GFD150 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Back when FS2004 was popular did anyone use HIFI SIM - ACTIVESKY EVOLUTION? What were your thoughts on it? Did it give you live and current weather? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjones Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yes, I still use it. I quite like it - it works well and can interface with programs like GEP. You get current weather or historical weather - your choice. It can also be used with FSX should you ever transition to that application.

mbrady Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 What do you mean "back when"? I still use both, but I have read that HiFi no longer supports ASE for FS2004. Except for the long loading time ASE is a fantastic way to depict current weather. I still use REX sky and environment textures with ASE doing the depicting of current conditions. When flying from my local airport my fsp weather looks exactly the same as looking out of the window in my computer room. There is no lag time in updating changes in weather. Rain drops on my real world window show as raindrops on my aircraft windscreen. I am curious if anyone has found a better weather app than ASE, if that is possible. Note to OP: Have you seen the Harrier Hides add-on for FS2004? Don't tell me FS2004 is dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I use Evolution, but I use the VATSIM weather servers. I was having an issue where the weather wouldn't change. I don't know why. I've had some issues with my system and I can't quite figure out what the deal is. It might have been the fact I used sysprep to transfer my current OS to the new computer from the old computer. I'm thinking about just wiping the whole damn thing and reinstalling the OS from scratch. Which means I need to back up all kinds of crap. Quite a process. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
