December 9, 20214 yr Well, I do use ASCA with EA on and volumetric clouds full left, Full Dynamic theme on ASCA, and I do get ASCA's textures.

December 9, 20214 yr Just checked on Hifi SIM site, which is what I should have done before this, and it appears that with EA on and Vol clouds off only the cloud textures will be in integrated/used and NOT the sky textures, which is what I suspected. So I guess that answers that! Edited December 9, 20214 yr by Sparkrite

You still get the EA sky effects and that looks a lot better than without it. In 5.2 it made for instance also the difference in displaying the stars, but 5.3 appears to have broken that 😕 I'll buy it tomorrow...appreciate the tip!

December 11, 20214 yr i've tried EA on, Volumetric all the way to the left. For whatever reason, with EA on, the sky and surrounding color is almost washed out - dull grey even with weather set to clear. I turn EA off and I get a nice blue sky. I'd like to use EA but something's not right in my set up. If needed I can provide a screen shot. Thoughts?

You have to go to your prepar3d.cfg file and change HDR=1 to HDR=0 then save it.

December 12, 20214 yr I am currently flying with EA on as its a radical improvement from 5.2 (where I kept it on). I'm flying with default clouds, using active sky weather engine. Do not own yet envtex, ASCA or Skyforce. Which one would you recommend for the new P3D version? I am thinking to get envshade as well, but unaware how much of a benefit it gives as EA looks good now. So any insight would be helpful.
December 12, 20214 yr Sky force makes the best clouds but asca has better performance. In my opinion. 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

Do you possibly have any screenshots, or a link to a resource, where it can be seen how it looks like with EA on? I read on the product page that ASCA is only partially compatible with 5.3 with EA.
December 12, 20214 yr I don’t. With ea on and volumetric clouds off. Asca will generate clouds. However asca will not change sky color with ea on. 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
