For some reason FSX doesn't pull in "real world" weather, though the wind changes as if it does!All I get is clear blue skys in Papua New Guinea, and then checking with a real world weather site, its normally broken cloud latelyMy question is, do these payware weather engines, ie "Active sky" etc pull in real weather independantly of FSX, or do they just "pretty up" ordinary FSX so called "real" weather?Why microsoft ignores PNG is puzzling, as there are real world weather staions thereThanksMerv

Hi,We pull in weather from outside weather sources and then send it to FSX.Thanks!

So with Active sky, I would get real, "real weather" as its independant weather sources, right? Then I see on your website, theres about 4 or 5 "Active skys", which one do I choose, I need nothing fancy, just proper weather in PNGThanksMerv

OK. Here is a flight I just did using Active Sky Advanced (ASA) for Moro AYMR in the southern highlands by Lake Kutubuto Port Moresby AYPYscott s..

I fly a lot here using ActiveSky X. For screenshots, see my review of "True Grit" on the front page.

Yep, i've got Raw Grit, very enjoyable, thats why I wanted some proper weather, and "Scots" pictures show the kind of weather I expect in PNGSo I 'spose I will be fumbling for my cc very soon! Thanks Merv

Merv,You'll probably want ASX if you use FSX only. If not then ASA.Thanks,
