What exactly is ActiveSky anyway? Best I could tell, it's merely something that affects weather for the visual aspect of things.

I have ActiveSky Next, purchased from Steam.

The UI isn't all that accessible unfortunately.
For those of you with ActiveSky 2016, do you need to run ActiveSky before you run fsx and load a flight. It looks like you need to with ActiveSky Next.

I wouldn’t get Active Sky Next. It is the old version of Active Sky at this point. Active Sky 2016 is what you want. All you have to do is install it, say yes to the dialogue boxes that come up the first time you run it and you are all set.

For my fellow BVI Pilots who are using JAWS.

Just curious to know how blind friendly or if there’s any tips and or tricks for

1. installing active sky next.

2. Setting it up so it will work with IYP, FSX and of course JAWS.

How blind friendly is the UI?

Many Thanks.

Ron who now only has five programs to grab before he starts flying once again.
