i always find it amusing, that for such a long time those cars that drive just for decoration, where actually a nice graphics when we where young just amazing how far technology has come
I tried FS Enhancer & Ultimate Mod (or both) and finally ended up here, using Q8Pilot's exact method in this video. What a world of difference in performance. I don't have a potato computer but for some reason, FSenhancer with (or without) the Ultimate Mod was a performance hit. Tried this method and not only does it look better, there is no performance loss. I am so happy I didn't spend money on weather enhancement....
@@Q8Pilot I recently changed some stuff and got the FS global weather (you mentioned in a different video) and used UWXP. I still like these cloud packs, however. The only thing I don't like about any weather/cloud system is that I think they're all 2D and rotate as your fly past them. Is that true? If not, where could I obtain (only) 3D clouds? I want the most realism possible and whatever my 1070 can handle. Thanks, sir.
I sure appreciate your content. You have a classier upscale quality and great articulation. I've been watching your material for a while and just subbed. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more videos.
Small tip: If you use JSGME you can change all the files back and forth without overwriting the originals. In case of a patch you can deactivate the mods, let the patch run and it will not overwrite your mods - and then switch them back on.
These kinds of videos are among the best for X-plane on RU-vid in my opinion. If you make your way down to San Diego, I offer you a free scenic flight in my Cessna 172 Osamah.
I tired it in the past, it does not offer much more than my current combination. Performance wise FSEnhancer eats FPS. Will take a look at it if it ever gets released without Reshade.
You dont need to use reshade with it, i just replaced the cloud and sky bitmaps and used the LUA files included and ive not seen any hit on the FPS. Rehade seems to not only hit the FPS but is unstable as myself and others seem to have had issues with it. Once removed XP worked a lot better.
There are 3 LUA files that come with it. Use those and just replace the bitmaps for clouds and sky. I wouldnt bother with Reshade if your not using it as it seems to hit FPS badly.
Thank you for all of your hard work creating content and information my mate. Enjoy your well deserved trip. Look forward to your next content. Have a great time. Cheers mate.
Q8Pilot Oh I just remembered a question I wanted to ask you. I am looking at the new Orbx Barton airfield and wondering if it will conflict with my ORTHO4XP which I have for all of Manchester and Liverpool. I mean if I install Orbx Barton will it sit over the ortho layer?? What do you think?.
if anything get the tree's and get the vehicles even if you use skymaxx because they make a huge difference to FPS. And thank you for a wonderful video did show me stuff I didn't know been using XP till XPX. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this now my simulator looks AMAZING!! and REALISTIC! i cant thank you more! I was trying to find free realistic textures reshade didnt work and many other thanks so much!
I tried the light.txt file. It kills my FPS. I got steady 30-40 FPS, with any plane/scenerys and so on...Therefor i tried the txt-file, with the same plane (ZIBO-mod), same liverie, same airport(payware ENGM), same time and date, same gate. Tried it 4 times with the custom txt, and the one u link to..and 4 outta 4, im down too 5-10 FPS. Im running the new beta 11.20xxx ...u think that could be an issue? Or is the file made for the custom version of XP?
As always a really good instructional set. I've used the Light text file cuz of you and I really like it.I will try the other suggestions here & let you know how they work on my computer. Have fun in the States & Vegas will be interesting I'm sure :).
Thank you for this - it is very timely as I have been on a mission to find a good weather solution and have tried all the available paywares but on first impression this one is the most satisfying for now, at least until XEnviro get their act together :) p.s. Enjoy your visit to Cali and if you should find yourself in Monterey, hit me up - I'd love to buy you a beer!
I use pretty high settings in general, and i like to fly around citys and built up areas. That means it takes a lot of power to render all the buildings. I really want to have all the buildings show up (by using the highest setting), but it just takes too much fps. So i turned it down to medium, and it just doesnt look good at all. Do you have any tips for what i can do to overcome it?
Hello, Thank you for putting this video together. I currently run XEnviro. As we all know it is a resource hog and it does create odd weather situations. Would you say that the first two add ons (unique clouds variety pack and skycolor) can replicate the cloud types (cumulus, cumulonimbus) and sky colors like XEnviro does? I’m looking to part ways with XEnviro myself.
That shot of the train going down that ramp / hill looks amazing, well done Austin! Just more details for your paying customers to fix for you at no charge! What better model could you ever want - Simply produce a mediocre flight model, throw in a dozen sub standard aircraft that basically just function, tack on a 3rd rate map with extremely limited detail and even more limited range, don't bother with a scale or city names etc. Package it all up and charge 60 dollars for it. Then simply count the money as it comes in and watch all of the dedicated Sim guy's design create and develop top notch add ons that really work so much better, and guess what Austin? They do most of your work for you and it is all free! Amazing eh!
Cant seem to get the Unique clouds variety pack 1.5 working. No idea at all on where to put the files once downloaded. The video seems to indicate pasting them into X Plane root folder but when I try that I get a conflict as there are other folders named 'Resources' so not wishing to overwrite those I backed out!!
hi welcome to middle of 2021.... umm.... do you have better nigh lighting ideas? the link does not provide a download link now :'( Salam and thanks for the videos
I've noticed in some of your other videos you have some headshake as well as some noises (maybe they were noises included with the aircraft) such as taxi noise and creaking. Which addons are providing that?
Do you really not use ortho4xp or anything other than the default landscape textures? It looks very good if that's the default group stuff other than what u showed.
For those who don't like the terrible roads in XP11 here is a mod that makes them look real.. forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/41811-road-and-autogen-textures-for_photoscenery/
Hey guys, I have a question. I was looking to get WT3, but is it worth it for xp10? For me to fly in xp11 I need to upgrade my videocard (gtx 760). I dont really have the money to upgrade card, buy xp11 and upgrade the addons etc. Therefore i am currently stuck with xp10, wich is to bad. I dont really have any pay ware airports and I heard that allot of xp10 airports dont have correct taxiways. I dont have the time to edit all the airports etc. So my question is if WT3 is worth it for a xp10 user with no payware scenery and a gtx 760 card
Q8Pilot thanks for replying my comment, but I don't really care I am okay with the default ones but I'll be happy if you can tell how can I make it work.
Installing unique clouds: When I paste the resources folder into xplane 11 folder, it asks me if I wish replace the already existing resources folder. Do I replace it? The only other option is to cancel.
Thanks. I notice once I have done that, the next download directions (for soft cloud art) becomes an issue. The new Resources folder doesn't have sky colours. Resources/bitmaps/world/clouds. Do I put it in clouds?
Even worse. Now my xplane won't start. I wish I hadn't replace the resources folder but perhaps shifted it somewhere else. I don't know what to do now :(
Haha, I don't think I can help there. I am heading IT Operation, Infrastructure and support at local bank. I can get you to meet our investment guys, but I will not be of any use to you =)
Have you tried Ortho4XP? many people recommend it but looks it is heavy on hard drive space. I noticed in your other video that roads next to Schiphol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6O4yfEitLLs.htmlm17s were weird so wondering if ortho4xp would solve that
Hi. I would like to send you a message but RU-vid's limit to 1,500 characters max prevents me to send you the message. Can you provide an email please? Thank you.
