X-Plane 12: weather effects and its results

Featured Replies

Watch the ice and snow building up on the runway and the grass.

Watch the ice and snow melting on the runway and the grass. It's like watching paint drying 😄 TM and shows it can be done by a "small team" TM.

I think the dynamic effect of weather in XP12 has been an underrated feature in the post-release reactions. It's something you don't notice right away so it doesn't give you a "wow!" factor, but now I'm starting to appreciate it a lot. It makes the world less static and more dynamic.

"Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

Unique !

And from the tests I did run so far, comparing injected RW Weather with reality, so far XP12 rules in closeness to the various conditions I was able to observe looking around the areas I was in, or using Live Cameras.

Seriously though. 9 to 10 was nice. 10 to 11 was also good. 12 has been... I feel like Augustus Gloop from Willy Wonka.

XP12 is a major step forward - especially lighting and clouds.  Yes, some of the clouds and pixilation effects are poor, but expected in a beta.

I've changed my metaphor above in case it was misunderstood.

Indeed! People often have a glance onto a product and if the wrapping isn't colourful enough they don't like it and don't buy it. Or like with songs ... some are very easy to listen and to bawl in the beer garden ("one hit wonder"), others need to be heard several times until you understand the quality behind.
