You would think they would come out with one good one sky force is dependant on the weather engine you using, where as wa is where you make your own weather and its not a weather engine at all thats the difference( if you would have gone to the rex site it would have told you what it does) I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

First of all: these aren't weather engines, at least not similar to the ones we know (like Active Sky). SkyForce is a cloud and sky texture addon with a simple (and not too good) weather engine added for those who don't have a real weather engine. It lacks historic weather or the option to create weather and it also lacks smooth redraws (after the real time update of weather). So it's not a weather engine with clouds included, it's a cloud addon with a weather engine included. Do NOT buy SkyForce for it's weather engine! It's like buying a car for it's glove department. And Weather Architect is an addon with which you can create your own weather. (Did anyone actually buy this one...?) Do NOT buy Weather Architect if you want real time or historic weather like with Active Sky. If you are looking for a weather engine, look elsewhere.
January 4, 20188 yr Author There's a lengthy post on the Avsim PREPARED Forum about the SkyForce Add-on that will go into detail and you can understand why you shouldn't purchase it as a weather engine.

Do NOT buy Weather Architect if you want real time or historic weather like with Active Sky. I bought Weather Architect when it was published some years ago. Unfortunately, this was my worst investment in REX products. It missed several important features from the beginning and did never get an overhaul, probably due to low sale numbers. I cannot recommend this add-on. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
