Uh oh this don't look good for Real Environment X. Guess when this comes out I will be uninstalling REX and using Activesky 2012 for Weather and Textures Exclusively. http://www.hifitechinc.com/products/active-sky-2012

So we finally know what the picture some time ago showed. :( Looking forward to it. But well, i think it´ll be a very big package to download, so it`ll take ages to get it down.

Yes, but:1 - Not PMDG2 - It's in the wrong spot3 - It's just the equivalent of sticking their current wx radar gauge (in ASE) in a panel, on top of your engine gauges4 - Good luck troubleshooting engine problems.

they seem to be fast, just read that they try to release before the end of the year.

We are already working on product variations for XPlane 10, Prepar3D and FS9. When Flight SDK is available we will work on that as well.

My quetion for the Active Sky developer is, this.Aside from the new textures, interface etc.....will the AS 2012 offered anything new to the actual weathere simulation. I have had almost every version of Active Sky and I am a die hard fan of it, I consider it essential to my FS hobby, however I do own REX and I am very happy with it, but is there something in this new product for somebody that doesn't need textures or should I just stick with ASE?

Ron, if you want to talk to the guys at HiFi, you should use their forum. It's hosted right here, at AVSIM. http://forum.avsim.net/forum/171-hifi-simulation-software-support/

what an interesting question .... on behalf of all developers, yes you need to buy our new product. Do not stick with ASE.. buying the new product is the way to go.

Not necessarily. Since HiFi will continue to provide full support for ASE, there's no immediate need to switch to AS2012. Currently, we have ASE, but many people still prefer to use ASX, for example.Ron, from what I read about AS2012, there are improvements, upgrades and new functions added to AS2012. You have just to analize whether they'll make such a big difference for you, so that you'll have to get AS2012 ASAP, or if you can wait a bit more. ASE will still be supported by it's developers. Essenciatly, the brand new Active Sky will just add textures. If you feel you can live without them by now, stick with ASE for a while.

It would be great if HiFi staff could integrate a weather radar with NGX's Nav display.Teo Halfen

You can place the X Gauge anywhere you want.There will never be a true weather radar for FSX.PMDG has already stated their thoughts about weather radars.
