Newbie Questions For Asa

Featured Replies

I have just downloaded and installed ASA and have a few questions. I am trying to get my head around how ASA works. I like to fly with real world weather and as I understand it to display cloud textures I need to install say X-Graphics or REX and take snapshots of those textures. I have purchased REX but am hesitant to install it due to the various problems users seem to be experiencing so now I am considering X-Graphics as an alternative. Can someone explain to me in very simple terms how to load textures into ASA and then how to simply fly using real world weather with those textures. Also if no snapshots are taken, will ASA just use FSX textures to display weather?Thanks in advance for your patience explaining to a newbieAndrew

Hi Andrew,Thanks for the purchase!Using REX you would load textures into FSX and then use ASA to take snapshots.Using X Graphics you can tell ASA to automatically generate your textures sets.I hope this answers your questions.Thanks,

So you would recommend X-Graphics with ASA for ease of use?

That is the most ease of use solution there is and it will produce excellent results. :(
