jorgen.s.andersen Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Take a look at their homepage: http://hifisimtech.com/ and maybe drop a question in their support forum. I have it (for the boxed FSX) and it works fine. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgon Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I use AS16 + Clouds with FSX-SE quite happily. There is minimal hit on FPS. [emoji4] Best, Phil https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKdirect/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 There is minimal hit on FPS. That depends heavily on the cloud graphics quality and the number of cloud layers you choose to use. OTOH that counts for every weather addon, not just AS16. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomTweak Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I use FSX:SE and for that I use FSRealWX Lite. Works great. FSRealWX works even better. Both are great, and, more importantly to my mind, they're free. I'm a broke, cheap SOB. Frugal, that is. VERY frugal...

JSkorna Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I have ASN next 2016 and Steam edition FSX. Works just fine for me. Maz Wait! ASN = Active Sky Next - Can be used with FS2004 and FSX Boxed/Steam ASN next = No such thing. AS 2016 = Can be used with FSX Boxed/Steam/P3D if the proper license is purchased. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu1967 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I just tried to download the free version and the website shows the Lite version no longer available and 20 Euros for the pro version. Trial is good for 20 days. Any other suggestions? I too m poor (And Old)!! Habu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If you mean FSRealWX, it's sort of like FSUIPC. The demo version is free, and you can keep using it as long as you like, just like the way FSUIPC works. I have a demo version I downloaded back in December of '14, and it still works fine. Just like FSUIPC, if you don't pay, a lot of the features don't work, but the basics function just as though you payed. So, essentially, it's freeware. I am just missing out on some features I probably wouldn't use anyway. No great loss, in my little pea-brain. Have fun!

Skywatcher12 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Wait!ASN = Active Sky Next - Can be used with FS2004 and FSX Boxed/Steam I think you meant P3D not FS2004 The discontinued Evolution was the last for FS2004 Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
