Anyone tried ENVTEX?

[KenVerburg 23]

Are all the features optional, so you can choose what to install and what to leave out (as it doubles with some add-ons as well)?

[rdtv91 73]

Yeah, it's all tick boxes - think the way REX does with textures, you can select what you want and don't want to be inserted into P3D...

Thanks

Hi Guys;

 

Sky textures - you can select ASCA mode within ENVTEX and it'll install sky textures into ASCA's folder and so if you have ASCA on global dynamic then it'll automatically use ENVTEX textures for so much variety - works brilliantly behind the scenes.

 

The plan for the future is to do the same with clouds! Watch this space

 

In addition theres an array of textures including water, wave animation, sun, moon and clouds incase you don't want to use ASCA cloud textures just now... The sun also comes with a glare effect which adds a natural glow when flying towards the sun...

 

Overall a good addon, it's subtle but adds overall to the immersion.

You're the developer?

One more question: Is it compatible with the PTA (Prepar3d Tweak Assistant)?

 

Thanks and kind regards, Michael

Thanks for the quick answer. Might give it a try then.

Here is a link to the manual:

On page 22 it talks about use with PTA.

I was curious since you talk about the prodcut, especially in the first few posts like your either the developer or somehow involved with the software. Especially when you say "Watch this space."

I currently use REX WAHD runway textures, REX 4 grass, sun and lightnings, ASCA and AS16, PrecipitFX and FSFX immersion for NGX.

 

How can I benefit from ENVTEX? Is it more realistic in any of the areas which above software covers? I see that it affects most of those things but not sure if it's better in any department.

I use all the combination you do... I feel the sky textures that work with ASCA are far more realistic than ASCA's default offering, in addition the sun & water is much better too and ofcourse we then have northern lights and effects like that - I still also use FSFX packages ranges for my precipit etc. REX4 is now officially on the shelf for me.

 

My combination now really is:

 

ASCA - Clouds

ENVTEX - Sky (Integrates with ASCA), effects such as northern lights, water, waves, sun, moon & some shader changes which make the cloud colour more realistic within ASCA...

FSFX - PrecipitFX for rain & Snow effects and everything it offers and then immersion packages for each plane

REX Airports HD for all default airport scenery

then payware airports.

 

It's a lot of addons, but I feel each adds a layer of immersion.

[Mephic 129]

It seems you are using similar "layers" as I do. :-) I also use PTA 2.0. 

 

Did you try ASCA SP1 Beta? They improved a lot in sky colours department. If ENVTEX is still better, I think I'm sold. :-) 

[GSalden 4,656]

Just looked at the demo screenshots and imho it does not give me an extra realistic feeling compared to ASCA.

 

Skies that are more blue may look nicer but I am not interested in a polaroid look ..

 

Everyone that likes it : I am happy for you

Can those who have bought this please post some images.

 

Thank you.
