The quality of the streamed imagery has gotten really bad, what used to look like ZL16/17 now looks like ZL14/15 at best. Shame really, used to love this app, I mean it still works but it's like it's nudging it's users to move to the payware version.

My favorite XPlane addon so far. Thanks for the Mac-version. Works flawlessly on my Mac-studio m4Max. I'm using the pro-version and couldn't be happier.

The latest versions from 4.02 to later use a lot of RAM.
