Active Sky Weather Engine: An evolved version of the Active Sky platform brings the core features that made Active Sky the leading weather engine for the other simulators: Advanced weather synthesis and interpolation, high-resolution winds aloft, realistic air and atmosphere effects, a comprehensive weather data network, integrated visual mapping and planning and more.

High-Performance Weather Depiction: Uses internal X-Plane 11.2x/11.3x cloud depiction for maximum performance and smoothness, with multiple weather depiction modes including theme cell “real weather” mode and global static mode – VR compatible and optimized.Active Air Effects: Replaces internal X-Plane turbulence and air effects, providing enhanced turbulence, drafts, thermals, terrain-based wind effects, surface friction, gusts, variability, wake turbulence, microbursts and more.Using a hybrid weather depiction interface through X-Plane 11’s weather API, a realistic, high-performance and high-fidelity weather experience is realised. Sure, maybe it's just a matter of time, and someone will address this, but I feel like this should've been addressed during development.HiFi Simulations has just brought what I consider the best weather-generating program for FSX and Prepar3D simulator to the X-Plane platform for the first time. I am fully aware that MSFS2020 weather system is a whole new world, and that's one of the revolutionary aspect it is bringing in the flight simulation (and that we were still eagerly waiting for) but I still think there should be a way to provide external weather to being able to integrate with online flying platforms, expecially when Microsoft itself announced with great fanfare a VATSIM compatibility. It is true this happened before, but that mostly depended on a particular addon and if you wished to revert to IVAO/VATSIM weather compliancy you could always just deactivate your addon. I don't think weather accuracy is a marginal aspect, and it's not just wind for active runways, it's also QNH to separate flight levels. People have been flying with greatly varying levels accuracy in weather sync for years, many factors including VASIM client, sim capability, addons, different settings and configuration from all of those. This is an issue but I think mostly at the individual level if ONE cares about weather accuracy.
