I wanted to ask which weather engine do you use in FSX? I tried Opus and Active Sky 2012 before and only solution working for me was REX 3 but now it has problems also so I was thinking about if I should wait for REX 4 Weather Direct or choose the other 2 options I posted in poll. Can you tell me which one do you use and why you prefer?

I cannot answer... OPUS is not in the poll.  I think you should add it even if it didn't work for you.

 

I prefer OPUS anyway.

OPUS for quick VFR flights, FSGRW for JetLiner flights. Maybe I will use only OPUS for both in the future, must test it a bit more.

ASN is utterly superb!

 

How a weather engine should be.

 

Weather has taken on a whole new significance in FSX. Now it matters.

ASN. Enhanced overcast + rex4/hdev2 textures rules.

Missing the fine freeware FSRealWX on the poll (that's what I use for realtime weather), version 2 should be out in open beta any second now.

What does that mean? How is it 'significantly' different from Opus?

First of all, what is more important to you?  Or, what are you most annoyed about in your current weather engine?

 

I currently have Opus and tried the ASN demo.  For me, I want a "smooth" experience from departure to destination.  No wind shifts, cloud pops, and/or cloud shifts  The only one that I know of that can do this is ASN.

 

This alone is the biggest reason for me that has put ASN ahead of Opus.  Opus' current product is no where close to ASN in this category.  It strictly is a matter of not wanting to spend more $$ on another weather engine as to why I haven't switched.  Every flight I do with Opus right now though, I'm annoyed as now I know there is something better.  So, it will be just a matter of time before I get sick of being annoyed by Opus and bring out the credit card.

Regards,
