Does Active Sky Include Textures?

Does anyone know if Active Sky includes sky/cloud textures?

 

Thanks

Active Sky 2012, which is what I still use, did include a nice set of textures, but I don't think any other version does.

This is odd why an older version would have something that a newer version would not have.  Maybe they stopped including it in AS when ASCA was released.  Did ASCA exist back in 2012?

 

Another question, does Active Sky have real time weather syncing (as in syncing every few seconds) instead of having abrupt weather syncing every few minutes (as SkyForce has the abrupt weather syncing)

I am asking because I am considering moving to Active Sky from REX SkyForce because I am not 100% satisfied with it.

 

Thanks

Active Sky 2012 has a slider that allows you to adjust the weather update intervals from 5 to 30 minutes.

Good to know...  Does anyone know how this works in ASP4 though?  Can it be 100% real time?

 

Thanks.

Hi Caleb,

Thank you for your interest in HiFI SImulations.  ASCA was still in development in early 2016 and was released that summer.  With the addition of AS2016 and now ASP4 for Prepar3D v4.x there are smooth weather transitions, what you refer to as weather synching.  HiFi Simulations has pioneered the development of dynamic weather using the weather engine (AS16 or ASP4) and ASCA which allows for installation of textures in real time without the need to quit the sim and install new textures or themes.  All a user has to do is simply install a base texture and then select one of the dynamic themes that will take over the display of weather systems.  It is important to load a flight plan in order to provide the most accurate weather depiction along the route.
