Active Sky X

Post by VEGAS »

Hi all,

I see Active Sky X has been released. Never really contemplated purchasing such an add-on before but from what I can gather from folks over at Horizon's forum, they are singing it's praises.

I must be honest, when I saw the screenies I thought it looked not to dissimilar to FSX default! But perhaps I'm wrong.

Anyone got it yet? At nearly £30 it must have some special features. :think: :dunno:

I bought Active Sky 6.5 for FS9 last weekend, and though I haven't fully got to grips with it yet, I'm getting some wonderful cloud-scapes out of it, along with the real-world weather data of course. So far, I am very happy indeed with it.

Not sure about how AS X will improve FSX, but AS 6.5 was well worth the price.:smile:

To me ASX is worth the price just for the ability to create with some fidelity hurricanes in FSX. Not only that, but the XM-Weather style weather gauge looks quite nice as well, much better than the old ASRadar gauge that wasn't really a radar gauge and wasn't always "truthful" on what was outside the cockpit. :)

Eddie, don't hesitate just do it. I held back for an age and now I really regret it. It's brilliant. Using real weather the scapes are amazing. Flying from Man to IOM as I do proves very interesting, especially with real weather on the island.

Go and buy it.
