INSTALLATION

Warning: Make sure to make a backup of each folder before overwriting! I have created a “Backup” folder for this purpose.

Unzip the file and you should see 4 folders inside (“Backups”, “clouds”, “Scripts”, “skycolors”) as well as the Changelog and README.

_ _ _ _ _

Step 1: Clouds

Move the ” cloud ” folder to ” x – plane 11 / resource / bitmap / world/ ” and overwrite .

_ _ _ _ _

Step 2: Skycolors

Move the “skycolors” folder to “X-Plane 11/Resources/bitmaps/” and overwrite.

_ _ _ _ _

Step 3: FlyWithLua

Download FlyWithLua here:

Unzip the folder and move it to “X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/” and make sure to delete “please read the manual.lua” in “FlyWithLua/Scripts/”.

Move “Y_Clouds_4/Scripts/Y_Clouds_4.lua” to “X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/FlyWithLua/Scripts/”. 

If you have installed the vivid_sky script already, make sure to overwrite the old one with my new script.

_ _ _ _ _

Optional

Move “Y_Clouds_V3/Scripts/Water preset by Allan RIVIERE version 1.3.lua” to “X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/FlyWithLua/Scripts/” if you want better water.

Move ” Y_Clouds_V3 / script / WhiteoutInClouds_v1.1f.lua ” to   ” x – plane 11 / resource / plugin / flywithlua / scripts/ ” if you do n’t want a ” whiteout ” effect while pass through cloud .

Check that you do not have conflicting scripts!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

And you’re done! Run X-Plane 11, pick an aircraft and location of your choice, enjoy!
