Well, Active Sky X is out for FSX and its pretty awesome. Don't know about any others.

Yes, I agree Active Sky X is very good and well worth its cost.

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

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

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.
