For people who love Active Sky (including myself) HiFi has something cooking for MSFS.

I'm really happy to see this, Active Sky is hands down the best weather engine out there.

Yes, thank you. Air Hauler 2 for MSFS was released today. I was thinking about buying the Rex weather system. As Active Sky was dragging it's feet.

So, I'll just wait for AS for MSFS.

Thanks for sharing! Hopefully it will be a good one.

I went ahead and bought the Rex version to try out. Why, where I live we just had 3 hours of heavy snow. On the 3rd party system I was playing through MSFS I was in a town 70 miles away from the snow.

It was raining where I took off. A break in the clouds from my location to my town. The snow had stopped at my destination, but the ground was half white as the ground was wet. IRL

The Rex system nailed the weather from start to finish. I was amazed to be honest. It was light rain where I took off, my windows iced up as I was in the 172, no de-ice (I could find).

Then a break in the clouds with some sun for about 20 miles. Then clouded back up some at the destination. But on the ground at the destination there was large spots of snow on the ground. The roofs had snow on them. The fields were half covered in snow. The roads were clear as like I said it was wet before the snow.

Pretty good actually. But I'm sure I'll still get Active Sky when it releases. That is if it has the F5 Weather radar window. I liked that a lot, same on every plane.
