Yes it can, if you are a GEX user as well :( GEX North America 1.09GEX Europe 1.02Back to topic : tried ASE around my local airport for a short flight and had extremely good weather depiction and turbulence. Great job HIFI !

i assume ASE is compatible with REX? Do you just not use the weather feature of REX?krswen

Correct,My process goes like this as I have not played around with Snapshots in ASA/ASE...Launch ASE and allow it to loadLaunch FSBuildCreate Flight Plan in FSBuildImport Flight Plan into ASE and allow it to processDo not install Snapshot but CancelInstall GE Pro texturesLaunch REXGo to I want to fly a flight planUse real world wxImport FSBuild Flight PlanFill in all fields (aircraft/alternate/airspeed/altitude)Tell Rex to processThen click Install Wx textures from REXOnce done close REXBada Bing Bada Boom you got ASE (ASA), GEPro and REX all playing together like one big happy family :( :( Paul

Thanks for the GEX info. I'm on that the second it goes live. :(

I dunno if its a placebo effect because its a shiny new program or what, but I just loaded up a flight at the local airport and looked outside (in real life) and they looked exactly the same. ASX and ASA got close, but not like this. :(I wonder if the temperature issues were fixed with ASE? I guess I'll try it out on a flight later.

Love ASE. I see and enjoy the difference. Better airplane movement in more realistic turbulence. Weather is "right on" in my home airport. Good job, HiFi.Thank you for the gift.Stan

Have to agree even though it might be FS9. Much more accurate weather depiction and implementation of ceilings. No massive barometer or wind shifts yet despite some limited sudden cloud draws. -Paul

Seems like more advertising.

Seems like more advertising.

How is a regular user in no way associated with a developer letting other users know about a new release that snuck out and took us all by surprise advertising?Its not like this is my first post and I just registered and magically came in ranting about some phenomenal add-on no one has ever heard of ;) Was the post about AES 2.06 advertising, or my post about EHAM, or the posts about Manchester? Not everything needs to be so cynical and suspicious, sometime some of us are really just excited and trying to help out fellow simmers -Paul

Seems like more advertising.

Since it is a FREE upgrade for existing users I would have to say "Can we please have more advertising like this please ??"Although since it wasn't posted by someone at Hi-Fi it isn't !!G

Sorry but that GUI is ugly. Not that it matters that much, but to say they've improved that aspect is a bit silly.
