well, that was not the question. I said: we cant save a choosen preset. When we load it, you dont have any button to save it (if you like it). On the other side, i cant find the "autoload" presets that Luis70 says. ¿?

Thank you vert much but….iwas talking about saving the others preset. ( imagine if you want to save one preset you liked in the 17th page of creators autoload setting?? Where. Is it?

Me too. When we find a preset that we like, we cant save it. anyway, the best app should be the one that combine different presets that change slowly every 30 minutes. (Slowly, soft…not like weather engines with cloud transition). like this, we could feel we change of place: change size, texture of clouds, haze, etc…. variation and poetry.

The clouds begin to be "those decorative things in the sky." The same with correct real air traffic that, since 2020, has been "promised", but that does not finish arriving. What keeps people alive is hope. That's why everything is prolonged and we are settling for less and less. I'm sure that the Asobo team and the developers of msfs and msfs2024 are wonderful people, but I'm also sure that the heads of marketing love to see the forums full of complaints. That keeps the company alive.

In recent times, the trick to sell is to show you a great teaser video and then: “Dont complain, that it is in beta.!” Feed yourself with periodic lists of fixes. I bought an apple yesterday but I couldn't eat it because it was in beta and had some bugs.

yes. Its terrible, also in MSFS202. simple clouds and almost clear skies wherever i go. we need someone who give us good news...some new weather engine:)

The longer the explanation, the bigger the lie

Every time I read the huge list of fixes of the MSFS2024 updates I ask myself: did all that fail and they decided to put the product on the market?

I agree with you. On each flight I take new surprises when finally everything seems to be Smooth some clouds appear out of nowhere that surprise me. I have varied all the options and the same thing always happens. The wxradar is showing always white clouds, but i never see them. When its clear skies, the wxradar has clouds. if i zoom on its radar map, those clouds appear. If i zoom more, those clouds dissappear. i must say active sky is a wonderfull product for prepare3d. Sorry.

Wow. What a novelistic mentality you have

Your narrative is convoluted. It's simpler: I buy the product. I try it (as many times as I want, not as many times as you tell me I should). If it doesn't work, I report it so they can improve it, and maybe I'll ask for a refund, until it does. P.S.: I've asked for refunds four times in my entire life. Not bad.

yes! Thanks for reminding me. Indeed, BATC refunded my money, and they were very kind. Actually, it's a habit to buy a product or a license and expect it to work as advertised. Although I'm optimistic by nature, and I've contributed a lot to the development of PSXT and REALTRAFFIC (investing my money monthly in a professional license and also testing and discussing it with its creators), I'm also a free citizen who loves to freely express his opinions about the products he uses, to encourage the critical perspective of future customers. The thing is, some product owners get offended (of course). 🙂 Thanks for reminding me about BATC. I'm currently using FSHud and it's wonderful, and also, in fact, PSXT with Realtraffic. Two highly recommended products.

Thank you for your recommendations

Yes. I bought it twice...hoping to understand, for example, the terrible key mapping design. It's designed to confuse, not to facilitate. The second time, I found that no matter what I did, the terrain textures were always blurred with too many trees. I requested a refund for Active Sky because, after three flights, I realized the METAR wasn't being interpreted correctly. What do I do? 300 flights? And yes, I'm always open to new opportunities if the actions (not words or teasers) prove that it actually works. Active Sky is a great product; I really liked it in Prepar3D.

Thank you very much for your reply. Here's another Active Sky user, from when I used prepar3d. So I'm also a fan of good products, undoubtedly like Active Sky. 🙂 My doubts regarding the AS2020 product stem from the fact that I've taken three flights today and haven't seen any connection between the METAR and what was happening in the sky at that moment. Of course, in the Active Weather option. In any case, I want to apologize, because my comment didn't mean to make you think you're just looking for money. On the other hand, you are within your rights. If I had a business, I would do it too! 🙂 But obviously, that's not what I meant. I was referring to the uncertainty I've had on these first three flights. The same goes for MSFS2024, wich i finally asked for refund two times. Since I've already requested a refund for AS, I'll almost be forced to buy it again next month, if Active Sky really works well. But i first have to think about it. As a reflection I share with you: don't you think everything is too difficult? I'm not referring to AS. But to everything that needs to be done to make a simulator work. All filled with tutorials to get some performance... that might wear the user out. Although those of us who love this: we never tire. Thanks!

thank you very much for your recommendations. I anyway asked for a refund, but, that doesnt mean i will not buy it again some motnh after!.) thanks!

Well, im in Active mode. (Thats why i bought the product) the update on approach is also checked on. But i discovered suddenly clouds dissappeared like ice creams with hot. but the most bad thing for me was just to expect a metar i read on the active sky map, but: it wasnt there projected. so… its like waiting every little flight expecting to see if it the metar becomes true or not. i dont want to dissappoint another users but that is my point of view.

Thank you but… what is DIY?

With the best intentions in the world, I bought Active Sky, a little fed up with seeing such blue skies and few clouds on the horizon. I know Asobo's weather forecast is very good, but I checked Rex Weather Force and Xenviro, and finally decided on Active Sky. My surprise is that, upon arriving in Madrid, the METAR is predicting broken clouds at 6500 and 5000, and also at 8000, but I find a thin layer of clouds at 9000. This kind of thing baffles me. Why is it so easy to provide METAR information if it's actually ineffective? I'm thinking about getting my money back, because while it has many options, I honestly haven't been able to make sure that Active Sky represents the weather the METAR says it will, on several occasions. Likewise, going back to Asobo's default weather forecast is a bit sad. Is there a super-professional who has a great recommendation, and who doesn't belong to a company that just wants to sell its product? I have MSFS2020. On the other hand, I bought MSFS2024 twice, but it was impossible to fly. I read here on avsim that the MSFS2024 weather engine is wonderful, and, on the other hand, another team says it has a lot of problems. ? What does a user do? Thanks!

Hello. Just curious… i have heard that asobo realtime weather is the most accurate, but sone other say activesky worth it. we are looking for variety, good combinstion of clouds and msny different cloud textures like sofly. But , in a dynamic way. what do you think?

Im the one who opened the other thread. Im not happy with batc, and i wanted to say it and ask for a refund. im not director of orchestra. Its not orchestrated. Im just an un happy customer who spent thirty dollars on something that doesnt work at all as expected. thank you.

I suppose BATC is kind, and simply refund to their customers before 14 days the money they have invested in their product, if this one doesnt show a minimum of what it announced. that is my experience in half a day. i dont need to wait for updates because i dont want to use it. Its simple. I have written to them. I think their a kind.

Wow. You are so sweet and gentleman. Yes please, lets close this thread and give CFIJose a vacation. ❤️😎

By my side...i have FSHUD also. And it really works well. The strange thing is to spend money and see it doesnt work at all in the first two hours. If you buy a product and need to go into forum and youtube videos to listen for tips...thats no good. 🙂

I had to write here by not finding a single option to get my money back. It made me write here in avsim. Just for share and having help. in any case it is the product that should convince me that it is good and not its users thank you
