Good Morning From WIII,

I have read a lot about rex environment force and active sky along with active sky cloud art but I still don't understand the difference of them.

Can anyone help me to explain the differences of them?

I want to get a flying experience that has realistic weather such as weather changes, texture of rain water, wind texture, etc.

It might look like it's late to buy among the three, but I'm trying to improve my game and try a more real environment.

The most effective way I've found to eradicate confusion is to take it one step (add-on) at a time.

I highly recommend that you start with ASP4. Fully understand how this amazing weather generator transforms the weather in your sim.

Then, learn what REX SkyForce 3D will do to enhance the atmosphere. There are a few YT videos you can watch to get you started.

Finally, learn how changing shaders affects the way your sim looks. This is a critical component that should not be overlooked.

Best of luck.

Jose

AS is much more detailed and accurate with real weather representation, it is more mature and serious app with ton of options.

REX is on other end, and they said their weather app will not be improved.

I couldn’t disagree more if you’re talking v4.5. Environment Force and Sky Force together are absolutely stunning. And it is set it and forget it. Start them both before you start P3D and you get an absolutely gorgeous scenery, sky, lighting and water. This is completely REX, I have done nothing here but start those two programs:

If you are using both add-ons you only need to start REX EF.

The reason for all the confusion is because most want to express their opinion, even if they don't know what they are talking about.

REX SkyForce 3D and REX EF are IMO must have add-ons.

Thank you Jose for your suggested. I really needed suggested like what you say, hehe.

 

But, i'm still confuse. What exactly does active sky do on the sim? What exactly Rex EF do on the sim?

 

If I'm read on the other source. Active sky only change cloud texture, it means active sky not responsible for changes in the weather. While Rex EF, they're many responsible, like changes weather, changes atmosphere, changes terrain texture, changes airport texture, etc. And then envtex its just changes the texture of cloud. So, can you explain me about that?

 

I really needed suggest, what should i choose to get perfect combination? AS + Rex Sky cloud 3D + envtex? Or AS + asca + envtex? Or Rex EF + Rex Sky Cloud + Active sky? Or AS + Rex EF + Asca + envtex?

 

Thank you.

Best regards,

 

 

Corosife.

I do not know where u read that, but this is rubbish.

AS controls the WEATHER - period. It reads the current weather metars and injects that into the sim. ASCA and EF are essentially CLOUD and SKY textures (they do more) that are loaded into the sim according to the AS weather. Envtex is also a cloud texture(and more) program. SO, to get the best effect - 

 

Use AS for weather and then take your cholce - ASCA + Envtex or EF.

I prefer AS with ASCA and Envtex but others prefer EF.

No one can tell YOU what YOU will like better or what is more realistic to YOU. Since AS was designed to work with ASCA + ENVTEX you get the most versatility there.

Keep in mind that if you're using Prepar3d v5 with EA/True Sky enabled, then using sky/cloud textures will be void. Since EA uses it's own system to render the sky and clouds.

EA is amazing. But I would rather use asca. 
tried it and was not satisfied with envshade and without it.

ide would love to have tomatoshade with R&D preset for v5 .

oh well.

Ohh i see. If I combined AS + EF, is it compatible? I like to share my flight to youtube, so i need realistic graphic but it's all up to me.

It's for Prepar3D V4.5. I think its late, but you know, prepar3d v5 also expensive

What is function of envshade? Is it more realistic runway texture or something?

I had REX for years but after a crash they had with their server I couldn't reach their servers.  REX said it was my fault and gave up trying to help. Avoid this company.

Yes AS controls the weather, ASCA, EF and Enbtex all provide sky and cloud textures. you can mix and match to your liking.

Finally, i found this and time to make a decision, hehe.

I think i'll try to AS + ASCA + Envtex because maybe if I migration to V5 they also available. Hehe.

Thank you for your suggested.
