Forgot to mention the cloud's shadows are magnifique. Now I love my sunsets, the clouds at night are dimmed, the propeller is not visible at night, the clouds during the day are not super bright but nice and soft without any distracting anomalies and performance is superb. I also substituted all of my sun glows with CloudArt's sun glows)ĥ. I kept the default X Plane 11 skycolors set. Install CloudArt (***here I installed only the clouds and the 3 sun glow files found inside the Skycolors folder. Install the a script or plugin (does an amazing quiet job)Ĥ. Delete Skymaxx Pro (I love Skymaxx Pro clouds but I found something else that gives you something at the moment Skymaxx pro is unable to replicate beautifully, cloud shadows)ģ. Keep ASXP (the best weather everything at the moment)Ģ. After so many hours of trial and error I'll share what I think in my opinion right now is the best combo.ġ. They can talk to the engine in different ways, with different results.I have tried the Skymaxx pro, weather connector and ASXP combo. The weather prediction behind it is the same as in P3D or FSX.Īnd as usual they don't only offer real weather, but also historical weather (enter a date time and location and you get the historical weather data) and you can customize the weather, this means you take the current weather and change clouds winds and so on and fly in your own weather.īut what they wrote means a different thing. WARNING: Only eligible previous-version Active Sky licensees will be able to use this special software download, as it. If you have purchased a license for any of the eligible products, you qualify to purchase the upgrade version at a discount. The big difference is that Hifi has a much better idea, where what kind of clouds are and they add their own textures but due to the weather engine they don't look totally different. Eligible upgrade products are Active Sky for P3D V4 (ASP4) or Active Sky 2016 for FSX/P3D V3 (AS16).

If I understand this right, it won't look much different from default XP clouds. Interesting info! I'm not surprised at the one year delay before they can use their own cloud depiction, due to the changing API, but I wonder how much of a sales handicap that will be? Many people seem to think of cloud depiction first, when evaluating a weather app.
