June 13, 20169 yr Quick question, will one be able to inject other cloud textures dynamically into the sim using your wx engine? Or will that require use of both AS textures and the wx engine in conjunction? Let me guess.... you want 64bit. Josh Daniels-Johannson
June 13, 20169 yr Commercial Member At the moment, dynamic graphics variation and reloading is supported only with AS16+ASCA, but we are working on an interface/API to allow other graphics products to use this technology in the future. Just as a reminder, any/all graphics are supported with AS16 and even in conjunction with ASCA using category enable/disable to avoid conflict, it's just the realtime dynamics that are specific to AS16+ASCA at this time due to the complex nature of this capability.

June 13, 20169 yr Commercial Member Damian, could you tell if it supports the weather radar in Prosim as ASN does ? Yes, works the same way using FSUIPC which in turn uses Active Sky Radar API (which is universal between ASN and AS16). Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation Technologies
June 13, 20169 yr I have always loved ASN and this company and this will be an immediate purchase for me… Can't wait!
June 13, 20169 yr Commercial Member Does anyone know if it's only the cloud textures that will change dynamically during the flight, or sky textures as well? It would be cool to have the sky color slightly changing on a flight from, let's say, Scandinavia to the Caribbean islands. Another great idea would be to change the runway textures "en route" when flying from airport A to airport B. All of the current texture programs do have some nice runway textures, but they are static, which means that the installed texture is identical on all default airports worldwide. With the option to change runway textures dynamically, it would be possible to take off at an airport that has some worn and dirty runway textures, but seeing fresh and new textures at the destination airport. Yep sky textures do change the way you describe. But ASCA does not include runway textures Waiting for the release then ... Damian, will ASCA work with Prosim like ASN does ? Yes of course. Will this affect, or i suppose; will we lose compatibility with the PMDG weather radar? As Damian already responded backward compatibility is kept and is first priority to us. The weather radar works the same (and even better) way it's been working since we introduced it first about 2.5 years ago. Remember when we initially announced it everyone was skeptical. But it took only a couple of months and it became reality. When we announce a feature or new functionality it usually means it's already being tested for a significant amount of time and it's almost ready to release. This is something that the fellows who were lucky to attend fscon can verify as we had a demo of a system up and running. All these years we rely on a relationship with the community that is primarily basebased on confidence. We always try to be sincere and avoid misleading with promises we either can't keep or fulfill only after several years later. So everything we present here is actually working and is the result of hard work we've done during these last 3 years. Please have an option for 256 Textures, as with Overcast and 4xSGSAA even 980Ti could not help. It's there too Kostas Terzides
June 13, 20169 yr Eric REX has already stated that this new product is NOT a weather engine. Vic Wow, I guess I misread that. To be honest, I now have no idea what really that REX software is supposed to do? Inject textures only? The AS16 for P3D is sounding better and better the more I read from the dev's. I am curious if they are able to reproduce misting effects in P3D.... Eric
June 13, 20169 yr I have tried ASN but did not fancy it's performance it lagged my simulator, but I did fancy it's weather generator it gave nice detailing of the weather on it's radar. I decided to switch to use REX Textures which made a difference in performance and quality. I got a question when using REX for amazing Textures and ASN to generate the weather together would ASN cloud Textures appear along side REX or is it REX on it's own?
June 13, 20169 yr Moderator I have tried ASN but did not fancy it's performance it lagged my simulator, but I did fancy it's weather generator it gave nice detailing of the weather on it's radar. I decided to switch to use REX Textures which made a difference in performance and quality. I got a question when using REX for amazing Textures and ASN to generate the weather together would ASN cloud Textures appear along side REX or is it REX on it's own? These are NEW textures from ASCA so there is no comparison with "old" as2012 textures.

Wow, I guess I misread that. To be honest, I now have no idea what really that REX software is supposed to do? Inject textures only? I have no idea. I watched the same video and see a lot of different cloud textures that can be used with any weather engine. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
June 13, 20169 yr I've had a few instances (especially with HiFi products) when conditions are right with turbulence and the scenery, things were so believable...and then I see some weird-looking cloud, it reminds me I'm on the computer, and totally ruins the moment. To be able to fly in skies that look like what has been posted, would be very pleasing! to say the least.

June 14, 20169 yr Question Will using 4xsgss with this have any performance issues fps drop in heavy dense clouds etc? If not Well... that's gold!!! Cheers Mike
June 14, 20169 yr Hi Damian Thanks, and if so then this looks very promising, and hard to resist Some videos showing the higher cloud structures would be great .... Kind regards Ray
