alexzar14 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Can someone please explain how does it work together with AS2016? Isn't it a weather engine in its own right? How does it work by itself and together with ASN/AS2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Can someone please explain how does it work together with AS2016? Isn't it a weather engine in its own right? How does it work by itself and together with ASN/AS2016? Simple, it adds to the total number of selections available AND adds to the dynamic selections available in-sim if you use it with AS. It's a texture selection, NOT a weather engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexzar14 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 How does a texture selection software effect dynamic visuals if I still rely on ActiveSky for the "brain function", now I wonder. Otherwise the theory sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vgbaron Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 AS16 decodes the metar. It then sends this info to ASCA which determines which texture sets to use depending on a) the weather and b) the weather types you have checked. The more textures the greater weather variance as you transition from one area to another.

alexzar14 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Most feedbacks are not in favor of ASSA, people still prefer REX. And with REX Envtex does not work, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgbaron Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 No it does not and more and more people are switching to ASCA. There arew quite a few who initially ignored the original textures but haven't checked the new offerings in ASCA. Coupled with Envtex I much prefer it over REX. Especially in the dynamic settings.

mallcott Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Most feedbacks are not in favor of ASSA, people still prefer REX. And with REX Envtex does not work, correct? No, but it does not offer dynamic texture replacement anyway, so either your understanding of ASCA is not correct, your knowledge of REX incomplete, or both. However, Envtex does replace some of the textures installed by REX if desired, so still adds to the total number of alternatives on offer. The next generation of REX will be the competitor to the current ASCA Envtex does NOT currently offer dynamic texture replacement REX changes more textures than Envtex, currently For further guidance, please ask specific questions. Your misunderstanding of the basic parameters of each is clouding your judgment. And `most feedbacks` is neither quantifiable, nor verifiable. HOw many? where? links? Like Vic I do not recognize that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Thanks Vic. I already got Envtex but haven't tried it, one thing I don't like is that it doesn't let me select clouds or water textures only (separately), have to install everything there is. I will get ASCA and move with the crowd if that's the way it is, you're good at explaining stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not have to keep correcting these bog-basic errors: It's P3D, not FSX . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not have to keep correcting these bog-basic errors: It's P3D, not FSX . I was talking about Envtex, not ASCA. For now Envtex is not usable for me, it installs 90% then installation process freezes. I'm yet to worry about Envtex but now enjoying it with ASCA which has triggered an interest in leisure GA flying which otherwise I believed was boring. I had to invest $400 into Orbx scenery (around Washington and near Canada) and GA aircraft but now at last GA is an experience that delivers fun! (scenery settings can be maxed out unlike airliners flying). I also did a flight with PMDG NGX and ASCA, I've not yet developed an opinion of ASCA+airliner flying, but for GA flying it is awesome.
