Hey everyone,Is it possible for activesky to auto submit textures from flight environment??? If yes, how do you do it??? Or is it possible to import flight environment textures in the AS graphics and set it up to choose from the list automatically based on weather forecast???I read AS manual and it says that it can auto submit IGS textures-based. What is IGS???Could someone please helpMany thanks

HelloIGS is explained in the ActiveSky Graphics manual that you received with AS6.5(C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Modules\ASGraphics\User Guide\)AS 6.5 can send its weather data to GE Pro, GE pro can then submit ground textures and sky textures based on this weather dataIt cannot do this with Flight Environment.WeatherMaker Pro 4.9 the forerunner to the weather engine included in REX2004 could do this with Flight Environment.Activesky Advanced (ASA) can use textures from all your texture programs, automatically building texture sets in the case of Activeskyand assigning them to the different weather categories.You can also take a "snapshot" of your installed textures and assign them to specific conditions for submission based on matching conditions.

Salut Maddog,Thanks for your quick response and helpful advice.I have so many textures programs that i really cant decide which one to use. They are all very good in my opinion. I'm trying to find a way to group all textures i have from all those programs (flight environment, rex2004, zinertek weather environment) into one folder under just one program and auto select with AS.It's quite a shame that each time i want to use one program i.e flight environment or others, i have to go in it first, installed the textures and then launch AS. It would have been much more simple to use just one program.Sorry for asking so many questions. I used to regard FS as a game but now i'm in the process of reinstalling everything for serious simming and i want to get it right this time.

Hi,When Active Sky v6.5 was released, many years ago, most of those texture programs didn't even exist! How would we have interfaced with software that wasn't even around back then?As mad dog explained so very well, Active Sky Advanced can now do much of this because ASA is a "newer" program and we were aware of the environmental texture programs that are available.Thanks!

Than you should update it...a little. There is so many of us still using it, and not planing to go for ASA. It's like FS2004 or FSX.

Thanks for your reply.Please dont get me wrong. I love Activesky and it's the top of all the addons i have. I dont mind updating to AS Advanced as long as i am assured that i will be able to reach my goal. Please could u confirm this.Many thanks Many thanks.

dally,The update is ASA. We are not going to go back to a quite old program, ASv6.5, and try to integrate any texture programs with it. Use your texture programs and submit your textures into FS04 and then ASv6.5 will use those textures.mwj,I am not sure what your ultimate goal is, but if it is to collect environmental texture combinations and then allow ASA to submit a set of those based on weather conditions, then ASA will do that.Any other questions can be asked!Thanks,
