MSFS 2020 Passive Mode ActiveSky FS. Others Confirm Working?

Featured Replies

Could others that are running MSFS 2020 with ActiveSky FS in (passive) mode build 9243 confirm that ASFS is injecting weather and or working please?  Or is it broke on my end?

I think you have completely misunderstood the passive mode of Active Sky...

 

"Passive Depiction Mode
Passive mode is used with live weather and allows MSFS’s internal live weather depiction to take full control of weather depiction in the simulator, while Active Sky FS provides Active Air Effects and all other non-depiction features (mapping, planning, voice features, conditions report, web companion app, etc.) This can provide better regional variation and cloud variations outside of Preset control, recommended for LIVE WEATHER VFR and casual flights where visuals and effects are more important than weather conditions accuracy."

Sure the heck got confused alright. Seems in the earlier versions of ASFS you just switched modes with live weather off in the sim. So you use passive mode together with MSFS 2020 live weather.  Check got it.  Good to go now.
