July 17, 20178 yr I am just trying to understand this. If I have REX textures for weather, in this case REX Texture Direct (REX4) and Soft Clouds installed...can I use the new Active Sky (ASP4) for the weather engine? Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3
July 17, 20178 yr REX haven't released their Prepar3D v4 update yet if that is your intended platform

I'll restore the textures once the new compatible version comes out. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3

July 18, 20178 yr Moderator What you will lose is the dynamic changing of cloud sets which you get using ASP4 with ASCA. Just to clarify that a bit - currently in any cloud program, REX, FEX, etc you select a cloud SET and it gets installed in your sim during flight depending on the weather engine different cloud groups from THAT SET get injected into the sim with dynamic clouds ASP4 determines, based on weather that a different SET would be better and changes it on the fly and then different groups from THAT set can be used. Essentially it gives you a much larger selection during the flight. Without that you can still get great clouds with the old method.

I have always used REX products, and I am satisfied with them. Still, it is good to learn what else is available. JohnMy first SIM was a Link Trainer.

July 18, 20178 yr I never went for this dynamic cloud update as it was an issue regarding VAS. As this is now eliminated (VAS problems), I could go for it. But as I already own REX4 TD and Soft Clouds, I guess I will also stick with it, otherwise it becomes completely obsolete...

August 21, 20178 yr What about ASP4+ASCA for wx, clouds, etc. And REX TD Enh to enhance all non-wx related textures? All in P3Dv4... Regards, Paul - near EHRD
August 21, 20178 yr Moderator That works too! There are really a lot of options in this arena to mix and match to get what you like best. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
November 9, 20178 yr Hello. I have REX 4 Soft Clouds Enhanced and bought yesterday Active Sky. How can i have the REX textures, instead the Active Sky textures?
November 9, 20178 yr The latest versions of ActiveSky do not include textures, it is solely a weather engine. \Robert Hamlich/
November 9, 20178 yr Really? I never seen that kind of textures....even the runway it´s not wet, when it´s rain, ....(sorry my english)
