Hi all-

 

Just wondering what your favorite textures are for use with Active Sky.

 

I know a lot of people love the REX clouds; over the years I've seen plenty of clouds mentioned in the Library, but have never tried any. (Even the default FSX clouds look pretty good now, I assume that's because of the more complex presentation.)

 

Also, maybe more of a question for the scenery forum, but is there a guide to making them?

 

thanks,

Andrew

My personal favourite textures come from REX,whith the exception of the sky textures.

For those, I use a reworked FSX set originally done by Pablo Diaz:

Thanks for the link.

 

Question: one of the things that looked good about REX was the sky/cloud colors- I'm not sure how this is actually handled, but I assume it's not by a lighting model like X-Plane uses now.

 

Any thoughts?

 

thanks,

Andrew

get AS2012 - the textures are exceptional!

Agreed. I still think REX does better water textures, but AS2012 has really come a long way.

Thanks guys.

 

Question # 567: I see lots of "colorful" sky environments - pinks, oranges, etc.

 

How are these selected/assigned? Is there a way to tell the program to load the most appropriate color graphics based on the atmospheric conditions?

 

I could swear I saw that somewhere but am not at home right now so can't check it out.

 

thanks,

Andrew

Man i can never decide on this

 

I have both AS2012 and REX E and love both of them..

 

I wish both teams would get back together and intergrate both progs :yahoo: , i'd be an even happier chappy!
