I've ( again ) given up on using XP10 as a flight simulator ( maybe I should have bought the SaaB 340, but I spent my money on SMP3 instead because I skipped the promotional campaign for v2 users :-/ ), but the flight dynamics are sooo disappointing that the only thing it is really good at is World coverage of airport scenery and navaid data, night scenery, and now, the effects of SMP3, which not being comparable to what I got in MSFS or P3D are still much better than without. When it comes to storm coverage, it's important ( I'de say mandatory ) to have a synoptic scale view of the weather around you, merging not only METAR info but also other ( forecasts such as TAF, GAMET or AIREP ) sources.
It's easy in Europe to have your captain reporting to the passengers that the aircraft is approaching the destination airport on a beautiful cloudless day, to just find out there's that, sometimes thick, overcast at 6500' over the area and surrounding towns. Looks promising, but you should go beyond METAR strings - they're too limited in the vertical plane specially around Europe and other areas where very low sector altitudes are common.

It's definitely no small project, especially considering there are more lines of code in this little add-on than in all of SkyMaxx Pro itself! We're just leveraging SkyMaxx Pro's clouds because we can. For now, stay tuned while we get through beta testing." I think once folks start to get their hands on it and spread the word, folks will understand why it's a product in its own right. The truth is, while it doesn't fetch the weather, it does much more of a lot of things you'd expect a weather injector TO DO, and does it better in a lot of areas. It's middle ground between a weather injector and an enabler. To be quite clear, this is really a grey area of perception. I kinda doubt that's possible with the current v10 weather engine, but I'm looking forward to see how much can be done with this add-on.
and I'll be throwing money at the screen. Towering CB's that also act the way they should, with severe vertical up/downdrafts, and in discrete formations that I'd be able to duck in between. Towering cumulonimbus in the distance as a purely visual effect, would definitely sell me on this.
We didn't replicate what X-Plane's default clouds can do, we went beyond that. For example, we can have hundreds of distinct cloud layers in view at once, all at different altitudes - and we offer cloud types like cumulonimbus and towering cumulus that the default engine doesn't have. We're parsing and interpolating raw METAR information, and using it to position cloud formations and storm clouds in ways X-Plane's built-in weather cannot. we're not bringing XP's default real-world weather functionality to SkyMaxx we're inventing our own. We still add some X-Plane 10 files from time to time but by user demand, we now focus mainly on XP11.Frank put it this way in a post somewhere else: Slowly, new models and more niche designs are becoming available as developers work on them so be sure to visit this page often for the latest updates and releases.Īll of the files here are free to download and use - you don't even need to register - simply click on "Download" and begin.

Repaints are easy to install and they are built to work with the existing aircraft so you can be sure you'll have a full cockpit and even a 3D Virtual Cockpit (VC) working when installed. X-Plane 11 comes with many high-quality aircraft out of the box and developers have chosen to expand on these existing aircraft with paints (repaints) of their own. At the moment, freeware developers are focusing on repaints as opposed to full models.

This add-on is available from the file library here.Īll of the add-ons here are easy to install and most (if not all) come with detailed installation instructions to get you up and running with the new aircraft mod you have downloaded. Image shows a TNT Cargo Boeing 737 on taxiway in X-Plane 11.
