My phone is not real good with encrypted e-mails, and this one was no different.This review will focus on the basic installation and operation of the software, a real-weather enhancement add-on for X-Plane Over 20 years in development, Active Sky continues its ongoing journey in an ongoing quest to improve the simulated aviation weather experience for everyone. Use of this product is not authorized in any country subject to relevant embargo, sanction, restriction or prohibition applicable within the USA. ASXP features high-performance cloud depiction with a focus on conditions accuracy, utilizing the X-Plane internal cloud rendering via a hybrid API approach, with two different modes available.ĪSXP also features an optional high-performance photo-realistic cloud texture replacement with a simple texture installation wizard. We expect our visual cloud rendering replacement technology to debut in Q4subject to change based on many factors. Not a complete visual cloud rendering replacement. Uses internal X-Plane An evolved version of the Active Sky platform brings the core features that made Active Sky the leading weather engine for other platforms: Advanced weather synthesis and interpolation, high-resolution global winds aloft, realistic air and atmosphere effects, a comprehensive weather data network, integrated visual mapping and planning, and much, much more. Replaces internal X-Plane turbulence and air effects, providing enhanced turbulence, drafts, thermals, terrain-based wind effects, surface friction, gusts, variability, wake turbulence, microbursts and more. You'll miss out though, on the dynamic weather experience provided by Active Sky XP. If you are satisfied with the default weather engine, that's OK too not everyone enjoys flying through inclement weather and would rather stay in the sunshine with calm winds. I would say it's worth it - it's a highly polished product, providing enhanced weather engine features above and beyond what is available in the default X-Plane weather controls.

The practical application of this program occurred to me as well, in terms of enhancing the experience when utilizing the simulator for real-world training.

I must say that my experience using Active Sky XP discovering all the features available to tailor the weather experience in the simulator, was exciting! As I got acquainted with the program, it became apparent to me that twenty years of developing, refining, streamlining and adding features to the program, really shone through.
