HI Bob,Thanks, I am glad you like them from a FE users, don't forget by default clouds are 256x256, you can have better quality with 512x512. Yes clouds have been redone, you can test some setup I have made in the 3d clouds groupe. There is near 1 million possibility of clouds, you can also configure your clouds manually by selecting your stratus, solid cumulus ans wispy type + the texture, then send to fsThere is an update in the works that's will covers more clouds shape and looking, there is too many preference for clouds for each users.ThanksChris WillisHiFi Simulation Software Team Developerhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Sure I will give them a try. I'm sure they are excellent but just afraid I'll lose the water textures but as you say both can be used. Thanks GuysGreat work.Graham

I removed FE, too many darn things going on sometimes with add-ons. I'll use what is needed after I play around with the new AS graphics. So whats the deal with the DXT version of graphics? I have never used them but I thought I have read in the past that some settings may need to be turned off when using DXT.http://www.lemosnet.com/misc/gpilotsig.jpg

Hi,Render to Texture must be turned On in FS04.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Now that I've had some time to really work with ASv6, I just want to tell you guys how great it is. I am just amazed with the quality of the weather presentation and the graphics provided by ASG are just beautiful. Great job to the whole ActiveSky team!KP
