A tool that helps simmers to make the most eye-catching virtual flight experience in X-Plane 11. Supports Vulkan and OpenGL modes of X-Plane 11.50-11.55r1.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
xVision Vulkan edition supports X-Plane versions 11.50-11.55r1.
Some functionality of xVision (shader tweaks) may be broken in next X-Plane releases.
One of significant part of xVision (shader tweaks) based on undocumented and unsupported X-Plane interface. Shaders are "bleeding edge" technology and may be changed by developers with next release of X-Plane in an arbitrary manner. Such changes may cause one or even all shader tweaks malfunction. Please take this into account when considering purchasing/using xVision.
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.
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). You can download a solution from the/a file, save, rename, make your own packages. Use solutions created by simmers, create your own solutions, share your work with other people. It's easy: each solution is a single file, not a bunch of different files that should be installed in different directories with different conditions.
Main features:
Simple and user-friendly
Strict control of X-Plane core shaders integrity and easy recovery original X-Plane shaders and visual resources.
Detailed illustrated help on each tweak and its parameters.
Implemented a detailed error logging system that will help to identify the problem(s) and fix them right away.
Customisable skin of tool interface with hiDPI support.
Easy to start: xVision installation package contains four ready-to-use complete solutions with tweaks, scripts and textures.
No FPS penalty. Works with Virtual Reality.
X-Plane shaders tweaks
19 different tweaks with fully customisable options for clouds, lighting, terrain, atmosphere, water adjustments.
Post-processing effects. It does work with Virtual Reality environment
Post-process effects that can be used natively in X-Plane without external utilities.
Sepia, Curves, Levels, LiftGammaGain, Technicolor, Vibrance, LumaSharpen, DPX Cineon, Tonemap and more... adapted for X-Plane renderind engine.
Brightness, contrast, saturation adjustments.
Separate effects and adjustments for whole scene and for virtual cockpit.
Each post-process effect can use X-Plane specific variables that provide the additional flexibilty.
Visual resources and scripts management
Lua scripts for FlyWithLua plugin management.
Flexible visual resources installer (skycolors, clouds, spot lights, water textures and more...)

All installed and using Orbyx True Earth and the Nordic extreme solution, this is simply outstanding. I have dabbled with MSFS2020 and being honest, I personally think the visual effects of the scenery in XP11 are easily on par if not better using this updated version.
What I notice more than anything are my frame rates, which I can now put my graphics setting up to max in most areas. using the standard X Vision, this was not possible. It must be to do with the Vulkan drivers.
If you do not own X Vision yet and are sitting on the fence, I would recommend purchasing this. If you already have the previous version, upgrading is a no brainer. You will not need any other shader program. just X plane, this and Active Skies for a vastly improved experience.
10/10
As it was with version 1, this is a great "must have" add-on for X-Plane. I really enjoy using it, allows for much more vibrant colors and looks, I like it. Also very easy to use and a dev that usually is quick to update when XPlane updates arrive.
Also no loss of performance, which is great - all in all highly recommended. Using it with "X-Visibility" makes for the perfect "poor man" xEnviro.
The best I have ever done to my XP11 installation. Great visuals and top performance too. No problems with VR. Forget the other programms which change shaders and clouds (and I tried them all). THIS is the best.
The only thing you need is this and Active Sky XP. Even the stock clouds are looking beautiful :-)
The night lighting blows you away.
Well done Sir.
I was a little bit like "really!" when I saw I was going to have to pay for Vulkan support for X Vision. But if I knew what the result would have been I would have happily payed double! I've never seen X Plane look so good! A big update from X Vision 1. This is a must have for serious X-Plane user. Coupled with Active Sky you won't need any other visual addons or tweaks. X Vision team you have created an amazing tool. Thank You!
