We have put our previous X-Plane visual cloud rendering replacement efforts on hold (until next year) due to performance considerations and changing API environment/tools that are not yet finalised. Not a complete visual cloud rendering replacement.

See the Detailed Description below for more details and FAQs. Use any device/browser to connect with Active Sky over your network and view and control the weather.įeatures, specifications, requirements and release schedule are subject to change. Optional, for better ground handling in crosswind conditions while preserving headwind/tailwind component for performance accuracy.

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 optimised!Īn 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.Īctive 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. 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.

Introducing HiFi’s first weather engine for the X-Plane platform.Īctive Sky XP (ASXP) brings the popular award-winning Active Sky weather engine to the X-Plane platform for the first time.
