REX Weather Force for MSFS

Some might say buying REX Weather Force (and other similar weather addons) for MSFS would provide as much of an advantage as buying ORBX True Earth regions for it... 😐 Discuss... 🤔
 
The least attractive part of this addon is the same thing that I never liked about their weather simulations in previous sims - that being the sudden weather changes every time the latest weather information is injected. It completely kills the experience/immersion. The default live weather in MSFS right now is not perfect, but at least the weather changes/develops naturally and with no sudden changes. As with nearly everything in MSFS, Asobo is still working on it/fine-tuning it, and we haven't seen the best of it yet. I'd rather be patient than spend money that might be considered wasted in the long-run.
 
For FSX/P3D I was extremely happy with Active Sky products. They were constantly upgraded and the latest versions had a very smooth weather change system. I combined AS with REX textures and the result was really immersive.

In MSFS I am happy for the moment with the native system. What I miss is the ability to apply historic weather, which I could do with AS. For example, I would like to recreate in MSFS my last afternoon real flight and compare but I will need to adjust the weather manually to match, unless there is a way in MSFS to go back in time for weather and I have not found it.

Thx for info, the same it was with Sky Force 3D and his engine for P3Dv4.4+. It was very frustrating. After few patches (and quite long time) REX solved this but the transformation into Active Sky P3D looks much better anyway. Perhaps I'll wait for HiFi addon again. In P3D I use REX textures (weather engines are off) but weather engine is from HiFi. I need also Weather Report during flight. I dont know if REX offers this or not in this addon. For Active Sky its Ctrl+F11 (current contition).
