I was hesitant to post my thoughts in the other threads since they seem to just be a battle of 'my screenshot looks better than yours' and end up being 40 pages.  I'll give you my summary after using

Very good points by all. It really does boil down to your personal preference. To me, the different cloudscapes and cloud levels is a major plus. I spent over 25 years flying around and AS is much clo

Yes, I have to agree from reading the two threads, it seems pretty much divided as to what AS brings to the table. Some like the cloudscapes it generates others are not so impressed; Some are willing

I completely agree - but my post was about people wanting to remove metar.  That's ridiculous.

Yeah I completely agree with you on that.

I think it improves the realism - airport WX is more accurate and clouds are more realistic - not just cinematic/dramtic massive cumulus.

For me just the ability to inject historical weather was worth $25.  

Depiction is a personal preference, but from what I've seen it does dial-back the 'drama clouds', offers more variety and visibility is handled differently.  

I haven't experienced any technical issues with the software itself, but I think there have been two or three updates since launch to correct issues others have experienced and fine tune things a bit.

Also of note, the price increased at the beginning of May so it's now $32 instead of $25.

You are a champ, I must say lol
