Msfs weather system may have its flaws, but unless you’re a real life pilot, I just can’t see the point in getting this? It’s like going back in time 10 years. I want to see distant weather fronts in my sky, that’s the beauty of the msfs weather system, it’s modern! I would rather take the msfs negative issues with their weather system than deal with decade old issues such as clouds popping in in front of me or no distant weather systems visible. And to the people complaining about the MSFS clouds, to me they’re brilliant. I spent two decades in FS9 and Xplane, the msfs clouds are like stepping in to a Ferrari compared to that!
To each their own, but for me it’s a pass.

What do you get with default sim weather?
I had the default on live weather and it picked up the correct live weather

I’ve not used it but if it’s anything like Rex, you set the sim weather to clear skies, then the program can inject the weather. Unless you are using it in Passive mode, and I understand it then injects other effects like turbulence instead.
Set the in sim weather to clear skies but it’s not injecting any weather waiting on a ticket response from Hi Fi Zendesk
Of course, but that is only one downside of this. The entire sky is still filled with the same preset. For instance, imagine a situation where there is a clear area between two cloud bands. One moment you are in global overcast conditions, the next clear, and then back to overcast. You won’t even be able to see the clear area approaching. The sky is like a chameleon, changing its appearance depending on where you are flying over.
As you can see I have now moved airports I’m now at Manchester but with the same problem no injected weather working
Does it show that it is connected to the Simulator, and did you have Active Sky running BEFORE launching the Sim?
It shows it’s connected to the sim and I ran active sky before I ran MSFS as per instructions from the manual
There were a few reports from streams I watched where the connector had to be re-installed to get it going, might be worth a try?

There is a ‘Depicition smoothing rate’ setting in ASFS that controls the speed of weather transition through values on a scale of 0 to 100. The higher it is, the faster the transition will be.
The default value is 50, which practically guarantees an almost instantaneous transition like the one shown in the video. It’s recommended to set it to 5 for a much smoother transition.

Where do you find this transition setting ?
Open Active Sky FS. Click on Options → Simulator depiction settings → Depiction smoothing rate
I had this problem. Do you have XEnviro? You’ll need to delete it from the community folder. That solved the problem for me.
Yes I have, I did delete it and I don’t see xenviro in Community folder, I have to check again because it seems that I have two community folders it looks like… I’ll take a look!

Maybe I’m getting to old and befuddled but I followed the manual, read every comment in here and reloaded it several times by opening AS before MSFS, injecting before, during and after the load, tried the injection once on the runway, Passive mode, deleted toolbar thingy, tried reinstalling to the same drive as MSFS, Live WX on and off and…Waiting for simulator…clear skies…waiting for simulator…
I’m going to give it another try later when I’m not so frazzled from work but this is currently shaping up to be the first bit of DLC I’m getting a refund for.
That’s the 7th or 8th location and still no weather injection I give up 
Yeap same here! Still diggingand waiting for the support feedback, I sent a ticket
