From high-quality cloud and sky graphics to real-time weather condition transition and depiction, this is a complete and robust system that provides the highest level of realism possible through all facets of weather simulation. ActiveSky is designed, built, tested and maintained by an assortment of real-world pilots, experienced simulator enthusiasts and meteorological experts.
At the heart of Active Sky is the weather engine itself, which uses advanced intelligence and logic routines to obtain weather data and synthesize it into a beautiful and realistic depiction within the flight simulator. The produst utilizes station-based distant weather depiction and transition capability instead of limiting depictions to a single global area. Enhanced Weather-Influenced Graphics Selections are available via the new IGS (Intelligent Graphics Selection) system integrated with ActiveSky Graphics. More realistic conditional selection processes are based on air stability, visibility, surface wind, and aloft wind conditions. Everything has been fine-tuned to provide better visuals in realistic real-time (or offline) weather depiction. The new Wx-Finder interface makes it easy to find any kind of weather you're looking for, with easy quick-find buttons, advanced search parameters, and ICAO prefix filtering.
