What weather engine for p3d?

Featured Replies

Hi, on fsx:se I downloaded activesky next to use in vatsim to simulate real world weather and winds etc. But now I have upgraded to p3d and I want to have active sky there too so I can simulate real winds and weather. I’ve found as16 but that seems to only work with p3d v3. Please help! What weather engine to use for p3d v4 so I can get real world weather and winds? Thank you

You'll need "Active Sky for P3Dv4". Check the HiFi  homepage.

But is it the one called "asp4", "asca", or "as16"? I am seriously really confused, all i want is an addon that simulates the real world weather. So if its raining outside its raining in the sim or if its really windy outside i want it to be windy in the sim. I feel like they dont provide good enough information the guys over at HIFI-technologies...

Do i need to buy ASP4 to use ASCA or can it work alone? I can see at the hifi homepage that they say it can work alone with another program, does that mean it cant work alone or does it mean it can work alone, but also with another program?

Thanks again

So this contains both real world weather and also is a decent weather engine?

 

In my opinion the best you can buy.

Thank you 🙂, but does asca come together with this purchase or do i have to buy that too to get real world weather?

 

Asca is a seperate purchase so its not included.

Asca is a texture program and has nothing to do with the real weather loading into th sim that task is for ASP4.
