Xenviro

[theskyisthelimit99]

The bug i'm seeing with xp11 + Xenviro seems to be after you would crash for instance, the sim seems to stick the previous skyline, so it is like a ghost as you move your head, overlaying the reset screen.. only fix is to toggle xenviro or to reload the saved flight if you have one to reload.

A solution, although not the best, for the FPS drop is too reduce "detailed clouds" slider almost all the way left.
I got it at 20% now and that leaves me with approximately 25FPS when in very cloudy skies and NYC area..

I now understand the masking issue people are having.. i'm on the rift.. i dont see a workaround for this (the minimize trick does work to reveal the weather).. i may try the 1.04 version

edit: it does work (1.04).. leaving cloud settings at optimal is a killer though.. went from 46 on average at cybd (3840 with AA off in sim, 8x in FI) to 23.. (detailed range at 30 km).. set to 17km, i can hit 30

yep i paid $80 bucks on xenviro and cant use it because it absolutely murders the frame rates

I have the same problem with flyinside 1.71 for xp10 and xp11, xenviro will not work even tho i get the xenviro load screen, xplanes default weather will work in xplane 11 after a while i got a black screen and couldn't continue with my flight

Did you try version 1.04? It works for me, at least with the clouds.. though i get a distant horizon issue of a wall of clouds.. which should really be a layer of fog extending forward.. as here viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4142

I also noticed flying through the clouds, if you look, often they are a 2D sprite.. a literal wall turned sideways, highly unrealistic.. it may be this way in 2D as well, unsure.

1) Be sure to use xEnviro v1.04, like mentioned before.
2) Take a look at the last few lines of your xEnviro logfile in the XP-root directory. If it shows something like vis 0 satlev=0 then there is a problem with your activation and you need to file a ticket on their website. xEnviro is very sensible to hardware changes after activation. It's sufficient to change something in your bios or to change the SATA port of your SSD and xEnviro needs a new activation.

I'm curious developer thoughts on how Xenviro might be made to work better down the road.. ie: would this be a joint thing to get it working better or are there potential tweaks that will come in FI itself to make it more compatible.. fixing things like the weird fog cut off/wall on the horizon and other effects caused by the way xenviro does things (i suppose).

Its not so bad when there is no fog involved, but add a thick fog layer or a distant cloud set/fog.. and it begins to look pretty awful.

At any rate, keep up the good work on future FI updates.. i know this one is a work in progress (the P3D one works quite well now).

...aaaand I'm now actively in this boat... damn! Tryin 1.04 with atmosphere off seems to fix make xEnviro display in FI... still would be nice to have a working solution, not a workaround. I'll make sure to file a ticket with them! after all iit's 80-or-so USD...

So, I keep getting that 'wall of fog' thing while in FlyInside, seems to be random.

I have tried uninstalling xEnviro, but that didn't change anything, I still get that wall of fog.

PROTIP: Everything is set to CAVOK.

I have no idea why this is happening. Seems to me there's some broken glsl shader somewhere in Flyinside as on the last restart (without xEnviro) the cockpit and all 3d objects appeared black...
