Hehe, It's huuge and I don't have the Internet capacity to upload it. Editing it takes too much time. I'll get some soon. Or I'll at least try to.

noooch Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The clouds seem more refined or is it just me? The question was asked during the last stream but we couldn't hear your answer clearly: besides optimization, what kind of work remain until release?

cfrankling Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Don't know if it is just me but in certain angles, bottom of clouds seem to be resting on top of a flat transparent surface. They look too flat on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kitten Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 b48, b50 & b51beta testers screenshots I will be on a business trip to Denmark this weekend and not able to post any progress screenshots or updates. I'll be back next week and hopefully have some good news for you guys. A further analogy Nurburgring update might be done upon request. And a small insight in to what we have left to work on. When I'm back that is. For now, take care 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibz Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 That's the first shot I've seen of the sun reflection on the water. It's totally awesome, very realistic! I hope your trip goes well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look too flat on the bottom. What are you talking about? That's the way clouds look. The base of a cloud is flat. The reason for this is, that is because clouds are formed, when vapor in the atmosphere condense. This process is depended on certain factors like temperature / altitude, air-pressure and water saturation of the air. Because of these physical factors, you will always see cloud bases as flat (since this is the altitude, that water vapor begins to condense) and the various cloud layers will always be at the same height. Depended on the composition of the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still on my way home from my trip so don't consider this a thorough update. Just wanted to share three screens from this weekend's progress.

Bakr Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) lovely and lively please ensure the product scales well with multi-GPU before release. earlier releases - the clouds where looking like cotton... but now we can really see the effort put on cloud definition starting to show up Edited March 25, 2019 by Bakr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the Developer's latest Blog Posthttps://developer.x-plane.com/2019/03/vulkan-and-metal-a-quick-status-update/ VULKAN is opening the door for multi-CPU/GPU .. it will be mainstream reality soon. so we hope that ADDONS like Xenviro - is pre-planned (once VULKANISED) to make the bre-built core optimizations to harness that technology to the fullest -- it is all about code optimization.

We are prepared for vulcan. Thats about the extent I am going in to that part of development. To add to this we will not concentrate on anything else than getting this release on its feet. Anything delaying release is not in any form of priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything delaying release is not in any form of priority. Thanks for the update - we 'community' are more than happy to hear that. on the same lane, the LM dev team are focused on migration to Vulkan API as much as possible on AS-IS basis - to make product stand on it feet (sit in the plane), the next subsequent releases are going to be performance and multi-cpu/gpu optimization ... so we are very eager to see how the marriage of x-plane and xenviro are going to surprise us towards maybe q2~q4 2019 -- a whole new era for simmers with solid graphics and exceptional performance and quality....fusion... On different note - well exnviro support the sunset effect as in this video - whereby the sun at horizon lights the clouds from below as per viewers perspective. The reason i brought my wish for having Vulkan and Multi-GPU is because i know the dev team is fully capable to bring to life all these realistic-touches - and let the dreams of simmers soar higher ... but are bound with the commitment to make the product running as smooth on the average consumer hardware. (we know some trade offs will be required) Keep amazing us at the threshold ... Edited March 26, 2019 by Bakr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanmancz Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Disappointing update. When it was announced that there's going to be news released soon I expected something concrete. Otherwise why even announce news update when there's nothing new to say? Edited March 26, 2019 by lanmancz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
