Just some pics of the default FEX clouds from flight 1 no high res set yet here thats about at 700mb left outta 967mb from those update files ,i set the bush fire textures to give alittle smog look to the world ,looks very cool but the clouds are just amazing to me ,















no impact on flps that i could notice but these are at the very low detail sets so this is just going to get better 4 me i suppose

thanks guys for voting me last month screenshot comp and cheers Flight1 for a really great addon for FSX ,it really has made a world of difference already even though i still havent yet tapped into its good bits

Cool stuff Mike, looks like a pretty sweet add-on.

Yeah it really does add alot to the feel of things always has i think "clouds that is "this addon has just added more feel to them with smooth trans through , so much so you just float your way through them like you do in the real world , there is the high res versions in a update that have been previewed here on NZFF already that i just cant wait for but being such a big download this is painfully slow mite have to go reset the router and see if that gets faster ..
you wait till you see some of the water sets ,wow i set in the orbx set and man they look a really great greeny mud look that i think suits inner harbours on a ruff windy weather day ..

there is another set there called bush fire or something ,i like haze for my sim not only to help with frames but just seems right to have a little smog /foggy look to my sim world that this does well
to be honest ive only spent about ten min flying around on one set of settings and i know there is just so much more to it so im pretty blown away already with the low settings and default FEX settings straight outta the 700mb download ,from my understanding the update is just a extra 900mb part to it ,pretty cool really

Mate- those shots are bloody stunning. Really makes me miss playing FS!

Great shots mate, those clouds really do look excellent
They're very realistic looking and to not have much of a FPS hit is amazing.

Really good shots Creator2003

Good to see that somebody else has also had a lot of fun with FEX, I love it!!

smooth landings

Very nice and congrats on your win!

Now that is an envionment cloud pack definitely for me .. to give it the real deal test Mike what dose it look like over Beiing

Here ill check that out for you a bit later on today ive also got the high res textures now so ill do a before and after shot if i remember and also some water shots ,,yes i think this addon is for anyone wanting more outta the sim this would also include you Ian,you really do need this one from what ive seen it do already

just a quick question, does this work with real world weather? or the likes of Active sky X i have active sky x and it does a great job of the weather, but these clouds look awesome, so i think combining the two would be great, thanks

Well it does use the default weather engine so i cant see why not ActiveX only thing it would do is overwrite some texture but running AX would reinstall its texture set if you wanted them back etc because they are just loading them in each time you choose a texture set from another location ,well thats what i understand from it all ,often i use bits from here and there mix and match and ive never had any big probs a simple reinstall wont fix ..
im just installing the update and it does have a button something with weather on it that says it needs the update to work ..tell you what i find out soon

Woah! Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Yep, it would work. Just changes your cloud/sun/water textures, you're still able to use the likes of ActiveSky to tell the sim which textures to use.

Alex

Well i did as Ian asked and ive come up with new shots from china and seeing i had no scenery there i also went to Kai tak with different weather conditions
first lot are china ,there are real heavy shots and ones with a long distants setting on the looks like smog" the haze "











Kai tak














also a bonus i found out that you can make your own cloud haze and weather themes including water themes /you can use your own colours and just do about everything to make a real cool set ,,then i suppose you can share them as themes for this product ..very cool

I did ask .. and it looks flippin great .. it was just a test , and very impressed .. (Cough ) haha fooded yea .. cough .. time for some noodle . ....

And here is some from the NZCX scenery addon with the clouds and real world weather updates ,and should i just say all of these shots in this are non edited just cropped to size ..


















these are the bigger texture size sets at dx5 high res but still no deep impact on flps that i can see

JEPPERS ... Mike .. I think sooner ( maybe now ) than later for this addon .. this affects the water as well ? .. coastal looks impressive

Yep does the water aswell ,here are the menu and options control panel ,see its pretty deep or it can be

Cheers Mike .. Sooner appears to be now .... ( PS : no special effects added to my future screenshots ) .... ( Hic Hm Bullpuccky)
