hi guys, hope y'all are enjoying your flights cuz i know i am. i was wondering if y'all can help me understand how i can make ASE ans REX 2.0 work together on FSX. i'm a little confuse on how to set-up the weather textures. but what i did, perhaps y'all can tell me what i can do better. under REX 2.0 in the theme creations, i've selected reality where it says select a theme to install. after choosing this theme, i saved it and installed it fsx next i start up ASE, insert my flightplan from FSX and then it asks if i want to install snapshot in which i click cancel cuz i don't know what to do in that. within ASE, i launch FSX, while sitting at the gate ASE is uploading and updating weather for the flight. question is, did i do everything right? am i missing something? is that basically what y'all do? basically what i want to do is the weather during enroute, lets say from SFO-ORD according to aviationweather.gov, if i'm going to run into clouds at FL350 between ONL/vor and IOW/vor, i should see that in FSX using ASE and REX to enhance the clouds textures, right? if y'all can provide me a step by step on how y'all do or if there's a video i can watch, that would be great cuz i feel like i'm having a huge brian fart over something that is probably easy to do. thanks for the helpbrgds

is the step i took to install the weather texture correct?

Hello Richard,Yes, that is one of 2 different ways you can use graphics add-on textures with ASE. You did the manual installation. The other option is to use Snapshots, where you install from your graphics add-on then take a "snapshot" of the graphics and assign wx-influenced categories (i.e. clear wx, stormy, etc.) With snapshots, you can say "OK" to that automatic texture install question and have ASE automatically pick and install the most appropriate one given the current wx conditions. When using this system, having several snapshots (at least 1 in each category) is ideal so that all wx conditions have a snapshot. This is covered in the manual under the "Graphics" screen. Hope that helps!
