   Enhanced Cloudscapes

   By BiologicalNanobot

   Hello,
   I have been working on a volumetric cloud replacement for X-Plane 11 since last two-three months, and finally managed to get visually appealing results. The plugin is not a weather engine, and it only replaces default X-Plane 11 clouds with volumetric ones, therefore it should be compatible with weather injection plugins like Active Sky XP. Currently it supports X-Plane 11.30+ and 2 major operating systems - Windows and Linux. It is an open source freeware, and finally in alpha phase!
   Note: Due to a "bug", right now the plugin only works out of the box with FSEnhancer or Cloud Art sky colors. For other sky colors, you might need to change the datarefs "enhanced_cloudscapes/sun_gain" and "enhanced_cloudscapes/ambient_gain" if clouds are too bright. Additionally, you need to reduce antialiasing setting all the way down to FXAA.
   You can check out the club page for feedback and support: 
   Also, if you want to support the project and my EEG research, please consider donating: https://www.patreon.com/VolumetricClouds
   (I am a biology major and get funded by my university for an EEG research project, at least to some degree. However I am still supposed to cover rest of the costs by myself, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am no longer able to do that. I was quite shy for asking for donations, and the pandemic is the only reason I ended up creating a Patreon account and making it public. However, I need to make it clear that the plugin will always be an open-source freeware, and there won't be any patron-only benefits other than early build access on the far future.)

   X-Visibility - Dynamic Haze Control

   By JordanChin

   Donation:
   If you would like to support me, you can always get me a coffee.
   https://www.paypal.me/JordanAChin
   
   For XP 11.25+
    
   This script provides dynamic haze/fog control based on reported visibility, providing smooth visibility transitions throughout all phases of flight. This means no "infinite" visibility the higher you get, no abrupt visibility changes and a realistic looking atmosphere based on reported visibility for the area.
    
   Features:
   
   * Smooth visibility transitions during all phases of flight
   * No white out/grey out/blue out when passing through clouds or at night (My older "No White Out In Clouds" script is no longer needed)
   * No more infinite visibility
   * More challenge in IMC conditions
   * Works with default weather (manual and real weather)
    
   Compatibility:
   * Not compatible with X-Enviro
   * Not tested with Ultra weather, disabling the haze options in that plugin should get it working with X-Visibilty theoretically
   * FSE v0.5 uses the older gradual visibility script in the TrueHaze.lua file. Remove all text below (or remove lines 122-288) --TRUEHAZE INTERNAL PARAMETERS and this script should work fine with FSE
   * If you are using the "No White Out In Clouds" script, please remove it as it is no longer needed
   Installation:
   This script was tested on X-Plane 11.25, and it requires the flyWithLua NG plugin available at:
   https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/38445-flywithlua-ng-next-generation-edition-for-x-plane-11-win-lin-mac/
   To install, place X-Visibility.lua in the following folder:
   <X-Plane installation path>\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts\
    
   Usage:
   There is no interface but it is possible to change some parameters of this script with the following lines:
    
   local plugin_on = true --enable plugin
   local debug_info = false --show debug info
   local atmoTop_visibility = 30480 --elevation to apply the max visibility, default is 30480 m
   local minFog_value = 0.6 --minimum fog value between 0.0-1.0, default is 0.6
   local atmoTop_Fog = 1.5 --fog value after passing atmoTop_visibility
   local highAltFogMult = 1 --reduce to 0.5 or 0.25 if you feel the haze at higher altitudes is too strong, default is 1
   Acknowledgements:
   Thanks to @SNowblind7 for his help testing this script and for his initial work in the gradualVisibility script from which this is built upon.

   Real XP X-Vision preset v1.0

   By Lufthansa2000

   Hi folks !
   Here is my X-Vision preset 🙂 !
   It adds "warm light" , realistic cloud contrast, rain fix and some more fixes...
   It also fixes the graphic bug, where the sun was "glowing" through the clouds during sunset (which was too bright).
   My Reshade config is highly recommended !
    
   X-Visibility is highly recommended !
    
   For clouds textures I use ASXP clouds.
   Cheers !
   The download in x-plane.org is also from me 😉
