Flying gliders since 1980

Flightsimming since 1992

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

I can't tell the difference.  X-Plane 12 already looks good so does it make noticeable difference?  I am a bit reluctant because not sure what kind of FPS hit my system will take. 

 

Some context below

Hey @jcomm, just a small correction! That's the default Citation X, not our CJ525. :)

I paid for this 5 years ago so decided to give it a try.  Quick initial feedback. 

Installer ask to make registry changes with elevated permission in Windows. 

The plugin worked with serial number from the past and didn't require sending any additional email to xEnviro to "activate" the serial number (used to deactivates when not used for more that X number of months)

The performance hit for me is 3 ~ 5 FPS

In Dallas today (KTKI) the ground and atmosphere looked very good.  A bit pixelated at times. 

Here is my setting

Few more things discovered.  

xEnviro will not fully apply all the effects in VR particularly fog/cloud

When this plugin is on, Nvidia recorder is showing a strange behavior.  I reported this in their support forum

Just upgraded to xEnviro 1.34, and so far very good indeed !

Smooth as silk in my rig, noticed no degradation from using it in the couple test flights I did, in situations with different weather scenarios.

I'm rather satisfied so far 🙂
