I am a verified user, I simply purchased the program directly on the creator's website, the program does exactly what I was missing, it automatically plays sounds automatically to the phases of the flight, it does not need any other program - which I consider a big plus. I also had a few questions for the author, the answer was immediate. Thanks.
A little disappointed with my first Simmarket store buy, not recommend it.
It's worth it even just for the Active Air Simulation. Much better than CAT 2.0. Until MSFS publishes weather API, the passive mode is the only option for best weather transitions, though not always same as METAR.
I've been flying with Active Sky FS and it's hard not to admire how it's improved the weather experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Weather is no longer just a meaningless single layer of fluffy clouds; it's an essential part of my flight planning, especially with its seamless integration with SimBrief and my PMDG 737. This integration ensures that my flight plans are always in sync with the weather conditions, making for a more immersive experience. ASFS reintroduces the diversity of cloud formations at various altitudes, making flights visually stunning and dynamically challenging. The thunderstorms are a particular highlight, with towering clouds and realistic lightning effects that add a thrilling layer of realism to the simulation. It's not just about the looks—ASFS adds weather effects like turbulence, microburst, and wind variations that the default simulator simply doesn't offer, enhancing both the challenge and realism of each flight. While ASFS isn't the ultimate solution to all the weather simulation issues in MSFS 2020, with regular updates and new features it could be taking steps in the right direction to becoming the definitive weather mod for MSFS. It's important for users to adjust the weather update frequency and smoothing rates to find the right balance for a seamless transition between different weather conditions—include your SimBrief flight plan in ASFS to make weather transitions far less noticeable. In conclusion, even though ASFS might not have solved every weather simulation issue yet, it certainly enriches the flight simulation experience with features and effects that are absent in the default setup. For anyone looking to enhance their MSFS 2020 weather realism, Active Sky FS is definitely worth considering. Ultimately, these are just my personal thoughts and experiences. However, I do not believe it is just a “cash grab” or exactly the same as other weather mods out there.
I bought it and I can only say that I like what it delivers. You can't expect much when you have closed API from the sim itself. Though gives you the missing effects the sim is missing and in my humble opinion, a nice touch to the weather.
Masterfully done as always !!! The best scenery developer in the Philippines !!!
So the wait is over. I only can say wow. Thats the best 1.0 Release for a long time. The model flight dynamics and systems are massive. I love the work with the wso. It brings me in my dream. So i am studiing it and will fly it all the time :D thx a lot
It may not be exactly transformative for MSFS weather, but in my eyes, it depicts a greater and more realistic assortment of cloud formations, better winds, better turbulence effects and realistic thunderstorms. More importantly, for those critics who thought this was a 'cash grab', the developer has already pushed out a major update and has another lined up for imminent release. The support will continue, and this add-on will continue to improve. IMO, for the price, I have found it adds to my sim experience, and I'll fly with it all the time.
I bought version V5.1 thinking it was optimized for the latest versione of msfs 2020... but it crashed dramatically my fps. Disistalled.. a completely wasted money :(
Being in Colorado I love what this adds to the realism. Lifts are mostly accurate but did notice my favorite lift was missing. Still think this addon is a great idea.
