With the new official 11.30 released recently, it was time to move forward and to really take advantage of the X-Plane potential!
Until now I was using the excellent FSEnhancer plugin created by Enrico Del bono available here:

The visual experience was already really great.
After being on the fence for quite a long time, I decided to give a go to xVision and Ultra Weather XP which are both compatible with the official 11.30 update of X-Plane.
I must admit that this is a winning combination. The UWXP clouds and sky textures sets really improve the native X-Plane textures and cherry on the cake, are FPS friendly. The colors of the sky including some sunglare effects are simply gorgeous!
The xVision plugin is a game changer by itself: it drastically changes the appearance of the simulator and I did not notice any FPS impact. The colors look real, closer to reality in comparison with the default X-Plane environment. With UWXP, the clouds shadows are just insanely immersive and provide a nice contrast that reinforces the overall visual realism.
Here below are few screenshots of both plugins working together.
