(Purely my own) 1) It needs to be compatible with Active Sky and to be able to render more than one cloud layer including cumulus clouds and cirrus. 2) It needs to be compatible with XVision which I cannot do without and which would add better lighting and effects. I'm nearly sold!😀 I am using it with Xvision and ActiveSky without apparent issues. Had a couple Vulkan crashes in the last days, but those also happened before installing this plugin.

The add-on simply reads the injected clouds to X-Plane (by any weather engine), and it is able to render up to 3 layers, just like default X-Plane. It is semi-compatible with xVision other than Luas and fog & scattering shader tweak. I've been using it all afternoon and have never seen more than one cloud layer even though the AS Metar says otherwise? Maybe it's just bad luck. Edited September 20, 20214 yr by jarmstro

Most of the Luas won't have any effect anyway - ES renders its own custom sky and clouds PC specs: i5-12400F, RTX 3070 Ti and 32 GB of RAM.

What matters is not what AS METAR says but what AS injects to the simulator, what you get should match with what you see in the weather menu of X-Plane.

I have AS set to inject some cirrus but I don't see any with this plugin? And I've never seen more than one cloud layer? Also could you please let us know which XVision shader effects to disable? Thanks.

I can assure you that it works with ASXP and there are 3 layers of clouds drawn. I can post pics but I'm not near my computer. Update Just saw the pic posted and that's what I see on my screen.

September 20, 20214 yr If anyone confirms the usefulness of the EC in VR (preferably with a proposition of own user profile), I will also buy it. 😉 (1080Ti i7 8700K 32RAM)

This is why there is a demo and it can be re-used infinite amount of times. PC specs: i5-12400F, RTX 3070 Ti and 32 GB of RAM.

September 20, 20214 yr First EC attempt with xVision - unsuccessful. I have a dual image in VR view. What exactly options should be deselected in xVision settings ???
