...Active Sky, that is  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

Thanks!  Actually, this was odd.  When I was looking at it full size in photoshop it seemed very jaggy, but when I resized it it looked much better!

Great picture...I just love that bird...nice weather configuration as well  8-)

Come on now, it's not THAT good

It is, don't take it down, the weather I mean.

What is more amazing than the weather is the performance!  Last night I flew through the same weather system only farther to the east.  I was in the top layer of 2 cloud layers, 100% 3D clouds and High cloud coverage, averaging 19 FPS (locked at 20).  I love active sky

Very nice. Makes me want to fly.
