It's C74.net, here: http://www.c74.net/xplane/_a_Velocity_XL.html

Mind you it is not up there with Carenado in terms of visual quality, the virtual cockpit is blurry when compared to other add-on Xplane11 aircraft I have, like the Carenado PC12 or Aerobask Eclipse.  But the GPS's are popups and I feel I have received my entertainment value for what I paid, since no one else has modeled the single engine Velocity to any detail other than a half hearted FSX effort by some unheard of vendor.  I saw the Velocity at Copper State Airshow in Casa Grande Arizona, a friend of mine who wanted to become a VFR rated pilot was just Gaga over it, we were both web developers and colleagues working for Best Western.  Me, I loved ultralights and Light Sport on the low end and bizjets on the high end.  Copper State is a fun airshow every October, they moved from Casa Grande to Falcon Field in Mesa AZ where I trained in Light Sport.  It is akin to Oshkosh or Sun n Fun, on a slightly smaller scale...

I am using Xplane11's standard cloud settings, that's all, set at a certain thickness I prefer...
