envtex + asca + rex soft clouds

[franjoflyer]

Kind of a confusing question, so I hope I can ask this properly.

 

I would prefer to use Rex soft clouds in p3d v4. I'll be installing envtex shortly and have a few questions. I know envtex works with ASCA, but one question I have is does envtex use ASCA for sky colors? Does it add a lot more variety over just using Envtex sky colors?

I know in ASCA I would select the full dynamics option. Then under ASCA settings I would just like to have 'sky textures' checked. I would uncheck 'cloud textures', 'cirrus' and 'cloud structures'. I would assume with this it would still use Rex soft clouds but use ASCA for help with sky colors.

In envtex I would have the setting under the 'ASCA integration' to use 'envtex textures only' and not select 'ASCA and ENVTEX textures'

This leads me to my other question, with having this option to envtex textures only, will it only use envtex textures for sky? I'm assuming Envtex textures won't be used with Rex soft clouds and my clouds would just be handled by Rex?

Correct!

Hi, 

Just had a question regarding this subject. I also use REX4 & Soft Clouds, ENVTEX and ASCA. Like the OP, I would like my skies to be dynamically handled by ASCA using ENVTEX textures. However, I want to keep REX Soft Clouds Textures. How do I need to proceed?

Do I need to disable Cumulus and Cirrus in ENVDIR to be sure that ENVTEX does not generate clouds?
