Hello,

 

As I downgraded to FSX from FS2004 due to a certain aircraft I have tried some freeware weather programs with FSINN being the worst shutting my engines at high altitudes due to extreme temperature... My sensor must be fooling me but apparently not.

 

Hence question, which weather program is the best in your opinion when it comes to performance as FPS is a problem for me... For fsx?

 

Payware or freeware doesn't matter. So far I know top ones are OpusFSX and Active Sky 6.5.

Asn cant go wrong here especially if  you got  the pmdg t7   for the weather  radar

FSX is hardly a Downgrade. Many things/addons for FSX..make it loads better than FS9

One must remember its generally not the weather programme that affects performance its how many clouds your machine can handle, its that which affects your FPS. If you have a low end machine anda re flying in real overcast weather there is a good chance you will suufer. its not a weather programme issue its a hardware problem. But you could try REalWX used it for quiet a while its not bad freeware, now use ASN with rex textures and not going back.

ASN or AS2012 are both excellent - AS2012 adds weather related textures if desired and ASN doesn't.

The better wx programs really don't eat many cycles in and of themselves - and I say this from experience with current versions of ASN, Opus and REX.  mjrhealth has it exactly right - what eats frames is the cloud complexity that can be generated by any of the better programs, so you'll find you'll need to tune whatever program you use so that more complex cloud scenarios don't eat your system alive.

 

Right now it's hard to beat ASN, BTW.

Thanks for suggestions guys, I will most likely check in with ASN.

 

 

P.S, reason I stated FSX is a downgrade is due to the performance problems and instabilities... Crashing way more often than FS9 :(
