qwqaholic Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hey Captain Kitten, Would you mind giving us an update and some info about how the weather simulation differs? What changes have been made to the weather simulation side of xEnviro? Are the in-air effects being fine tuned? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kitten Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 b75 Many obsticles have been overcome lately and RC candidate is coming closer. Next week will be hell for several team members and we're unsure if we can make a lot of progress. We'll hang in there once we get time but we'll see. b75 looks great and I hope it won't throw that many bugs back at us during testing. This is over London by the way. with GBSouth by ORBX and I'm hovering around 30-40 fps. Getting there 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving these shots and the fact it's getting closer to an RC :) Please can you confirm which GPU you use for that frame rate (as you've previously confirmed that XE is dependent on GPU). I did a search in the forum and you mentioned a 1070 in one post but I didn't know if that was your spec or the spec of one of the beta testers machines.

Captain Kitten Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 b78 Here you can see the grain we have been fighting and still will be fighting after release. The only remedy is better performing systems and environment for xEnviro to work in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavakoli Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Looks actually awesome!!! Looking forward to this product. Xe is an absolute pioneer for going real volumetric. We should accept that there will be some visual “grain”. I will have definitely no problem at all with that fact and will always support and enjoy this great program!!!

NickNägler Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Speechless. I am speechless. The work and effort you have put into that addon the past year is amazing, just try to keep it up. Still everyday I visit xenviro.net and treshold too look for news and maybe even a release - been doing that since march, wow time has gone by quickly. Everyday we come closer to the release guys! I cannot wait anymore though. That screenshots looked amazing. Cant wait to fly through these clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kitten Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Personally I like the xEnviro night sky colours better than the mix in with the default night sky, but you'll have the option now to see stars - albeit somewhat with a compromize - until we start working on night environment which will be a later update. Night environment will be a complete overhaul of the dusk til dawn hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jg175 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Honestly weeks go by when I stop using XPL because the bad weather add ons out there turn me off. I resort to using default weather which is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavakoli Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Thank you Captain Kitten for the info regarding night sky. Nice to know that there will be a compromise and we will have the option to see stars in 1.10. Even I am still very happy with my 1.07 at this moment, BUT really looking forward to the the release of 1.10. Love this product! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In referring to the future planned "night environment enhancements": This is a small wish list to bring more life to that spatial environment: Aurora effect for north/south regions: https://spacetourismguide.com/best-places-see-southern-lights/ this work well with volumetric voxel-based visualization model. accurate moon/sun motion model - capturing solar/lunar eclipse - red moons - blue moons... Meteor Showers or random meteor fireworks over landmark cities. different types of lightning : intra-cloud / ground to sky / sky to ground Maybe sometime towards XE 1.11 (wishful thinking) Edited May 30, 2019 by Bakr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jg175 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 WOW THE ATMOSPHERIC LIGHTING IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Amazing guys really amazing thank you. Yes there is grain here and there. You guys took a risk and went into uncharted territory of development that most devs don't have the cojones to do so. thank you and I hope the community keeps supporting this product. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
