 4790K @4.9GHz, 32GB DDR3, 1080Ti, W10-64bit
December 9, 20169 yr xEnviro produces some very immersive clouds, and other atmospheric and weather effects. And its performance hit is very small , in most conditions, fps are better than what you get with default clouds!
December 10, 20169 yr It should also be noted that while REX clouds do, in fact, look great, they suffer from the same up close billboarding as default FSX clouds, and even xEnviro, based on what I've read.
