Ok, at the risk of opening a can of worms here I have a couple questions.  I have been a long time flight sim user but have until now not been able to do much along the lines of addons due to poor PC.  I have solved that problem and am ready to take the plunge.  This is what I was planning... at least until a few days ago.  I  planned to purchase AS2012 so I could finally experience "real weather" for the first time, even though I have read the textures aren't the best.  Now I am seeing ASN coming out in the "near" future so now not so sure what to do.  I was willing to sacrifice graphics slightly for better weather with AS2012 but now with ASN I see no textures included.  Now I'm thinking of getting REX for textures (and get by with not so good weather generation) and wait for ASN for more accurate weather generation when it comes out.   What do you think.   

 

I'm also looking into getting GEX, UTX so any opinions along those lines would be great as well. 

 

Thank you all

AS2012 textures are great. Use AS for both now until ASN is released. Then the 12 textures can still be used with ASN.

Thank you. I've read so many reviews/opinions it all gets confusing. The biggest complaint I see about AS textures is on the ground like runways and tarmacs. Any input on this. I just don't want to make a purchase and then wish went another direction
