Hi, I just downloaded the new "Sabach Cloud & Environment" freeware add-on. It replaces default clouds and sky textures. I think it improves significantly the look of the weather, especially clouds. There's no impact on FPS, on the contrary it seem to be even a little better. You can donwload it here: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=19462 A couple of screenshots so you can see what to expect:

Here's a great mod from Sabach, just wanted to share it with you guys incase you haven't already heard about it. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=66227 This is a great mod that will enhance the sky colors and fix the terrible default looking clouds in X-Plane 10. It's an ongoing development so things will get better as the project moves on. But so far this looks much better than the original.

I had Active Sky 2012 and I uninstalled it yesterday. After installing it I restarted my computer and went back to FSX and when I pressed SHIFT+5 a blank HiFi Technologies radar came up. I went in and manually removed all the flies that are from Active Sky and HiFi Technologies and it still does it. I found out that it is called xGuage and I looked to see if there were any files with that name and there were not. So I would love to get this completely uninstalled so that SHIFT+5 pulls up what it is supposed to. -

Hello guys, I'm presenting here a little addon I made for FSX. It's a set of sky textures designed to take advantadge of some ENB features. The sky textures were made in parallel with ENB settings -- that I included in the package -- to achieve the best visual result. You can use them without ENB, in a pure FSX, or while using something like SweetFX, but the results will be a bit different from the intended. Here are some screenshots, with and without ENB: With ENB Daytime At night (it will be darker than vanilla FSX, but lights will stay there) Sunrise Sunset Without ENB Sunrise Sunset Post-sunset Ok, I think this gives you an idea. You can download it here: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxmisc&DLID=179660 That's all, hope you like it! Use this topic to discuss about this mod. This topic is replacing the one that was in the screenshots forum. Regards,

Hi,when I started FSX today the Freeflight Menu looked like this:There was no Aircraft in the Preview Window and all my settings were corrupted.However I started the flight and after a very short loading time this was displayed:Nothing, but sky and the VC.No World and no aircraft from the outside.Before I started the session, I installed FS2Crew for the NGX and I tested to install a AI Livery by Addit Pro. I also istalled the latest Navigraph update for Feelthere Products.I removed both Programms, reset the FSX.cfg and repaired FSX with the ACC DVD.Nothing fixed the issue.I googled and searched the forum and this was the only Thread I was able to find. I have Orbx products installed but I didn't use them recently.I hope somebody can help me... -

Note: The glow of the airport terminals and apron was created post-capture. -
Showing off my custom made sky textures which I've worked hard on to reproduce the most realistic skies. It is important to note that this screenshot has not been edited in any way after the capture. I use custom tweaked Mogwaisoft Shade and also Reshade (instead of ENB) for bloom and colour/brightness adjustments which really enhance the overall visual depiction and complementing the sky textures, are essential for the realism.

Beautiful, realistic sunset/dusk sky textures
domc712 posted a topic in The AVSIM Screen Shots Forum
Just a series of screenshots showcasing my sky textures that I have been working on and off for the past few weeks, meticulously editing the .bmp files to portray the most realistic skies for a more immersive and realistic FSX experience. I have finally reached a point where I am happy with the textures and will post more screenshots in the next few days. I am using Active Sky Next for weather generation, ORBX Global, Vector and Open LC Europe, as well as Aerosoft's German Landmarks and a combination of ORBX's and Aerosoft's Night Environment Germany for the night lighting. Importantly, I am using Mogwaisoft Shade and also Reshade (instead of ENB) for bloom and colour/brightness adjustments. Featured in these shots is the Cathay Pacific PMDG 777-300ER. -
Hello everyone, I have recently run asn on a networked pc. It says sim connected and all the files are shared and writable. When I run test using manual weather, using the rain drops preset, the clouds pop up, but the rain doesn't come. The tarmac turns all shiney, but no rain falls. When I go into map, no rain shows up on the display (dbz turned on) All the ports are unblocked. Thanks in advance, 1251452 -
Please note: these are custom sky textures created by myself. The only thing that has been "edited" in these shots in the lens flare of the sun. This is the view facing away from the sun (the Antisolar point), where you can clearly see a rendering of the Belt of Venus phenomenon One from the apron a little later on:

Flying across from Darwin (YPDN) to Karumba (YKMB) The Gulf of Carpentaria. I went there in the mid-90's. There were "no-swimming" signs in the rivers and on the beach. Apparently, the Tiger Sharks and the huge saltwater crocodiles ("salties") literally have fights in the surf. Unfortunately, I never got to see one of these fabled contests (the crocs always win - mean muthas them salties)
