This plugin has won me back as regular XP11 user

John, I’m not telling you what to buy and what not to buy. That’s entirely your choice. But it looks heavily biased when you’re willing to throw 20 quid to the winds for an excuse of an add on, and hope it pays off, without even looking at reviews, but you won’t even test a demo version of something people have been screaming for, for years. You included.
That 10fps loss is dependant on different factors. Number of plug-ins weighs in heavily on that.

Show me thick 3D clouds reaching all the way to the horizon with no (or even minimal) fps hit and I'll buy it. 

Will try to get a screenshot tonight ...

-I reinstalled XP11 after long months .

-It hurts the eyes a lot...

-I installed Enhanced Skyscapes.

-I have done several flights with Active Sky

-I definitely uninstalled everything

-I don't even have hope for XP12

The thing i'm certain is that there will be no miracle now and in the future.

At least you got to enjoy it for a little while before MSFS was released. 😀

Dealing with MSFS updates and at times "a broken sim" is not what I call fun. But if you're enjoying it, congrats!

There's hardly an fps hit on my system. Trust me on that one! I'm very critical of performance and the eye test.

This is the best $15 I've ever spent on this sim. Since I really do not buy add-ons anymore, mainly because I beta test add-ons for several devs, it says a lot that I was willing to spend $15 for just a "cloud enhancing" plugin.

This one is right up there with XP Realistic as the best two plugins I've ever purchased for XP11.

I don't even have to be a perfectionist in this case to be dissatisfied.

Yes just like so many, just here to pick. Nothing is ever good enough, just like the guy watched the first preview of the Q400, and made the silly comment out the VC textures, no reason, just had to be smart, what he didnt notice was the tires where 2 psi low in pressure.

I took advantage of what I bought . I suffered from XP11.I took advantage of the magic of ORBX TrueEarth.this is the only beautiful postcard from XP that I have kept on my fridge door .

I never had an update problem with FS.It's my installation methodology that differs from yours😄 .This is why I am enjoying it copiously everyday.

When i no longer like a simulator planes are also included in the package even with their tires and the endless list of scripts.

So small can it be, i only like the overall balance of a simulator.
