When to use Wx Influenced Textures

Maybe I'm a bit thick today but what's the difference between the following two scenarios and which would be more realistic?1) I select custom textures for clouds, roads, etc and install same. Load a flight - no flight plan - just direct from A to B.2) DO the above except I click Wx Influenced textures.How will what I see using real weather differ from "my" custom selection?Thanx,VicVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/

Thanx, Jim - that explains a bit but I'm probably not asking what I really want to know correctly. :)I always fly with real weather, flight plan or just cruising. Is there a "set and forget" setting that will get me the wx influenced themes for ALL my flights without having to click each time?And, let's see if I have this right - if I have selected a white fluffy cumulus AND then click Wx influenced and the metar shows a stormy situation - ASX will then select , say a darker cumulus to coincide with the stormy conditions. Is that about the logic involved?Last question, if I select Wx once and never again, will the textures loaded ever change?I hope you can see where I'm going with this train of thought.Thanx,VicVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/

Hi Vic,Because not everyone uses XG there is no automatic method. You do need to process a plan or click on the Install X Graphics button.No, colors are not chosen, just the characteristics of the clouds.No, once you submit a texture to FS it will be used until you submit another of the same texture to FS.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
