    Mac, Linux and 32-bit X-Plane/Windows versions are not supported

    This  product is for X-Plane 11.  For X-Plane 12 support, see the ASXP12 product.

    Introducing HiFi’s first weather engine for the X-Plane platform……

    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

    Limitations

    Not a complete visual cloud rendering replacement

    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 finalized
    We expect our visual cloud rendering replacement technology to debut in Q4 2019, subject to change based on many factors
    ASXP features high-performance cloud depiction with a focus on conditions accuracy, utilizing the X-Plane internal cloud rendering via a hybrid API approach, with two different modes available
    ASXP also features an optional high-performance photo-realistic cloud texture replacement with a simple texture installation wizard

    Windows 64-Bit (v7 or later) Only

    Mac, Linux and 32-bit X-Plane/Windows versions are not supported
    In a networked environment, the ASXP application/client may run on Windows 32-bit (7 or later), but X-Plane must be 64-bit on Windows 64-bit (7 or later)
    We hope to bring additional OS/platform support in the future
    X-Plane version 11.26 or later (64-bit for Windows) is required

    Requirements

    X-Plane v11.26 or later, 64-bit Windows Version (Mac and 32-bit Windows versions are not compatible)
    Windows 7 or later, 64-bit Version
    Active internet connection (broadband recommended)
    500mb available hard drive space
    1GHZ+ CPU
    2GB+ RAM
    OpenGL 3.3 graphics device (nVidia GTX500 or or equivalent, or better)

    I'm really excited about the program. I already had it for P3D.

    People in here has given this a 2-star review for the Xplane variant, but they critizice issues that are not the fault of Active Sky for XP, but are default Xplane limitations that HiFi-Sim (and on one else) can do anything about. Ive used HiFi-products for weather since they came out. I have also tried other products that was fine. But nobody beats AS for simulating weather. They are absolutely amazing.

    This is the most accurate and advanced weather engine for X-Plane 11. It is very easy to use. Inside it has 2 types of clouds: Low Perf/High Perf. But I prefer to use the default one. 10 wind shears out of 10!

    Just had an experience like never before: There was hail and lightnings everywhere, my engine really sturggeld keeping up and it was constantly at 100% thrust. The plane was also shaking so I started climbing to get over the clouds, the moment I enter the clouds the winds get worse and I was really sutrggeling keeping the plane straight. Finally after 2 mins im out of the clouds, I was able to roar the engines a bit back but it was still really shaky. Okay so I just want to land now im going down again, the worst choice in xplane ever. the wind was soo strong I swing the joystick from one side to the other at max turn rate, but I just cant handel it, the plane starts descending really quick, and it startet turning and I just wasnt able to rescue it. Then it stalled while I was stalling I got an wind shear warning and a few seconds after hit the ground. Crazy the weather was just too bad to fly such a small plane, and there was no way to recover. BUY IT

    Finally there is a weather program from HiFi. Since I only fly XP. Because you know what you get. Had the weather programs of HiFi already in the FSX and also in P3D. I'm totally excited. That there are people who are upset about the mistakes that may still exist is just ridiculous. This is the first program of hi-fi for XP and everyone starts out small, but I know that the programs of HiFi are just incredible and you know what you get. Thanks to HiFi for ActiveSky for XP

    Die letzte 2 Sterne Rezension kann man getrost ignorieren (sorry). Das was hier als "nichtmal" Alpha Status benannt wird ist ohne grossen Zweifel von jedem der in XP "zuhause ist" das neue nonplusultra in XP11. So ist es nunmal. Ich gebe zu das es nicht einfach ersichtlich ist wie das Programm zu bedienen ist (Stichwort Global / Non Global depiction mode) aber so eine Wertung ist einfach absurd. Das Programm bietet eindeutig weitaus genauere Wetterdaten als alle anderen Produkte. Ich denke das hier entweder einfach der Programmumfang nicht im geringsten ausprobiert wurde, bzw das Manual gelesen wurde oder man hat eben nicht viel Ahnung was man da so von sich gibt. Überall dort wo Leute sind die weitaus professioneller angehen als der Wohnzimmer-Simmer ist man mit AS zufrieden. Weil es eben das genaueste ist und am meisten Möglichkeiten bietet. Historic Weather, Flightplan laden, die Map, Metars an sich und wie man damit umgeht, die Möglichkeit das Wetter in Simbrief an AS anzugleichen und etliches mehr, welch anderes Tool bietet das? Evt hat der Author vergessen das dieser Kreis um das FLugzeug herum ein problem von XP11 ist und keiner der anderen Wettersimulatoren hat dies bisher besser gemacht. Das ist eine Beschränkung der API in XP und kann eben nicht so ohne weiteres umgangen werden. Dazu kommt das es in XP von Haus aus nun mal eben nur 3 Layer Clouds und Wind gibt. Das ist eben nicht genaug um realistisch Wetter zu simulieren. Sobald es Nebel gibt (der ein Layer schon mal beansprucht) werden eben andere Wolken gelöscht und somit gibt es nie den wirklichen Status in komplizierteren Bedingungen. Ich bin seit Tab 1 Beta Tester und sehe erster Hand was die Devs hier an Arbeit leisten um diese XP Beschränkungen zu umgehen. Das kann sich vermutlich keiner vorstellen.... Schön das XP für manche die "bessere" Sim sein mag, leider vergessen die Leute das es eben XP ist der diese Uralt Engine implementiert und alle Devs schauen können wie sie damit umgehen. Noch dazu kommt das es von Seiten LM 0 Unterstützung gibt um das Thema anzugehen. Die sind auf so hohem Ross das es nicht mal in Betracht gezogen wird. So ist das leider in XP.

    I honestly can't understand the good critcism for this product. I want to read the reviews, if such a product would be released for P3Dv4. HiFi always stands for innovative and amazing weather in FSX/P3D. But what they provide for X Plane 11 is a joke, to be honest. - Bad weather with a "ring" around the aircraft with a good weather on the horizon. - inaccurate weatherdata (visual to metar) - very bad visualisation for weather in general. - horrible turbulences and missing wind data. What is it that XP only has this alpha/beta kind of weather plugins? 2 stars for still the best weather data out there. I don't recommend this product at all at the moment!

    Heiß ersehnt und dann die Ernüchterung. In P3D hat HiFi das Wetter revolutioniert, die Darstellung auf Entfernung, Genauigkeit der Wetterdaten. All das in X-Plane? Weit gefehlt! Die Darstellung in XP ist einfach nur grußlig. Ein Ring um das eigene Flugzeug bei schlechtem Wetter, wo am Horizont strahlend blauer Himmel wartet, fehlende bzw. übertriebene Turbolenzen und ungenaue Wetterdaten werden hier geliefert. Wieso HiFi ein Wettertool herausbringt, das noch nicht mal einem "Alpha"Status gerecht wird, ist mir ein Rätsel. Das komplette Tool macht den Anschein, als ob HiFi nicht wirklich eine Ahnung hat, wie man das Wetter in XP überhaupt darstellen soll. Der Release war dafür gedacht, um das Weihnachtsgeschäft abzugreifen. So jedenfalls der Anschein. Weiterhin für mich die Ernüchterung. XP hat damit immer noch große Schwierigkeiten im Bereich Wetter. Sehr schade, da der XP für mich die bessere Simplattform ist. 2 Sterne für trotzdem noch die besseren Wetterdaten. Keine Kaufempfehlung meinerseits.

    A must have for X-Plane. I've been using HiFi's weather engine since 2012 and no other weather addon stand a chance against it when it comes to precise weather depictions. However, the ASXP is not at its full potential due to XPL's API is subject to change, give it some time.

    This is an excellent product and I know it's only going to get better. Weather is so much better now on my flights and I look forward to their cloud art in the future.
