I finally bit the bullet and got active sky, and, WOW!!!! It is simply the most amazing addon I have ever purchased! The graphics are 
, the performance is , simply put, its Really, the little things are what make this program amazing. METAR scrolling across with a weather update, the beautiful cloud layers where FS normally has nothing, the lighting, the smoothness, just beautiful! The only thing I don't like about it is I took so darn long to get it!
It has reawakened my fun side, so I took out this wonderful Atlas Impala over Portland. Lots of clouds, which meant lots of FUN!!!
Oh, this Impala is a real gem too, just needs better sounds (I cannot STAND default sounds) It is by Bjorn Buchner with an FDE update for the 2 seater (shown here) by Bob Chicilo. I got it at flightsim, but I am 90% confident that it's here on the V. It's an older model, but an overlooked gem IMHO.
Comments welcome as always
