The best real time weather addon?

Look no further than ActiveSky 5 (ASV) available from http://www.hifisim.com/As long as you don't mind paying a little money, though. Absolutely the best! Really enhances the FS experience.Edit - whoops! Bob beat me to it. Anyway, what Bob said :)

Another vote for Active Sky V. Their support forums are right here on Avsim.Tony=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]BEVBetaSig.jpg

hello All, Well, I have to say I put off buying Active Sky for quite some time, and then finally broke down and bought it -- then slapping myself for not getting it sooner. There are two programs I will not fly without, one is FSNav and the other Active Sky.Active Sky add's so much realism, beauty and character to FS, I don't understand how any serious FS addict could do without it. thanks for the effort in making this great program.Best to all, Clayhttp://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...ers/Dopke01.jpgClayton T.

Meh,FSMeteo, Active Sky, they're all the same. Which also means, they're all good.

I am an avid globetrotter with my trusty Lufthansa B777F, Polar Air Cargo B744F, and Atlas Air B748F.

Go with AS5 and use the clouds from flight environment.Greatest skies ihave ever seen and not that far from whati see at work every day.Darren

Absolutely NOTHING like Active Sky V. I could NEVER fly without it. PS.Although it doesn't relate, I could never fly without Active Camera, either.

why is active sky better than the freeware fsmetar, which includes downloads for noaa, vatsim and ivao...then exports them to fs9? thanks...sherm

How does Actice Sky affect frame rates? (I'm running a P4 2.66 with an FX5900 and 1 GB RAM) Thanks

That combined with Flight Environment, seems to do a good job for me? It's hard to tell from the screenshots what it actually brings to the table.

Thanks
