- Ive an issue with updating the weather with the Active Sky currentwxsnapshot.txt and using EFB 2.1 build #106 using X-Plane 11.30+, EFB client running as network install or local on serverside. On the client AND server side, there is no update of the weatherdata until I do one of the following.
- Maxx-XP, in co-operation with Sundog Software, and X-Aviation are excited to bring you another game changing experience to the weather rendering in X-Plane 10 and X-Plane 11! SkyMaxx Pro v4 is an X-Plane cloud and sky replacement engine boasting all-new technology for X-Plane that it's almost like having an all-new sim! NEW: SkyMaxx Pro v4.9.
- Cloudsurf asia simulations - wsss + mega singapore scenery for x-plane 11. Xmapsy v3 the efb - connector fsx p3d msfs x-plane.
- Just read the specs over on simMarket: 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 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 realised.
Integration With Active Sky 2016 (P3Dv4)
However, the biggest selling point of this product is certainly its integration with Active Sky 2016. In fact, some have argued that ASCA should have been bundled together with Active Sky 2016. Active Sky is perhaps one of the best weather engines available for flight sim currently with its ability to recreate real-world weather. As both Active Sky and ASCA are from the same publisher, there are numerous advantages when combining the two products together.
Perhaps most obviously is the ability to use the 'Full Dynamics' and 'Global Automatic' theme settings in ASCA. What these themes do can be easily inferred from their names: allow weather to become much more dynamic. Both of these themes allow ASCA to load more than one texture for each of the categories (Sky Color, Cirrus Appearance and Cloud Textures) as per the current weather. As a result, you may get to experience several cloud structures and textures throughout one flight, making the weather much more natural and less static. In fact, the effects of ASCA are said to be the most obvious when flying through constantly changing weather.
Secondly, when combining ASCA and Active Sky, weather themes can be changed on the fly. No longer are the days of restarting the simulator every time you wish to experience a new theme. When Active Sky is activated alongside ASCA, the selected theme will be used by Active Sky when injecting weather into the simulator, thus eliminating the need to restart the simulator when changing themes. I personally found this feature highly helpful as it allowed me to quickly cycle through various themes without restarting my simulator multiple times. For users, it will be much easier to experience all the available themes (or make your own!) to find something you like the best.
Conclusion
In the end, I feel that while a stand-alone product, Active Sky Cloud Art was really developed with the intention that it would be used alongside Active Sky, especially considering the myriad of features that depend on Active Sky to work. As a stand-alone product though, it is not highly appealing since most of the visuals it offers may not be fully utilized by default weather themes.
Hence, if you're an existing owner of Active Sky and wish to improve your flight simulator experience, ASCA would certainly be the add-on for you.

Active Sky X Plane 11 Crack Torrent
One of the most complete and comprehensive mods of flight simulation history has been updated. It took some time to get there, but the much-loved Active Sky is finally with us in a new 2016 update. Active Sky 2016 offers a new way for people to enjoy weather like never before. With sixteen years of development, hard work and professional precision in one, Active Sky 2016 marks the pinnacle of weather-based mods.
This offers a gluttony of new features that should definitely be checked out. Any flight simulation fan with a love or passion for flight will absolutely want to try this modification out. If you already own Active Sky, then you can just upgrade to the new 2016 edition.
If you don’t, though, you can start today. All you need is an active license key for ASE, AS2012 or ASN to get this working.
What’s New in 2016?
The introduction of a whole new raft of extra systems. From new in-cloud motion effects to a weather scenario system, flight management has never been so fun. You can control every aspect of the weather, and track it with the new airborne weather radar. Fans of realism can take things worth with the use of fresh Navigraph data integration and a re-designed, map-based custom weather editing system.
Make use of these brilliant new features with the extra P3D v3 visibility smooth and volumetric fog integration. This means that P3D users will finally get a more authentic and fun flight style. Not only will this really help you tick every box in terms of realism, but these new features will help pilots learn as they go.
Thanks to the improved mapping system as well as a fix for high-latitude cloud squeezes, you’ll find navigation simpler in every way. This offers a brutally enjoyable range of new changes and improvements that fully portray why Active Sky 2016 is a must-have mod.
However, this also makes huge strides in improving the overall realism of weather depiction. Fans in the past have complained that weather has felt scripted and average. With this mod, though, you get a far more genuine process. From the speed and quality of data parsing to the synthesis and interpolation of the weather features, everything feels improved.
This makes sure that you can enjoy a fresher and more engaging weather experience, without performance dips. Everything that you use here is going to make sure you get a fully, frank and capable understanding of what weather should look like. Other mods might try and sell you an image, this sells you a truly authentic scenario.
Another major improvement was the full and frank integration with Active Sky Cloud Art. This mod was a major hit with fans, but conflicts in the past caused performance dips and errors. Now, you can run both flagship mods beside each other on both FSX and P3D in the future.
ASCA makes use of brilliant cloud and sky textures to paint the perfect image. It also utilizes excellent 3D cloud models that make the sky look far more alive than before. With this, real-time cloud dynamics can be seen to ensure that weather-influenced variety creeps into play. This means that realistic changes occur during your flight, reducing the need to keep signing in and out.
Fully compatible with various graphics add-ons to make sure you can have a wonderful overall picture. However, please be aware that if you wish to use dynamic texture reloads you will need to use both AS16 and ASCA together.
About Active Sky
Designed as the comprehensive way for flight simulation fans to have truer designs in simulation, Active Sky does what it says on the tin; it improves the sky. In the past, the sky in simulators has just been a dull texture with nothing much going on; it lacked the depth and precision that was needed. Active Sky is one of the modifications to try and change this problem. Not only does using this ensure you get a far more comprehensive solution to the skies in FSX, it improves the atmosphere tenfold.
You’ll find that the whole world look far more authentic in simulation when used in this manner. Not only can you make your flights more engaging, you can actively improve your piloting experience. The more authentic the performance in the simulator, the more likely you are to become the best pilot that you possibly can!

Makes use of the potential for stronger and more authentic skies within simulation. Enhances the overall weather engine of the simulator, as well. This makes sure that your overall flight experience can reflect that of a genuine pilot much easier. Using this mod, you can easily utilize realistic flight scenarios.
This is because weather plays such a key role. With major new changes such as greatly improved thunderstorm effects, you’ll get to enjoy the real danger of flying an aircraft. Thunderstorms are terrifying to fly in, and this mod will make them so. You have to try and avoid thunder storms now, instead of flying through them as you may have done in the past!
However, this improvement to weather and scenery should not hamper your performance. You can still receive high frame rates and a greater level of overall reliability when flying. Although this changes a lot, everything in Active Sky has been refined continuously to retain consistent performance.
Nothing in this mod is going to offer your machine a challenge it cannot face. Although it uses unique and exceptionally detailed integration and overall depiction, it still feels great to fly in. with ambient conditions that match reality, flights now feel far more authentic. You can even look at air effects and precipitation, adding another major flight consideration.
High-fidelity air effects like microbursts, downdrafts, updrafts, thermals and more have been included. These help to further add to the challenge of flying, making it much harder than it was in the past to fly with accuracy.
Makes use of the Active Sky API system to give you better integration for other mods. Now you can make use of the advanced radar, icing, wind shearing and overall weather management for yourself.
Uses online historical data to make sure that you can fly in sync with the weather for the last two years. This will ensure that you get authentic flight conditions that mimic that of the real world. This makes it much easier to enjoy days that you remember – why not try and recreate that famous Wednesday afternoon flight to Mallorca?
And much more!
