Real weather, modeled & injected.
StrataWx is the modern alternative to Active Sky. It feeds live atmospheric data into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 in real time: winds and temperatures aloft, cloud decks, precipitation, pressure, and aviation hazards, written straight into the running sim through its in-game weather engine. No file swaps, no menu fiddling, and none of the abrupt jumps of older weather engines. The weather updates continuously and eases into place while you fly, anywhere on Earth, because StrataWx is built on global forecast models rather than US-only feeds. X-Plane support arrives mid-August.
Includes MSFS 2020 & MSFS 2024
This version of StrataWx includes access to both the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 versions.
MSFS 2020
Full version included
MSFS 2024

Who should purchase this version?
Choose the Dual Licence if you want access to both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, or if you already own one version and want to upgrade to both.
KEY FEATURES
- Truly live injection. StrataWx writes to the sim's in-memory weather API from an in-game toolbar panel, the only path that updates active weather without a reload. It auto-engages the moment you open the app.
- Smooth transitions. Custom per-channel smoothing (coast, then ease out, with a cold-start snap so you load straight into correct conditions) is purpose-built to eliminate the abrupt jumps of older weather engines like Active Sky.
- Multi-layer clouds. StrataWx carries far more than the old three-deck limit, probing the sim's real ceiling at runtime instead of assuming it.
- Global coverage. Winds, temperatures, precipitation, and computed hazards (icing, turbulence, freezing levels, convective bands) are equal fidelity worldwide via Open-Meteo and GFS, with international SIGMET, AIRMET, and PIREP advisories.
- Three modes. Live for current real weather, Historical to replay any past instant from the ERA5 reanalysis archive, and Sandbox to author your own conditions.
- Flight-plan aware. Pull a SimBrief route and preview real weather at each waypoint's planned altitude, with winds, temperatures, and hazards fix by fix.
