We have found 5 different light packages, which will improvise your sim. We have gone over all packages and we have chosen to use the light from Richard for the main file in our sim. But you can test it out, and you may like the others.

Enhanced Cloudscapes Beta

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 11.50+ and 2 major operating systems - Windows and Linux. It is an open source freeware, and finally in beta phase!

Cloud Art

This "replace-on" will replace the textures of clouds and sky colors. It will also tweak the lighting and environment of X-plane to compliment the clouds. FPS has minimal impact on "Fast" versions.

xVision v2

If you have ever developed your X-Plane visuals, you know that good results can be achieved only by using good textures and FlyWithLua plugins.
xVision offers you a quick and convenient way to control these resources without manually editing/copying files or any other confusing rubbish.
Furthermore, xVision tool allows you to make adjustments (tweaks) to X-Plane shaders.

Each xVision solution consists of three interrelated parts that affect the visual component of virtual flights: textures, Lua scripts and shader tweaks. All three components could be understood as a coherent whole (package).

Star Bright

I have always thought that the x-plane stars in night sky were a little too bright and I doubt that you would see so many if you were looking out from inside the cockpit.

So I present here some replacement star 'dat' files.
You can have stars from 100 times fainter than normal, up to 10,000 times brighter, although I think that the sky would only look like this if we lived inside a globular star cluster.
