Its been a while since I've posted X-Plane 10 shots, so here are some of the freeware Rafale around NYC area.

Beautiful shots!

You're in a French plane over NY and you didn't take a shot of the Statue of Liberty?

Great pics though, that night shot over the water is awesome!

Wow, some of the best XPX shots I've ever seen!

Were those edited at all?

Skymaxx Pro 2.0?

Thanks,
No, not edited. It's xp10 with some add-on's including the newly released sky max 2.0 which adds some nice cloud shadows. I haven't used xp10 in a while and wanted to try out the latest updates.

Rob

Very nice

Interesting...

So does Sky Max change the overall lighting, or is it just a weather thing?

I ask because usually XPX pics have a bit of a "washed out" look to them, as though the entire game happens under florescent lighting. In your shots, the game looks essentially like DCS, which is something I can very much get behind.

I think this thread has officially pushed me to get back into XPX

Hang on I've got a couple people I need you to blow up as long as you're there

As far as I know it does not change the lighting. Just clouds, cloud Shadows, crepuscular rays and lens flair. There is another product that does Sky colors, but I dont use it. Too many good freeware versions to choose from.
If you take the time to play with it, you can make XP look like anything you want. The question is if you want to spend the time with it. Many do not want to bother.
