I honestly think it is hard to beat Active Sky.

I have used it through all it's varients along with ASCA.

IMO., it is unbeatable.

Ok, I will buy it now. Fs pilots real weather

is far better with v5 than v6 .

AS P3d and now P3d v6 is simply the BEST weather injector I have ever used...

Still my go-to when I want to try some RW weather scenario... No go with other solutions I have tried, although I can't comment on FSGRW for v6 because I never tried it.

FSGRW would surely be my second choice though.

Weather and the poor simulation I got from MFS was one of the main reasons that made me abandon that platform. I P3D I can get exactly what I see in the forecasts and METAR depiction has always been simply superb!

I’ve been a happy user of ASP3D and ASCA for many years. With my new GPU I can move all the cloud quality sliders to the max and with EA enabled they look very impressive.

Do you use EA with Volumetric Clouds off?

Yes, EA On. I tried them. Flying Concorde down the Portugal coast where METAR reports from nearby airports reported few clouds the volumetric setting was filling the gaps making it overcast.

That was on the max setting but I decided I preferred them off.

Thanks Ray. I have some budget available for FS addons, and I was thinking about ASCA. After almost two years with v5 (always with EA on and VC off), I never used anything for clouds other than default (unlike v4/FSX, for which I used REX). Looks like I'll be buying.

yeah I can also strongly recommend ASCA, the clouds look really good with the right settings (even up to the point that you even forget they are just 2D clouds)! 🙂

Try setting all ASCA Cloud quality layers to max if your GPU doesn’t complain too much. I haven’t seen many recommendations for VC. Maybe it’s better in v6.

Agree with Blasb 2D clouds do look very good. I just need to adjust the look of the ground (too bluish) and the sky (not enough blue at altitude) but I’ll leave that for a separate post.

Off here too, it's the best option IMH.
