Anyone tried ENVTEX?

[Greggy_D 936]

I'll have to take a deeper look into this product over Xmas break.  It sure is getting confusing with all of the texture packs out there (this, REX TD, REX Worldwide, Zinertek, etc).

Hi Maxime - I am having some issues with my sun disappearing and the sky textures not working correctly with ASCA after the latest P3D update.  Tried to report  on your forums as I am registered but it says I do not have permissions.  Reports of others having a similar issue as well.  It appears when ASCA installs textures, something strange is happening with the sun and my sky textures also disappear.  Thanks for any help!

 

Having problems getting on to the forums. A message says I don't have permissions.

Don't understand as I am registered and was able to access it when I first signed up. I even downloaded a hotfix from there.

I have the same problem with the forums, so annoying. I am also waiting for the update from simmarket because I can't get into the those forums.

Did you place verificaiton request in General Discussion thread? Your account needs to be "cleared for use". 

[jimcarrel 688]

There is a box in your profile setup where you put in your order # ( or product ID) once you do that you post in the verification thread. Mods will then give you permission. It may be a slight pita, but I understand their caution.

Just bought it.

First try is really nice!

 

This is with AS16, ASCA.

I have been using ENVTEX for a little bit, and I definitely like their sky colors. They are beautiful, yet very natural. From the competitors, I have seen a lot of fantasy colors that may impress an art designer, but have not much to do with reality.

 

As far as cloud textures, the level is not as high yet. To me, they look kind of "blobby" even at the highest resolution, while the competition (REX and HiFi) provides more fine details and contour. However, I think that if you use ASCA, you have a dream team: ASCA has great cloud textures, while ENVTEX' sky colors are nearly unbeatable. And both change dynamically depending on weather and geographical location!

Exactly what I am doing at the moment with great results.  I use the ENVTEX sky textures and ASCA clouds.  This along with PTA has really brought an amazing visual experience to P3D...

I am on the fence.   I got down the list of features and I am like;  Already got it through FSFX Packages, Already got it through World Wide Airports HD, Already Got it through REX Direct, Already got it through AS2016+ASCA....     I have pretty much every add-on out there that manipulates everything that ENVTEX touches.   The only feature that catches my eye is the new sky colors.      Honest opinion, is it worth $21 bucks if you already have everything and you pretty much like all of it?   Are those extra sky texture sets worth the $21 because that's all I'd be getting out of this add-on.

[Mephic 129]

IMHO those sky colours are worth every cent. Water textures amaze me too. Even comparing to REX4!

[Kuragiman 227]

Pulled the trigger.   3 minute test flight around Phoenix.  WOW.   This looks great with ASCA.

Here is another one on the fence with this one. Got AS16, navid´s sky texture and Rex soft clouds and quite pleased with it so far. But as I have followed this thread I have been started to think... 21 Euros is not that much though... I have one dumb question remaining: does envtex have to be running on the background while I´m flying? Or is it just textures installation once?

 

Happy holidays everybody!

[Mephic 129]

It's one time texture installation - like REX.

[Virtpilot 151]

Excellent, thank you  :smile: .

I am impressed with the sky colour 

AS16 + ASCA (engine) + REX (Soft cloud) + ENVTEX (sky)
