.....but I'll ask anyway!!When the ASV manual refers having AS5 autoselct textures prior to loading up FS, does it mean prior to clicking on the FS icon on my desktop or does it mean prior to clicking "fly" after selecting aircraft,time of day and departure airport.Currently I run the following sequenceRun ASV - ICS and Random Sky/Env selected. Start Paused unselected. Run FS (from icon)Load in destination airport etcWait for ASV to finish loaing weatherFly.I don't always load a flightplan although I know this means that some features of AS5 won't run.

Hi,Prior to clicking on the FS icon.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
