January 30, 200818 yr Hi All,I'm currently running Active Sky for FS9, however, I'm in the market for a weather package for FSX as I will be in the process of migrating to this newer flight sim version.Any recommendations?Bill Windows 10 Pro, Ver 21H2 CPU I5-8600K 5.0GHz, GPU Nvidia RTX 3090 VRAM 24GB Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7, 2TB M2.NVMe, RAM 32GB
January 30, 200818 yr Well, Active Sky X is out for FSX and its pretty awesome. Don't know about any others.
January 30, 200818 yr Yes, I agree Active Sky X is very good and well worth its cost. John Rig: Gigabyte B550 AORUS Master Motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT CPU, 32GB DDR4 Ram, Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Graphics, Samsung Odyssey wide view display (5120 x 1440 pixels) with VSYNC on.
January 31, 200818 yr A couple of other weather engines are in development. Flight Environment aka FEX is adding a weather engine in the near future. Real Environment Extreme aka REX will have a weather engine. I would think both will be available in a few months.Curt Curt Branch
January 31, 200818 yr There's also Weather Maker RX. It's 'cheap and cheerful' compared to ASX, but it does the job quite effectively. In fact, for me it does it better than ASX; at times ASX doesn't connect with FSX, or else it does but doesn't show the right weather (for example it will report snow at a particular airport, but not represent that snow when you're at that airport).Petraeus Petraeus
January 31, 200818 yr Active Sky for FSX is by far the best. I'm excited about the Flight Environment X too, as Flight1 usually does a very good job with graphics packages.
