Active Sky 2012 + REX Set Up?

Featured Replies

How would I set up Active Sky to be the weather engine and REX to ONLY do the textures. Also is there a weather influenced function in REX? Thanks!

Do You mean with AS2012+REXE?

Can't answer about weather influenced - perhaps someone who used REX can - but I doubt it.

 

As far as the rest - you have several options

 

1) Load REX - select your theme - install theme - close REX - load AS2012 - it will handle it from there.

 

2) if you want to use weather influenced, it's a bit more tricky

 

Load REX - select theme - install theme - close REX - load AS2012 - go into graphics tab and select save snapshot - give snapshot a name - say SUNNY.

 

Repeat for different themes, stormy, cloudy, rainy, etc - saving each snapshot in AS until you have a good selection.

 

Now when you load AS2012 you get the weather and then have it select the appropriate theme from your saved REX themes.

 

One other selection you might consider - give AS textures a try by allowing AS to compile a set of snapshots automatically and use them for a while. You can always delete them and use a REX theme.

 

Have fun!

So you cant have a weather influenced theme in REX?

 

Also how do I know what textures FSX are using? AS or REX?

Yes you can. Use the option to load textures along with a weather theme

Due to the way FSX works, all new textures overwrite the previous ones. So the textures installed the latest will be used
