Active Sky XP (ASXP) brings the popular award-winning Active Sky weather engine to the X-Plane platform for the first time. Using a hybrid weather depiction interface through X-Plane 11’s weather API, a realistic, high-performance and high-fidelity weather experience is realized.

Features Spotlight
• 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
• 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 Sky Weather Engine
• 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
• Voice Weather Delivery
• Active Sky ATIS and Flightwatch are available at any time by listening on 122.00, 122.02 or 122.03 for closest station, actual/current interpolated conditions and destination weather reports, respectively
• Surface Crosswind Attenuation
• Optional, for better ground handling in crosswind conditions while preserving headwind/tailwind component for performance accuracy
• Mobile Companion App
• Use any device/browser to connect with Active Sky over your network and view and control the weather

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.
