Is AS going to develop for X-Plane…? My memory is short…
yep!
I picked up xEnviro last night because I am a flight sim add-on w–re 
I’d like to blame that on @PaulRix, but since we are all here for therapy, I felt it better to be honest about the matter.
Here are a few screens with the default settings, departing from default KPIT (no ortho), which was reporting 10k overcast. When I climbed out, the bottom cloud layer pretty much matched METARS.
Edit: I notice in the 1st and 2nd shot that the ceiling looks a lot lower. I’m not sure if that was actually the case, but when I turned to the S and climbed, I didn’t really go IMC until around 10k.

Nice shots Dan. I hope you like X-Enviro as much as I do.
Thanks Paul. So far it seems to be an improvement over SMP and the default weather engine. I began flying real weather a couple of months ago, and really prefer that over rolling my own. So not an issue. Will be interesting when AS is released to compare all of them.
Maybe Active Sky will be better, but I’m sure that X-Enviro won’t be sitting on their hands between now and when AS releases. If it proves to be significantly better, I might be tempted to switch, but we will see. To my knowledge, there hasn’t been any news on the XP version of AS other than the announcement that they will be working on one. It’s probably months away at the earliest.
…but you’re landing backwards. 
Most of the time the air traffic coming into KSAN is coming in from the other direction. Makes for some great scenery on the approach, as you fly over Balboa Park, downtown, and the Midway.

Lots of MAJOR WIP’s and New Event’s there! I’m glad I haven’t dropped $70US (about $87 CDN) on xEnviro yet. That price is ludicrous.
LOL! Only on landings though! Any other time, may the wind be always at your back.
And when landing may it always be on your nose. A headwind isn’t a bad thing if you are landing on a short runway.
No worries, Denzel could land that with his eyes closed and one arm tied behind his back.

The Velocity V-Twin - it’s about as good an airplane as you can get for X-Plane 11 right now in the piston category…just fantastic…

Oh boy, we have two X-Plane Screen threads going now … both sporting X-Plane 11 content. Here’s the other one …
Should they get merged or what? It’s like living in a parallel universe.

Hopefully that did it…! If I break something while @fearlessfrog is away, he will revoke my parking card…
