activesky worth it?

I know this has probably been addressed before but I haven't been in this
forum for awhile...

Is activesky worth the price? It seems to me the big thing with fs2004 was
the weather and clouds.

I just installed it this morning, and it's quite nice! I've only
taken a short test flight with it, but already, I can see a nice
difference. Looking forward to finding lots of interesting weather
for it to produce! I've only had a quick look at the options, so
I'll have to get into all of that now to see what's possible.

So far though, I'd say it's well worth the money!

Still have some questions about it (wxRE). Am running fs8 with
cloud_sprites=0.05 (that's the disappear threshold.. not 0.06) and
don't desire any in-flight weather updates. Mostly make custom weather
...and that's for technical reasons as opposed to eye candy.

Would mainly like to smooth transitions (more gradual or intermediate
steps) between weather regions and avoid rocking wind changes.

What is the FSUIPC requirement? Probably should register that first?
Would really like a weather analyzer (plots-profiles) and custom
configurator the most!!

In a word, yep.


Seriously, it's effect is profound enough to change the whole simulator for
the better.

With 'Servoinfo 2.02' you can press the weather button and find Metar and
TAF reports from any region around the world. Sort the stations using the
windspeed/visibility/ceiling/precipitation sorting option to find any
weather conditions real time you choose to fly in. Go to that location with
Activesky. A whole lot of fun.
