I would love to see a link where the developer says ASCA will change ENVTEX cloud textures dynamically as the last time I spoke with Maxime, HiFi (ASCA) only allows ENVTEX SKY textures to be changed dynamically. It has been my understanding that an ASCA user can inject ANY developer's clouds but MUST uncheck CIRRUS and CLOUD TEXTURES when running the GLOBAL AUTOMATIC or FULL DYNAMICS theme. If the user does NOT uncheck them, ASCA will automatically override with their own ASCA cloud textures Thanks for your assistance :) You may be right - let me dig around a bit and verify.

November 28, 20178 yr Guys, this may be a general question, perhaps directly off-topic. I'm running a 3440 by 1440 monitor, If I'm loading up 4k textures, whether in P3dv4 settings or ASCA 4k textures, will it make any visual difference? Regards, Shelman S.

November 28, 20178 yr Moderator Not that you'd notice, IMHO. On my 4K monitor I cannot realy tell difference between 1024, 2048 or 4096 other than a slight performance hit. It's possible that on some big simpit systems with multiple large screens, there would be a noticeable difference. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

But, you are correct, for now all others can not be changed dynamically. Vic Last time I checked only the sky textures can change dynamically, not the clouds. MSFS

Are you talking about resolution or texture size? 2 different things. With texture size you can't tell much of a diff unless you have addon scenery that uses 4096px if I recall correctly. Orbx is 1024px last I checked.

November 30, 20178 yr Author Thanks for the recommendations guys. Couldn't be happier with the results. A tad more blue than ideal but good enough for now and a no tweaking necessary tool.

November 30, 20178 yr Well done Sanan! I guess the blue comes from the autumn / winter atmosphere, and there should be less in summer. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR

A tad more blue than ideal but good enough for now and a no tweaking necessary tool. Very nice, to much blue for me. But that's where PTA comes in handy, you could just turn that blue down to your liking and keep everything else as it is. Its very easy. David Murden.

November 30, 20178 yr Author Using two shader tweaks on top of each other is a bit counterproductive IMO. You could use Reshade to tone down the blues a little after all.
