About This File

This preset is now compatible with 11.5X however its not perfect/not the same as it was before. There isn't much of a noticeable difference in this version except the cloud colours at sunrise/sunset... they look a bit off. Long story short I did not modify this preset one bit. In fact i just downloaded X-Plane again one day ago (24/01/2021). I did attempt to fix some colours etc however its sort of impossible. Another thing to note is that most of the lua does not work... There probably is a solution to fix it so if any of you guys would want to attempt feel free to as I currently do not plan on buying the 'new' xvision program. This preset was made compatible by one of the x-vision dev's (Thanks to @Tobas319aka Bill for giving my old preset onto one of the xvision guys to fix it). Overall there is not a noticeable difference however, again its not perfect. I initially did not want to update as the 'new' xvision is payware. Luckily Bill knew one of the devs to fix it up. I did not want to leave you guys with nothing so here is the 11.5X version of the Ves Preset. I wont be updating this preset very regularly anymore. Thanks for your patience :) 

Installation: 

  1. Install the chosen file. 
  2. Head over to your downloads folder.
  3. Drag and drop the .xvs file into the root folder on x-vision. 
  4. Open up x-vision and load up the preset. 
  5. Apply the preset. 

From here you are good to go, it may take a few seconds but a message will be displayed on the bottom when x-vision finished applying.

This preset includes @allan97432 water textures: 

These are very nice water textures, if you do not have xvision they still work perfectly so i would highly recommend them.

@vesley your preset is really great, haven't seen such a thing in a while ! 
Just as a quick feedback, the new clouds have sometimes an unreal look as the edges look a bit to sharp !

I liked the clouds you had on 1.0.5 much better. 

Anyways, keep up the good work, we can even get better from this point on :) 

Response from the author:

Thanks dude! I can maybe try to do a few things here and there to make them less sharp, appreciate the feedback!

I just upgraded from 1.0.5 to 1.3 and its stunning. 1.0.5 was already very good and I never thought it could get better. The only thing that I can point out is that some clouds look more 2D in 1.3 than 1.0.5 as shown in the screenshot attached. Anyway, impressive work.

Great to see this preset back and running with X-Plane 11.5x and VULKAN as well. X-Vision 2.0 released an update today. It looks much better after the update but it is still not exactly how it was. Keep it up!

Definitely the best preset I've ever used - especially in the 1.4 version with the new beautiful sky colours and better clouds. It Doesn't even hit my framerate in any way, I recommend it.

Awsome preset. but the cloud not the same of the version 1.0.5 , the cloud look realy 2d . :(

 

Response from the author:

Thanks! That might be because i've made them a bit more transparent and they also have a higher res than the previous clouds, also previous clouds were 2d too lol i wish i could get some 3d clouds

After watching one too many Cpt Canada videos (is that even possible - of course not! :)), I finally decided to give this preset a try. Purchased xVision on sale for $10 today, loaded this up on the latest 11.41, fired up my Oculus Rift, and wow oh wow - this is it! This is pretty much how the real world looks when you combine this preset with Ortho4XP scenery. I took a quick trip from DCA to EWR with broken cumulus along the route, and the clouds felt real, the ground textures felt more real, the water looked more real... everything just felt... real!

The only ever so slight caveat is that the Dzrewicki NYC scenery doesn't look quite "right" with this. It might be the clouds, but the ground looked a bit more white than it should have - almost as if there was snow on the ground. But, that small quip aside, the entire trip was smooth, and what I've been looking for to cap off my X-Plane scenery has now been found with this preset. I will combine this with my own night light tweaks for the full day / night experience.

Very much looking forward to seeing what Ves accomplishes with 11.50 Vulkan!

Response from the author:

Hey! Glad you are enjoying the preset in your VR! Cheers :)

I haven't had better preset in my X-Plane 11. Extremely great thing! The textures are nice, looks really realistic and so and so.. But what I'd change is the early down/sunset textures, as they look a bit like default one.. Otherwise I can fully recommend it!

Hey @this is ves,

 

thank you for this great preset :)
What does the "earth_astro.dat"?

Cheers :)

Response from the author:

Hey and thanks glad you like it :) the 'earth_astro_dat' are the stars, ive added brighter ones for a more realistic view as default x plane stars are quite hard to see
