FSrealWXlite is freeware  but it's not very accurate.
If you want a more accurate engine you have to use the FSGRW (FS Global Real Weather) by Pilot's payware.

Thanks! I really like the Flight1 FSX like cockpit viewing with the middle mouse button, but if you scroll you go fwd and backwds, that was such a bugger. 😞 But never the less I always have flown without it back in the days.

have you seen my video on how to get Active Camera? its not been for sale for nearly 11 years now so I found a crack and have shared it. it's the only working one that I know of for FS9.1. shame the dev didn't release it free when he pulled out. the download is in the video description. 

 let me know if the download link works for you. it's been a bit feisty lately...

I've just downloaded the file, Aldus. However, I can't see any readme file in the ZIP file I got. For reference, is the one with no installer (la versione non installante as described in your site). Is this OK?

The "read me" can be found in the SweetFX folder.
However it is written in Italian.
I'll write you the procedure with the translator.
 ______________________________

| **** INSTALLATION of SweetFX **** |
| _____________________________ |

Copy these files into the FS9 root directory (usually it is in the path "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Games \ Flight Simulator 9").

- INIFileParser.dll
- SweetFX_config.exe

- ALL SweetFX folder

| **** CONFIGURATION of SweetFX in 10 steps **** |
| ________________________________________  |

[-1-]
Launch the "SweetFX_config.exe" program (you can find it in the main directory of FS9).


[-2-]
Click on the "Add new game" button on the left.


[-3-]
Select the FS9.EXE file and click on "Open".


[-4-]
The word "Microsoft Flight Si Not active" will appear at the top left.

Just ONE CLICK on the writing, then press the button on the right "Add SweetFX".
The configurator will activate.


[-5-]
Click on the "SweetFX Injector setting" button.


[-6-]
In the window that opens you can configure the keyboard button that you will use to activate or deactivate the effects.
Let's take an example.
Suppose we want to enable the F12 key.

In the "Toggle effects on / off" box you will see a number already selected (usually 145).
While leaving that number selected, press F12 on the keyboard.
By doing this you will have set the F12 as an "On / Off" button to activate or deactivate the post effects during the flight.
You can select any button, that is not necessarily F12.

Then click on "Save setting" and the window will close.


[-7-]
Click on the "Save / load configuration" button.


[-8-]
Click on "Import preset".
Search in the folder ... SweetFX / PRESET ... the "supersky2020.txt" file and open it by clicking on "Open".
The file will be added to the preset list.


[-9-]
Click on the word ONCE, then click on the "Load selected preset" button.

Close the preset list window (click on the X).

Click on the "Save / load configuration" button.

The preset list window will reopen.

Click the "Load selected preset" button again.

Close the preset list window (click on the X).


[-10-]
Click on the "Save new config" button, and definitively close the configurator (click on the X).

Done!
When you start FS9 the post processing will already be active, it is not necessary to repeat the procedure at each start.

| **** FS9 CONFIGURATION for full screen post effects ****   |
| _______________________________________________  |

To use the SweetFX effects in full screen you have to turn off anti-aliasing from the internal FS9 menu.
If you leave it "On", no effects are generated.
Anti-aliasing will be handled directly by SweetFX.

If after installing Sweefx FS9 it does not start, do not panic, there is no need to uninstall / reinstall FS9 or format your pc!

Remove these 15 files below from the FS9 directory, and FS9 will work normally.

1 - configurator.ini

2 - configurator.log

3 - dxgi.dll

4 - d3d9.dll

5 - d3d9.fx

6 - dxgi.fx

7 - INIFileParser.dll

8 - injector.ini

9 - log.log

10 - shader.fx

11 - SweetFX_config.exe

12 - SweetFX_preset .txt

13 - SweetFX readme.txt

14 - SweetFX_settings.txt

15 - SweetFX_settings.txt.orig

- Also remove all SweetFX FOLDER.

No problem, posso leggere italiano senza problemi. But I know other people can't do so, so thank you very much!

However, I see this readme is only related to the SweetFX stuff. For the other things, just backup, copy and paste?

Hi:

Last night I installed this version of SuperSky. But when the FS9 tries to start, this warning appears:

Capture.png

After uninstall sweetFX, FS9 backs to work correctly. So I suspect it could be something related with SweetFX.

I have Win7 64bit. As this version of Supersky seems dedicated to win10, could it be the reason? Maybe this d3d9.dll is only compatible for Win10?
