No, I don´t care about nice clouds, I´ve been living for years witn my old rex clouds. Is there anything better regarding of winds, depiction, smoothness than it is in ASN ?

AS2016 provides better weather depiction over ASN. It fixes the cloud depiction issue at high latitudes, more accurately simulates storms and associated downdrafts and shears, enhances its weather radar capability, and includes Navigraph support for its map and flight planning capabilities. Overall, it more accurately simulates weather in the sim, including smooth weather changes and cloud cover depiction.

Thank you much @RudiJG1 , I think I´ll get it as it´s on sale !

I definitely find AS16+ASCA (I haven't tested without the combo) a very nice improvement over ASN+REX Soft Clouds, both in looks and in weather depiction and smoothness. Given platform limitations, it is very, very good, and just about the only thing I find poor enough to easily get noticed without specifically looking for things to criticize is the thermal modeling. I'd say get it to anyone who's not having a specific reason of sticking with another weather engine provider or something.
