A very neat feature is that you can even drag-and-drop a weather preset onto the map-view in AS2012, and have it update FSX as requested.

You can also use ‘historic’ weather, although the word historic might give the wrong impression.

This total file size of these downloads is just shy of 3 GB. If you download from SimMarket, like I did, you need to download 6 files in total. So, this review will have to look at more than just weather.īecause of the included textures, Active Sky 2012 is quite a large download. In this, it’s now eating from the same cake as Real Environment Extreme (and then some). Active Sky now also delivers a bunch of replacement textures for FSX, going from clouds, over water to runways. So, you can expect more realistic weather simulation compared to the stock FSX weather engine. In the first place, Active Sky 2012 is still a weather tool for FSX.
