SkyMaxxPro 2 - Cloud shadows!

Recommended Posts

Eek! That's just what I wanted to hear! I'm amazed that there seems to be a negligible FPS hit too  ^_^

Great news. The cloud shadows in XP are really nice, but the default clouds are horrible..... SMP's clouds are much nicer but as we know they're a no go for shadows.

 

A few months ago John Spahn was saying it couldn't be done..... but it looks like they've cracked it  :lol:

I just wet myself. I'm not sure if it's directly related to this news but seeing as I'm not drunk or habitually incontinent it seems like too much of a coincidence.

They won't ever look like that because that would mean regressing to being 2D billboards. If they looked like FSX REX clouds no-one would buy them.

Flying in and out of 2D billboards is a buzz kill ! I take it you have never used Skymaxxpro ? Have you even used Xplane outside of the Demo ?

Its also a major frame rate kill in the case of REX, whilst for most people SMP gives a significant frame rate boost. Now if they could only sort out a decent weather injector
