AS with ASCA and volumetric clouds gives me exactly what I want. Do these comments apply to both v4.5 and v5.1 or only the latter?

Though performance was better slightly with asca I think Sky Force cloud structures could be used by ASCA in any case. I'm sure I set my P3D4 installation to work that way. Check the options in both. Once set up you don't need Sky Force running, so you have the best of both worlds. I've not done that for my current P3D5 installation yet but probably will.

May 26, 20215 yr @Pete Dowson Well i actually don't run sky force anymore in V5 and noticed my clouds definitely changed. I'm not sure what functionality I may be missing by not opening the program every time I run P3D? Do you? I don't use it as an engine. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

I think you choose the theme and tell it to install it, and in your P3D sessions ASCA picks those textures up in place of its own. It's ASCA that then changes the clouds instead of REX. If that isn't so I've been operating under a delusion! 😉 Pete Win10: 22H2 19045.2728 CPU: 9900KS at 5.5GHz Memory: 32Gb at 3800 MHz.
