and we all know how they at first all pulled down your framerate.

XEnviro have wanted to move to volumetric clouds and away from the slideshow image base, the cloud image way was actually not bad, because it was extremely efficient, the problem with volumetric clouds is that they are very processor hungry, note to Laminar's famous cloud 'puffs'. it is always the total feel and look factor that really delivers here. As noted 圎nviro is not even close to being an acceptable product, but even in this situation it is absolutely brilliantly good, as it is in the exceptional feel and look that it delivers to the simulator, that 圎nviro delivers almost perfect visual realism feedback. The developers also have made a very long statements about the condition of the release and in that they are still wrestling with certain conditions (as we shall see) but think that at least we should at least (after waiting years) to get a working weather engine. still extremely buggy but at least finally workable.Ī note in that because 圎nviro is only available with real world weather (no history or save weather conditions) then this quick overview look at the new release is bound by the weather conditions I can find, as more different conditions come up I will add them in as they become available. so we waited, and waited and well waited.

nah crap, v1.09 even more crap with seriously bad shadows on the aircraft (greyed out). well v1.07 anyway which is currently over two and a half years old. I will put my hand up and say I am a big fan of 圎nviro, in reality it is absolutely everything I am against in buggy software, but I still use it. The ping pong story of 圎nviro is going to be one for the grandkids, but we are holding in there and the release of v1.10 is at least a step forward. These are my top 5 faves based on their performance and the detail of the cockpits.DarkSpace has released an updated new version of their environmental engine 圎nviro to v1.10. JFK and all of the Manhattan scenery is really cool for starters, providing your renderings and system will allow for a good experience. I'll post some of my faves when I get a chance. There are a lot of good planes so maybe this could be a springboard for you.Īs far as air ports, that's all just preference of where you want to fly.

All have 3D cockpits and all are pretty great. There are small private, airliners and military. Here are links to some of my favorite planes.
