Ah yes ;-(. So the demo is not for me. I can only try the EC.

I will demo when I get home tonight but from what I am reading to make compatible with XVision one should use a non-lua preset?  Instead of Impressive for lua just use impressive and then disable scattering/fog/clouds options in XVision?

Is this plug-in compatible with UWXP? Tried to look for an answer myself, but I am away from home so the demo couldn’t help me. So curious… Sorry

I think it is only compatible with ASXP.    I switched to Reshade to get a good look back using the Blvxed preset.  However will see how my Xvision works too.  Not done that yet.

This is really a game changer for X plane weather.  I love this plugin with Active Sky XP.  The dev is super responsive on his discord if you have any questions or issues Paulvanuf.  It is a real bargain at 15.00 USD.  Oh by the way there is a free demo you can use first.

Cheers!

No, UWXP is a cloud rendering plugin not a weather provider. It works with NOAA for XP, ActiveSky, any other plugin that provides separate weather data to the simulator. 

I must be doing something wrong but I just cannot get it to work with XVision (Nordic preset). I get a CTD on loading the flight. Has any one managed to do so? Maybe it needs a custom preset to be written but that's beyond me. It works with Active Sky but I'm yet to see more than one cloud layer or any cirrus. I'll maybe try a fresh install of XP.

I can confirm I am getting 3 layers and it looks pretty good for initial impressions.

I'm using the Impressive solution but disabled scattering/fog/clouds.  However, I've not had a crash except when I rapidly changed time of day (using a hotkey).  But I've had that happen before using just Xvision.  Maybe there's something with the Nordic solution.  Be sure not to use the Lua script.

Looks like one layer to me? Active Sky?

I was at home for lunch so no time for flight but I took the free camera up and there were three distinct layers at the elevations reported in the metar from ASXP.  I think it's hard to tell layers from the ground perspective as they will blend in as you look up.

Well it's a job to say. The lighting and shadows are non existent. Not a great screenshot to be honest. The ground textures and the lighting are just rubbish. Check out the building! Lol. Too little too late imo. Roll on XP12.

One thing I forgot to check was whether these clouds cast ground shadows.  I won't be able to check until later.  Maybe someone else can confirm.

From my pic above they are either very faint or non-existent which would be a bummer.

ES never intended to change lighting or shadows though - so I have no idea why you think ES is to blame for that. Either case, it is indeed too little and maybe too late, given X-Plane 12 will definitely look better than what I have implemented. But it is something, something that I have spent my 2 years on, hence I find your "rubbish" and "small puddle of rubbishy clouds" remarks very unfair.
