The clouds are very customizable as you may see in other competitors like UltraWeatherXP, indeed the settings are almost the same.

XAmbience features several cloud textures that the user can set through the menu, all of them have a good detail.

You can watch it later on into this article. Indeed, their new plugin xAmbience allows the use to customize almost each parameter of the atmosphere, from lights to waves.īefore we go deeper in the review, let me thank X-Planer that produced a very good mountage for our review. The key word behind the massive work done at HST must be: customization. Among great clouds and lots of sliders to play with, waiting still seems to be the best choice.

More flying/testing needed to know for sure, however XE seems to show the best looking high altitude of the bunch again, but seems to be missing an overcast layer (too many holes, but SMP had holes at this altitude too, just not as widespread).7 Conclusions xAmbience, one of the latest weather enhancement plugin is finally out. RWC at 35,000 feet seems to be throwing in an extra layer. SMP with NOAA plugin (RWC disabled) SMP with NOAA at 6000 feet SMP with RWC at 6000 feet XE at 6,000 feet SMP with NOAA at 35,000 feet SMP with RWC at 35,000 feet XE at 35,000 feet (5 fps better than SMP here)efault with Mods at 35,000 feet So it felt like from a ground level standpoint and maybe even with these 6,000 foot shots, perhaps the NOAA plugin ALONE was doing better than RWC. Default with NOAANow I left NOAA enabled and retried SMP to see if it would pull NOAA data and make a better picture.

Comparison Round 2 So I followed up and did one more set of shots based on updated Metar data: Metar online is showing: While SMP Metar (looking in the XP flight settings) (shows clouds at 5,000 feet and then higher up overcast at 8750)Resulted in this SMP image with RWC enabled again (more cloud cover this time much closer to the ASN shot in the slideshow above): SMP with RWC (round 2) 圎nviro (Round 2 about the same frame rate) Below is the Metar Report that NOAA shows and the Default depiction (with my mods and Clouds V1.4), which is pretty close to the real report if not exact. I think perhaps it was just missing the overcast layer. I should have checked the metar in RWC to see if matched when I took these.
