Performance is 100% better than 5.0 and crisper. Again, I use another weather engine for this anyway.
HIFI ACTIVE SKY NEXT VS REX 4 FULL
It shows as connected to P3D and has full functionality for generating the custom weather, just not the LIVE weather. It will load weather profiles and scenarios in seconds. I also flew a flight in the linked video demonstrating all of the above and even proved that Active Sky does connect to the sim and work, its just as_connect that does not generate the LIVE weather.

I use REX SkyForce to run the weather generation within P3Dv5.1 and I use Active Sky to run ASCA for the sky colours.Īll this works with SODE and GSX, multiple airports and aircraft running with Orbx products as well with TrueSky active and HDR as well. There are several steps to go through and involve uninstalling certain addons and then reinstalling them and changing their values before using them.ĪCTIVE SKY DOES NOT CRASH THE SIM, NOR DOES SODE, OR ANYTHING I TRY IN THE SIM THAT PEOPLE CLAIM HAVE CRASHED THEIRS.Īctive Sky does not load live weather, but I dont use it for that anyway.
HIFI ACTIVE SKY NEXT VS REX 4 HOW TO
I demonstrated how to uninstall 5.0 and install 5.1 which depending on how you run your sim, will depend on how you install it. I showed LIVE on stream how to make sure your pc and OS is ready to install (after uninstalling 5.0) to ensure there are no issues during 5.1 usage. This does not affect my sim as shown in the video link below.Īlso, until some addons are made comptaible with P3Dv5.1, crashes can be expected using the affected addons, although I have yet to find an addon that has crashed 5.1 Even GSX items suffer from this and is also the reason why some people may experience jaggy lines of clouds all over buildings. As everyone uses Global Base Im sure, you will see alot of items in the sim that stand out from the weather and lighting, this is not a fault of P3D, but the affected addons. P3Dv5.1 totally works if installed correctly and one thing should be noted about addons, even Orbx products is that some sim objects that were made a certain way, will not interact with TrueSky correctly (unless they are re-made) as they may have been used in the past using outdated and non-supported techniques.
