Which weather generator

[LouP]

Ok first of many questions I'm sure. I am getting ready to jump into FSX and I've been using AS 6.5 for FS9 but see that there is alternative for FSX so I was wondering what folks were using and why.

Thanks,
LouP

Active Sky Advanced (ASA). I had been using HiFi's AS for years, so I am comfortable with it. I already had ASA in place. before REX was released, and couldn't see spending money on a similar product. A lot of folks seem to like REX, but ASA does what I want, and I've always been happy with it.

I use REX. It better depicts the Arctic and WX and also magnifies the beauty and WX in the tropics and my frames are still fluid.

Above are good, but the freeby FSMetar is very good and gets up and running a lot quicker than the payware ones. Get it here

REX2 for me and I love it and no frame rate hits either.

PCTools said this had a Trojan.CWS with it and quarenteened it fast...

I have been happy with ActiveSky 5/6.5, X, and Advanced.

Thanks guys,

Anyone using AS graphics? If so, what do you think?

I've been using ASA with XGraphics since release and really like them.

I really like what can be done with them in creating "Snapshots" or different combos of graphics that ASA can use randomly when it loads up.

One very nice feature of ASA is that it can use the graphics environment add-ons from other sources such as GEX and I believe REX also. It's not limited to using the default or XG for creating the Snapshots.

McAfee would not even let me go to the site?
