FSX Improvements?

Well, I just threw down $50.00 for Active Sky Advanced. . .based almost completely on what I remember from using Active Sky when I flew FS9. . .I really liked it. One thing I dislike as I get older is stuff that gives the appearance of being complicated. . .I don't like complicated. . .after living this long I figure I deserve "easy", not complicated, so before I do any sort of critique I'm going to read the manual and go back over the program in it's entirety and make sure that my first impression was wrong, lol, lol.

Well, I'm going to continue to give ASA some slack since I'm still learning how to use it. Thus far. . .it's about even with the FSX weather engine (Jeppeson).
 
So far, some excellent suggestions guys, thanks.I too am very interested in people's experiences with the various packages available.

For leisure use, I use Acceleration on a Quadcore with a 9 series G force card
and buckets of ram. So frame rates aren't really an issue.

Im a bit of a warbird fan as you know, and 'miss the old RAF fields terribly. So I'd go for something that'll give me Britain as it looked in the 40's. Scenery I think I can find, it's setting up the rest that is the challenge.

I was a great fan (still am actually) with the work that was done for FS9 and the Golden Age period. That made simming so evocative.:engel016:
