HST Simulations recommends using their build-in Weatherman only which comes with xAmbience Pro. ![]() It’s possible to use Active Sky XP with xAmbience Pro but then you will miss some of the new features that are soft weather changes, fog layers, and extended cloud draw distances. It’s said to be the best addon to inject real-world weather conditions to XP11. Many of you who have been flying with X-Plane 11 already have been using the HiFi Simulation Technologies weather addon called Active Sky XP. All I need now is this next-generation weather engine for X-Plane 11 until Asobo Studio gets their beautiful sim, MSFS, to the state it’s flyable again for other flights than just look out of the window, aka VFR. For IFR flights, I’ve been happy with the default sceneries out of the box though. The default scenery of X-Plane 11 is sure not VFR navigation compatible if you don’t download the large satellite imageries. Some to mention are the dynamic procedural sky, accurate aerosol conditions, voluminous photoreal clouds, full range of cloud types, rain showers seen from distance, smooth live weather transitions, real-time seasonal changes, snow accumulation on aircraft surfaces, and many more. The soon upcoming xAmbience Pro addon for X-Plane 11 includes many new features not yet seen on the base sim. The price of this addon is USD 34.95 which sure is an affordable option to enhance X-Plane 11 until MSFS is more bug-free or X-Planes 12 comes available. They are now polishing xAmbience Pro, a next-generation weather engine addon for X-Plane 11, for its release on any day now. ![]() I never thought I would buy the already aged XP11 until I ended up on the HST Simulations website. A member of Laminar Research revealed the release of X-Plane 12 happens in the first half of 2022, meaning XP11 isn’t getting any new updates. I’ve always considered X-Plane as the other acceptable sim along with Microsoft Flight Simulator. ![]() ![]() Due to MSFS Sim Update 7 introducing more issues again rather than fixing old bugs, I’m still using an alternative flight simulator, X-Plane 11, to keep flying my online IFR legs with the most accurate live weather conditions. ![]()
