• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Couldn´t stand those fluffy default clouds no more so I treated myself with a new sky-set (zynertech ones, their products looked off for FS9 colorwise, but do look great for FSX). And violá, finally some eyecandy, together with new dusk-dawn colors decreasing the default overall pink!!

I like it!

Those are not looking to shabby at all...If I remember correctly the price was real good to....:applause:
 
The reason why I did not go for Active Sky or Real Sky was clear - I did not need any other interface and another setup procedure and millions of options to chose from. These ones are just installed and that´s it!

The price was definetely allright and the result is a nice enhancement of the sim. Those default clouds looked real horrid compared to the enhanced groundtextures I used, so this further step was necesary. No performance hit either with those textures, so that´s positive, too!

Nope, they obviously intend to keep the whole product frameratefriendly, so you only get a single resolution. And it works fine even with default: TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024. No need to change the value. Clouds look more detailed and real.

They even look good from up close!
