I gotta say, IвЂ™m pretty disappointed by SkyMaxx Pro at this point.ДЇorcing a refresh of FSGRW depicts the same weather system somewhat differently, but still fast in place instead of uniform for the whole sim. Going back to default weather depicts a large system of clouds behind my current position, just as it should be. After fiddling around with the different kinds of cloud layers SkyMaxx is able to draw, I change the depiction of overcast layers from вЂњsolid stratiformsвЂќ to вЂњsparse particlesвЂќ, which makes a lot more sense for the current weather (broken layer at 3000 ft, solid layer at 4000 ft, broken layer at 40000 ft). ItвЂ™s quite striking, if not for two things: One, the weather report does not actually include a solid cloud layer above my altitude of 10000 ft, and two, the blue sky shows between the horizon and the cloud layer. A solid grey sheet of clouds blocks the view of the sky above. This is a beautiful part of the country!ДЄnd then, boom, weather change. Then, the Appalachian Mountains are slowly appearing on the horizon. This airplane is designed to fly in the low teens anyway, and all this low-and-slow cruising is just wasting fuel, really.ДЇor the whole duration of my climb, I follow Allegheny River with itвЂ™s scenic bends and turns in the hilly countryside. IвЂ™ll fly nice and high to avoid the bad weather. The weather is still nice, although the weather report predicts clouds in our flight path. The airport is beautiful and IвЂ™m sure they are enjoying the scenery as much as I do. Well, my passengers donвЂ™t need to know this. Turns out, I simply planned for a different assignment than the one I actually loaded. I buy them a coffee while I try to figure out what went wrong. When I finally arrive at Venango Regional (KFKL), I realize that my passengers didnвЂ™t actually want to go here.

Still, the combination of SkyMaxx and FSGRW works well so far. They still change the whole weather moment-to-moment, as opposed to simulating spatially stable weather systems that you can fly in and out of. So how about we add FSGRW to the mix? Weather transitions become noticeably smoother. One seconds itвЂ™s broken cumulus clouds and blue skies, the next itвЂ™s overcast and grey. What has been seen before are the abrupt weather changes. On the way, SkyMaxx Pro shows really nice overcast weather, that has hitherto been unseen in X-Plane. Akron Canton Regional is actually a very beautiful airport in X-Plane, with static airplanes and nice scenery thanks to the new additions from the Scenery Gateway. Picking up passengers in Akron works without a hitch.

This is how itвЂ™s going to be here, too, it seems, and that is good! I remember from my PPL lessons that I constantly switched hands on the joystick, and really mostly flew with my left hand. Just like in the real world, my left hand is. But if my right hand is operating the throttles, who is operating the joystick? The thing is: Just like in the real aircraft, I put the throttles to the right of the joystick, which means I operate them with my right hand. This time IвЂ™m more careful with my run-up, and get airborne without incident.ДЇlying with a physical throttle quadrant is indeed much more difficult than I anticipated. ItвЂ™s a good thing the mechanics in FSEconomy work really fast, and it only takes minutes to get my plane up and running again. I immediately and unwittingly recreate this in X-Plane by firewalling the throttle, and thus breaking the engine. My first leg will carry me to Akron Canton Regional (KCAK), where IвЂ™ll pick up four Corporate Charters to Venango Regional (KFKL).Д«ut this day is not looking good: FSEconomy reports that my engine broke down due to a random failure. On the upside, SkyMaxx Pro 3 has since become available, and I am very much looking forward to trying that out! Also, I got myself a set of throttle levers, which should help me get a grip on my engine management. Deja Vu much? And to add insult to injury, all the nice jobs that would carry me further east from this airport have since expired, and I am left with no jobs available. So now, a week later, the battery is empty again. Last time I left the airplane, I intended to get back in the cockpit a few minutes later.
