Is X-Ambience Worth It?

[dal330200]

Hi Everyone,

I've been tinkering with X-plane as I wait for Rex Environment force to become available for P3D.  I'm getting so tired of playing with presets and tweaking shaders in order to create a more-plausible world to fly in.  I'm liking x-plane more and more every day, but I also like the idea of being able to adjust the environment "on the fly".  Does X-ambience make it easy to tweak the look and feel of the sim?  Is it worth it? 

Thanks for your opinions,

John

I think it's no different than Ultraweather, which still require you to select texture sets for clouds sky etc.

Right now i am using x-vision for the graphical side of things, and by using the presets people created i don't have to go down the tweaking lane on each individual value.

I bought the bullet and bought x-ambience.  It's lousy. Half of the features don't work properly, and you still need to restart the sim for a lot of the changes to take effect.  Hard to save presets, and there aren't any out there made by others.  It has potential, but this should have been a beta, not a pricey addon.  Out of all the addons I've bought for both sims over the years, this is by far the worst.  I'm seriously considering getting x-vision now that you've mentioned it.
