When MSFS was released, I was really happy that we could finally fly into weather systems instead of having the static weather we had with Active Sky.

But recently, I started getting a bit bored because the clouds in the sim seemed to look the same everywhere.

I decided to install Active Sky again, and I have to say, I’m amazed at how good it has become. I’ve never seen so many different and varied cloudscapes in my sim. I also don’t notice the cloud morphing anymore, which was one of the things that bothered me before.

At this point, I honestly don’t mind not being able to fly directly into weather systems anymore. Of course, it would still be great if Asobo could improve the weather system and make it more dynamic.

But for now, I would definitely recommend everyone to give the latest version of Active Sky a try!

I have always used ASFS in Passive mode for the turbulence but have been using as my main WX generator lately due to the terrible regression of visuals and lack of cloud variety in MSFS Live WX. I hope they open up the Live WX API more to Devs so we can finally get more realistic WX depictions as opposed to what we currently have in Live WX (transparent popcorn clouds everywhere, cumulus clouds at FL350+, no stratiform clouds, unlimited visibility, no CB's, no scattering, etc, etc).....

Same, but hey, rest assured that the Devs are 100% on top of their game with Live Weather. Just look at the last dev stream. The way they all rushed to answer the questions was jaw dropping...

We've gotten answers for several years now.....
