Active Sky Next is a weather and aerodynamics add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Prepar3D, and X-Plane. Developed by HiDRA Software, Active Sky Next is designed to provide a more realistic and immersive flying experience by simulating real-world weather conditions, air traffic, and aerodynamics.

Active Sky relies on a constant connection to HiFi’s proprietary weather servers to download live data. "Patched" versions are often blocked from these servers, rendering the primary feature of the software—live weather—useless.
