Maybe I missed it but does it enhance the real weather with visuals or create weather and how does it affect the xplane weather? Also is this in place of active sky or do you use them together?

There's different options. So, you can make it simply enhance the visual like clouds, atmospheric lighting etc. Or you can enable the live weather function to make it use its own live weather (which I do not recommend). You can pair this with active sky and it works brilliant which is what I sied to do pre the 12.1 beta update. Now I just use default as this addon doesn't work well with 12.1 and therefore needs an update.

Thx! Is their aim to eliminate the need for Active Sky XP or to complement it?

I believe they want to provide an alternative, but also make it compliment each other so the user has the choice.

Great Video. I already have Active Sky for Xplane 12, in that case is the BASIC version the best one to get?

I would recommend getting the premium edition at least, for the amazing night lighting and water enhancements. This will give you everything apart from the live weather functionality, which you have covered from Active Sky XP

I do have to agree with that. I bought the Basic version, but because of the volumetric lights and maybe also clouds (wing fade?), and environmental enhancements, I'd like to get the upgraded version.@@DrishalMAC2

Yep the upgraded version is for sure worth it! The enhanced night lighting and water is really nice! Also the live weather is getting a overhaul very soon!

FIIIIIIIRST, lol edit: on a serious note is how do you combine this with activesky4xp, because visualxps metar generation is usually pretty inaccurate and you mentioned it works with asxp, do you have a tutorial on how to do that?

Unfortunately I don't have Active Sky myself, however to get them working together I believe all you need to do is run Active Sky as you normally would and then in VisualXP just make sure the live weather functionality is off. I don't think there's anything you have to do additionally. If you need any more help then do let me know either in the comments or in my discord (link in description) Thanks for watching!

the visual xp metar was for 1400z, and the metar/taf you showed was for 1430z. Can you take a closer look at live weather engine again ? Especially with how transitions between metar updates are handled. Given how windy most of Northern Europe is today, it should provide lots of opportunities if you have the time. Thanks for making the review.

Hey man! Ah yes you are right! Thanks! I will probably wait for the weather engine overhaul coming within the next few weeks and then make a video on that. I didn't cover the live weather stuff in too much detail purely because I knew its getting a overhaul soon anyway. Stay tuned!

@@DrishalMAC2 another review of VisualXP had the same issue, in that the time of the metars was different when they were comparing. I'm really interested in the wx engine as the laminar default one also is inaccurate sometimes. Any ETA of the wx engine overhaul ?
