Hi, I have been using FSX for 2 years now and want to try FS9. Hope the frame rates are better than I an getting now with FSX. Any good weather ad-ons to buy for FS9? I have Active sky for FSX and REX 2.GregQ9550, EVGA 780i MB, EVGA (2)9800GTX 512 cards in SLI Mode, 8 gigs of Corsair ram. Liquid cooled CPU, 800 watt power supply.

What version of Activesky do you have ASX or ASA/E ?ASA and ASE are for FS9 and FSX also AS6.5 is compatable with both sims, ASX is only for FSXFor FS9 I use AS 6.5 or FSMeteo Version 8. FSMeteo 8 is very underrated in my opinion, very straightforward and lightweight app.AS6.5 is the best of the Hifi offerings, though some may disagree with that statement.

Active Sky X and Graphics X

FSmetar works great, some of the most eye-appealing depictions I've seen (and I have ASA/ASE also), you can download historical weather for use in FSmetar here.Jim

I use ASE myself, but having said that, I heard FSmetar is a great program. Some folks even seem to prefer it over the payware programs. I really enjoy ASE though (I have never used FSmetar). I would probably check out FSmetar first before spending the money, it never hurts to see what's out there.
