Way back in the FSX/P3D days I would use ActiveSky but since there isn’t a release of that for MSFS in the foreseeable future, I was contemplating getting Rex weather. I just want to know how consistent it is and how reliable it is after every major sim update. Also how seamless are the transitions?
It’s been buggy since SU5, it certainly works, is quite accurate, and in my opinion handles snow as well as storms (thunder and lightning) much better than default.
That said, there has always been the issue of FPS loss during transition.
- FPS hits at weather transition (this can be overcome by turning off the injection, typically it happens on approach, so once I start decent I just turn off injection, the already injected weather stays which is fine, not going to change much in those 10 minutes)
There’s other things REX has implemented to lessen the blow, Turn off Aerosol, change the injection time, they also recommend turning down Cloud quality if you’re system is lower end.
Lots of info and discussion on their Discord.
I hope that helps.
