In SP4, you get access to a gluttony of new changes that help to completely alter the performance and design of the sky across many different indicators.
Sometimes, it can be nice to get those extra little touches of character and class from your simulation and with the introduction of Service Pack Four you can get the most comprehensive picture yet. Introducing a fresh load of features and changes that freshen up, improve and optimize the entire experience for Active Sky Next users these adjustments make it easier than ever to get the most response possible. Until then we have to patiently wait, knowing that Active Sky is arguably the most respected weather engine that has been available in consumer flight sims, and it’s definitely exciting to see what Damian and his team are going to come up with for the new Flight Simulator.For all fans of Active Sky Next, the latest edition of this must-have add-on is here! There’s still no formal announcement, but that will hopefully come at a later stage. Now, tired of waiting for official support, and since third-party support for weather apps now seems to not be planned anymore, HiFi will wait no longer and will start working on his own product.ĭamian also said that they are trying to bring to MSFS as many core features (and a few new ones) as possible from Active Sky, most of which are not included in the sim. Interestingly, on a more detailed discussion over at AVSIM, Damian also stated that the lack of support for weather functions in the SDK isn’t something that prevents the development of third-party weather apps (as we’ve seen from those that have been released already), although official support would definitely be welcome.Īlso, about the apparent delay in announcing their plans for MSFS, Damian confessed the team was listening for the public statements from Microsoft and Asobo, asking developers to “wait”, because they were not done yet with the weather system. So, it seems pretty clear that HiFi is working on something. As long as our customers keep asking for more, we’ll keep working hard. But users demand better weather experiences, and we think we can deliver, so we keep at it, despite incredible challenges. It’s no big deal, we are quite used to having our “toes stepped on” and then some in this very tough industry. We could have done that a long time ago but at least we are on track now that we know we’ll never have MSFS developer support or SDK access.
Well it’s obvious they are indirectly encouraging non-SDK weather access techniques (3 popular wx add-ons now), so we have already begun doing that as well. Talking about the idea of the sim’s weather being more open to third-party devs, Damian said: In a thread on the official Flight Simulator Forums, Damian Clark from HiFi Technologies, makers of popular weather engine Active Sky, has seemingly confirmed that the team is working on bringing their popular software to MSFS.
