For example I’d advise to let ASXP take c ontrol of the turbolences and the other enviromental components, avoiding the interaction of the simulator that may lead to a not clean experience. You may have to play a bit with its settings, sometimes not friendly as the interface in general, to get more realism. Something that I definitively love is the map/radar view inside the app that will let you monitor the weather condition in you simulator and that is very useful for add-ons that lacks one (it’s just like windy or any other radar weather app). Its user interface is very clean and easy to understand. It’s a separate application that you need to run at the same time of x-plane (it can be minimized and also sent to system tray) and can also be accessed through it’s web server via the mobile control component. Let’s talk about the user interface and how the software works. That means that you can still use your preferred environment add-ons, including xVision that works perfectly with Active Sky. In the meanwhile the product is basically a sophisticated injector. It’s something that really worths waiting for.

Indeed the cloud textures provided are good, but still far from the idea you can have by knowing their stunning quality in FSX/P3D. It’s aim is to do a professional level weather injection providing additional optional cloud textures that are not to be meant as the rendition of the more complex art system used in P3D and FSX that will come to X-Plane in Q4 2019. First of all we have to point out what the product is actually aiming to deliver in order to be able to evaluate correctly what the product is delivering us. Reviewed with real weather charts.Īctive sky XP is the latest product from HiFi team that bring x-plane platform ultra realistic weather injection. HiFi’s Active Sky XP is already a must have, even without its cloud textures.

Here’s a review of the most awaited weather injector, now available for X-Plane.
