Active Sky Weather Engine: An evolved version of the Active Sky platform brings the core features that made Active Sky the leading weather engine for the other simulators: Advanced weather synthesis and interpolation, high-resolution winds aloft, realistic air and atmosphere effects, a comprehensive weather data network, integrated visual mapping and planning and more.
High-Performance Weather Depiction: Uses internal X-Plane 11.2x/11.3x cloud depiction for maximum performance and smoothness, with multiple weather depiction modes including theme cell “real weather” mode and global static mode – VR compatible and optimized.
Active Air Effects: 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.
Using a hybrid weather depiction interface through X-Plane 11’s weather API, a realistic, high-performance and high-fidelity weather experience is realised. HiFi Simulations has just brought what I consider the best weather-generating program for FSX and Prepar3D simulator to the X-Plane platform for the first time.
