XP 10/11 Pilots what sky textures are you using?

Recommended Posts

So currently I am using SkyMaxx pro hazy days sky textures, but I am looking for a nice looking real set of sky textures and wanted to get peoples opinions.

If you use X-Enviro you don't need to worry about sky textures anymore because X-Enviro calculates and shows sky colors depending on the weather, time of day, etc. It doesn't work with textures anymore which is nice because textures are extremely limited. I haven't bought X-Enviro yet but certainly will and so those are the skies I will use. Sky textures are so 2016.  :wink:

xEnviro, period. You won't regret your investment. Install and forget it. No tweaking. Absolutely the very best weather rendition.

Free! But, the dev has a payware add-on with many variations.


A pilot is always learning and I LOVE to learn.

I get absolutely horrible performance with xenviro. I can set sky Maxx out to the most distant draw and be fine but for some reason xenviro cost me like 15 frames

I agree, Jean-Jaques.

 

I love it. Just turn it on, adjust setting to light/medium or high and off you go.

 

I lose track if I have to manually load textures and such. I quickly get in a mess.

 

XEnviro has rid me of all that disorganisation.
