Is there a discount for people who already own Active Sky for FSX or P3D V4?

I didn't ask Pat...

Would there be much benefit getting Active Sky if you have Ultra Weather XP?

I just purchased Ultra Weather XP a few weeks back and despite the name it does seem to be more directed at texture upgrades rather than anything to do with the weather itself. The reason I ask is because I am not sure of the capabilities of Ultra Weather XP.

I don't mind the default weather in XP11. It seems to create some interesting weather when live weather is set, even if it's not entirely accurate. I also downloaded a free NOAA plugin which I am yet to try.

Cheers,

Active sky and Ultra Weather are pretty much the same in some ways but Active Sky does have more and I think better textures. However, I don't think it is necessary to buy Active Sky right away they are past Beta into production but they are still working on improvements.

I used Active Sky in FSX, and still use it in P3D. That's why I jumped on it as soon as it got released. I enjoy the weather injection, and op top of that, the cloud textures are so much better.

I don't know anything about Ultra Weather XP so can not compare.
