Any ideas why my 737 PFD doesn't show the weather radar?
I turned on WXR button on EFIS panel WX+T on the radio panel. 

My PFD shows WX+T -2A but no weather radar :(

The weather is updated and XGauge works correctly when I press Shift+5

Maybe I don't understand what this radar is going to show. Does it show only rain clouds or something more? Currently the sky is very cloudy without rain.

The weather radar is on your ND (Navigation Display) next to the PFD. The radar on WX+T mode depicts precipitation, turbulence (and icing?). When you're not seeing anything even though the radar is turned on it means there is nothing to display. It won't show normal clouds.

Understood. I've set the custom weather just to check that and it works correctly. Thanks!

I have one more question - what is the purpose of using ASCA? Is this something about cloud textures?

Summarizing currently I have ASP4, PTA and ENVTEX. 

Is it worth to buy ASCA too?

IMO, yes definitely. You get superb skies and clouds that are enhanced by PTA. Using ASCA with Envtex is a great combination. The ability to dynamically change the environment on the fly when in the sim is ASCA's main strength.

Ok I've just bought it :)

I have two files to download:
1. Active Sky Cloud Art Main Program 2
2. Active Sky Cloud Art Optional HD Content

Do you know what is this "Optional HD Content"?

/edit

OMG I bought it on www.fspilotshop.com - an average download speed is ~40 kB/s... what a shame... It will take forever to download this :(
