There are both early renders with showing a very detailed naturally-aspirated version with the IO-520-F engine, but not the Turbo version, and completed flying images.

The C208B released only a few months ago from Thranda was a step away from the earlier bush utility style aircraft, and this announcement of their next aircraft in the U206G Stationair is a step more into pure General Aviation territory. Carenado are now in limbo, but remember that all Carenado aircraft were supported in X-Plane by Daniel Klaue, hence now Thranda Design. One aircraft I really liked from Carenado was the StationAir. But I'd wait because there's a new weather add-on coming (xAmbience) and it could be the one to get.NEWS! - Announcement : Thranda announces Cessna U206G Stationair If your computer can handle medium settings, I highly recommend 圎nviro. When I added up all I invested in weather add-ons for XP, it was double what I paid for 圎nviro. If you want smooth weather transitioning, NO!ĪSXP, along with xVision, the two most recommended weather add-ons for XP are excellent, but the lack of smooth transitioning or lack of distant clouds ruins the experience for me. The Active sky XP sales pitch looks good, but will it actually deliver these things? Looking for an honest opinion from current users.

I want to see real cumulonimbus clouds that top out in the 30's and 40's. And the next thing that was a no go was the lack of thunderstorms and high altitude weather in general.

Xenviro is not an option for me as i only fly in VR, so how is active sky XP in comparison? The things I hated about xp weather were that the weather changed instantly, you couldn't see an approaching weather system and fly into it. Im thinking about getting xplane going again but I wont bother if the weather is still as it was 2 years ago. Lately I've been playing around with msfs 2020 but Im really missing the flight dynamics and system fidelity of xplane and p3d. I havent fired up XP in a couple of years now, I really liked the sim but I ended up going back to p3d due to the lack of realistic weather.

Active sky xp plane really bouncy
