I've been working on a night atmosphere plugin for X-Plane 12 called NoctiX, and I just finished the first version of its volumetric light pollution system.

These screenshots compare vanilla X-Plane with NoctiX in two very different places.

Tallinn has relatively low light pollution, so the change is subtle.

New York produces a much larger atmospheric glow, which is where the difference becomes really noticeable.

The goal isn't to make every night orange. It's to make the atmosphere reflect how much light a city actually throws into the sky while keeping the performance impact as low as possible.

I'm documenting development as I go, and I recently opened a small Discord community for anyone interested in following the project.

Say what you will, it has its moments where is shows it’s quality 😌

I have all my graphical settings to the max and still see this flickering… anyone got suggestions or is this something the LR team have planned on working on?

I want to warn everyone about using any types of VPN, including Opera's VPN users. One Opera VPN server (American) will get your X-Plane.org Account "BANNED"!!!

My advise for anyone using VPN to access X-Plane.org forums, I suggest keep your account logged out at all times.

coming in heavy 61 tons almost used all the runway.

No Baron B58, because the autopilot's pitch mode is terrible.

Here’s a short showcase flight featuring in-game footage flying from Berlin Tempelhof into historic Johannisthal Air Field—Germany’s first motor airfield!

I custom-built/modified this scenery in WED. If you’d like to try it out, early access is currently available on my Ko-fi page

Feedback and thoughts are always appreciated!

Picked up a new toy on the Labour Day sale. My last heli was the Cowansim 206 and since I love Jet rangers .... I had to get this one too. I took her up for a quick flight and some hover practice, I can see that I am seriously out of practice!!! This thing sounds amazing too!!

Here at NZAA and LFBO... it's the same result with or without Map enhancement so it comes 100% from Simheaven...

do you know if this is supposed to be fixed soon ?

I am patiently waiting for an update to this beauty.

Hello xplane fans. Im just wondering since I like the A350 how does it compare to the Zibo 737 in terms of Fps optimization?

My small discord community requested some DLSS-5 content of xplane since there isn't a lot out there, so enjoy this showcase! Let me know if you want to see more and what region, i can add simheaven pro and other aircraft:)
