I stopped using REX Sky Force for various reasons. One of the was the fact that running on a networked configuration you never knew if REX Sky force was injecting any clouds. Only if I enabled the weather engine I was able to see clouds being injected and also the program gave you feedback as of what was happening. The minute you turn the weather engine off I could not get any injections to P3D and of course I did not want to use REX weather engine since I preffer Active Sky weather engine. Just a frustrating piece of software to use. Just my opinion of course.

Thanks to all for the replies. I missed the sale (too late), but I'm gonna buy skyforce when it is on sale again.

I don't use volumetric clouds 1)because I don't like how they look, and 2)they degrade performance.

Hopefully they'll be improved in v5.4 or v6.0.

for v9 maybe lol 😄 but they will still keep the pin sized map with arrows for moving tho...

just dont

ok so to elaborate. ive been using it for 6 months maybe its an absolute joke. i thought it was bcos i was on w7 and latest p3d4.5. 

but having put up win10 and latest p5 its even worse. 

full of serious bugs and they lie about the content, it does not do what they say. also they dont care about, cos they didnt update since ~may, this is a beta version at best

buglist:

• very abrupt weather changes far from immersion.
• weather phenomenon showed in the advertisement video very rarely appear (or not at all)
• many times rain and snow falls from the clear sky far from clouds
• weather cells cannot be seen from each other for example the airport can be overcast but you can see it from 10 miles away but when you get there the visibility abruptly changes to low and you can repeat this several times
• extremely slow injection that makes tweaking very difficult, and it's very hard to explain why is this slow, program load up is also slow. 
• it does not pre-inject weather in advance along the route even if you clearly stated the destination airport
• there are no config file for extra tweaks --> features looks like hard coded
• 6SM visibility everywhere in Europe mostly
• visibility engine tweaks are mostly useless and buggy for example max setting disappear in certain situations. 
• flight plan is reinjected into the simulator even if you changed it already, it cannot be turned off and it should be wise versa, also flight plan loading is very tedious it should be automatic
• UI way too complicated and slow emphasis should be shifted for the weather engine not the looks
• then you play on VATSIM or IVAO most important is quick loading quick injection also around the airport useless frills like startup screen is annoying and unnecessary. 
• at exit it also pop an unnecessary screen that you have to push okay on
• if the sim crashes or restarted it does not reconnect to it. you have to exit and reload REX also
