It is a little steep in terms of purchase price, but it seems to have a lot of potential. It's not perfect by any means but after a quick flight I experienced quite a few impressive moments. Coming from P3D and REX etc it is nice that you can just switch it off so easily 🙂 I'm glad you are enjoying Xenviro 1.09 but just to be clear, I personally would not recommend buying version 1.09 at this point until 1.10 is released (and if it lives up to what it appears to be in the videos/screenshots). There are a serious number of bugs in 1.09 like you can't zoom in properly and some of the options do not work properly, and performance is pretty bad. There are good things too but most people are not happy with it (including me) and revert back to version 1.06 (which you can do via the Xenviro website if you want to compare versions). In any case, enjoy the product but more so a warning to others that 1.09 is not in a very good state for long term serious usage.

May 23, 20197 yr Really looks amazing. Would be nice to finally have a weather product in X-Plane that would blow you away, instead of Cartoon Cutout Cloud Product #305 and generic scripts to make default clouds look 2% less awful. Hell, if it actually does other weather systems just as well, like thunderstorms, then it even got a leg up on the best P3D can offer.

Hell, if it actually does other weather systems just as well, like thunderstorms, then it even got a leg up on the best P3D can offer. I don't believe X-Plane can do a "real" thunderstorm until the underlying weather engine is re-written, maybe in XP12. A towering CB is a discrete 3D weather system with updraft and downdraft circulation inside the storm. And there can be more than one CB strung out along a weather front. The XP weather engine doesn't model vertical convection in clouds except as turbulence, or updrafts near mountain ranges. That part of the engine might be tapped by a 3rd party add-on, but there is nothing I've seen so far that allows a discrete 3D model of a CB as something "outside" the weather surrounding your plane. Same thing with storm fronts, which should be 3D models off in the distance that you approach with your plane, instead of something that just suddenly surrounds your plane in 360 degrees out to the horizon when a new METAR or proprietary real weather data is downloaded. xEnviro does some nice things with smoke and mirrors to hide the faults in the underlying weather engine, especially at high altitudes. SkyMaxx Pro does a good job at lower altitudes, especially in the mountains. But I don't think any add-on can push the envelope where it needs to be, until Laminar gets serious about rebuilding the weather engine from scratch. Or at least giving the tools to add-on developers to create real, fully 3-dimensional weather systems.

Even though I fly VR most of the time, if this product is as good as the screenshots depict AND they truly do work on delivering in VR, then I will likely get it anyway myself. I do hope they can bring this to VR, especially when they bring forward season technology. This really would be excellent in VR. REX AccuSeason Developer REX Simulations
May 24, 20197 yr It does look terrific. Just waiting on some feedback on performance. If its reasonably I am buying definitely. Even some performance hit is acceptable considering default clouds do the same
