Couple of questions:
How’s it look from above the clouds?
and
Can I evaluate it?
and
If I let my subscription lapse, can I still access the maps, etc? Or will those throw errors/ not load? How is that handled?
I’m evaluating it now, it seems powerful.
But is it possible to access, at runtime from blueprint or code, at the keyframed properties of the sky and clouds?
I have to agree. Also, the ambiguity about the licensing terms and lack of response from the developer in forum isn’t exactly giving me reason to plop down a chunk of money.
It’s tough to justify the price when the engine it’s running in is about the same price, and it has a LOT more in the way of features
Totally. I’d be on it in a second if that were the case. I’m DYING to put my “Personal Jet” map to the test! My environment right now is pretty… lackluster
