For some reason my FSX weather is loading the sky as overcast. I do use Active Sky but even when not using it I cannot change the overcast condition. Sky is gray. Any ideas on this one.

Is your Activesky set on historical weather or live mode? Mine sometimes kicks into historical for some reason without my input.

You should be able to force clear skies but yes, if you're flying online, vatsim weather (real world metars) will override what weather settings you set in FSX.

I cannot get the skies to clear. I set FSX weather to clear skies and still get just gray skies.
