Do some magic 🙂 Dosen’t matter if it’s ugly, we will love it for the first time.
X-plane is one of the best thing in my life 😉

Very little disappoints me with this sim, but upper level winds, layers, and general weather transitions from one reporting area to the next leave a lot to be desired.

As easy as that, Ben. You magician, you. No doubt the trick is quite ugly. But I’m optimistic about the results, given the thought behind it.

They are possible at some point in the future, yes. I have never ruled them out – my main concern is that they need to be part of a coherent, self-consistent material and lighting model (which is how PBR integrates them), not a one-off trick.

Thanks guys, we are eager to experiment with new Magic!

If not annoying, we could advance an estimate of when beta 10.30 will come out?
