Lol if only one thing did it all...

 

I've got PTA and AS so adding ASCA for clouds then using Rex (which I have) for sky textures wouldn't be too bad.

ASCA is continually evolving according to user request so you might find some great sky textures there also. Mix and match to your heart's content until you get what you like.

@jenxy - LOL. No one ever said this was an inexpensive hobby!!!

I am also doing the ASP4/ASCA/Envtex (sky textures) & PTA.  Best looking sim I have seen to date!

Agreed, yet another one for the ASP4/ASCA/Envtex (sky textures) and PTA. A most amazingly beautiful combo. I'm also using the PTAabsolute preset supplied by the Envtex dudes and it creates a really nice realistic overall tone in all conditions. Very cool... very recommended...

Sure dude, i understand... but the sky textures influence so much.. so.. if you don't wanna drop the cash for Envtex at the moment, try some of the sky textures here...  http://1coder.ru/SKY/downloads.html   This dude makes amazing sky textures and kindly offers them up free to the community and they are truly some of the best. Try some out and see how much better they are compared to ASCA's sky textures. You'll want to turn of ASCA's sky texture injection if using these.

Thanks, was already considering, and wow, those screenshots are better than reality.

Haha, yes, well... i think you understand where we all are with regards to Rex Sky Force... i must admit i'm quite amazed that you've played this one so close to your chest that many have simply lost interest and invested into other software solutions for weather.

Even a few screenshots here and there over the last few months would have done wonders for your company, but you've been so silent that we're wondering if it even still exists, despite the odd post by yourselves saying that it does!

Tempting us in the run up would have been much more effective methinks, rather than staying tight lipped...

Absolutely agree.  It's not even rocket science....such a simple and obvious thing yet, despite several prods to that effect, Rex *still* remain silent.  Beggars belief.
