Are you positive about this Eric? As I understood it, REX puts a task in task manager. By default, any tasks in TM that have been missed will run first.  I do not have my system running 24/7 and I get auto changes with no issue.

But it’s not running in the task manager when I turn on my computer? I do have the automated settings correctly selected in the Rex UI . Odd…

It does not put a "task" in the Task Manager. It puts a "task" in the Task Scheduler. Click Start, type "task scheduler" and hit enter. Should open up the Task Scheduler. In there you should find the REX scheduled task.

Since the REX scheduled task is run once per day, on start up or at the specified time, by the time you have logged in and opened Task Manager, the REX scheduled task has probably already finished and exited.

Turns out I was partially correct. I poked around and found that the box for "run task as soon as possible after a schedule start is missed" was not checked so it never was ran. Don't know if that is a user setting or a setting that Rex should have coded into the program. @MikeT707

Hi there, just read this entire thread and decided to purchase Accuseason tonight after seeing the great support here from REX.  I too have been wondering about the automated installs.  Like others my pc is not on all day so when is best to schedule a task?  What if I miss that slot if the pc is still off?  What if I set a time and MSFS is currently running?  Instructions appear to state REX should not be run when the sim is running, will this cause a problem or will installed trees etc apply the next time the sim is restarted?  I checked out the "task scheduler" and like yourself see the "run task as soon as possible after a schedule start is missed" cannot be edited so that it resumes as soon as the pc boots up if later than the chosen time.  I am a bit confused at how it operates.

I schedule mine for 11pm which is bedtime…that way when it comes on I let it do its thing before going to bed.  

I have mine scheduled for 12:00PM every day. I am not always on line at that time, it does not run. No worries. I just click on the desktop icon for "REX Accuseason" and  manually update my season files (same diff.), done.

Guys there‘s no need to make too much out of it. You don‘t need to run AccuSeason update every day.
It changes on a weekly base, so once a week is enough, and even if you forget that, chances are you probably wonÄt
notice the difference between the tree colors of the 3rd week of March and the 4th week of March.

It would be nice if the Rex updater could shut down itself once it has finished updating. I have set the scheduled task to kill the process after 5 minutes but it is not an elegant solution.

I think it's a brilliant piece of marketing as well: this way you think Accuseason basically improves your sim EVERY DAY😉

 

I found out that bijanstudio-misc-four-season-pack-v7-5-0 has issues,  It will remove the tarmac and runway markings

I’ve had Bijan’s trees for quite a while now , but haven’t used it since I got AccuSeason. The other day I thought I’d give it another go, but got discouraged from the installation process. Got it through SimMarket and there’s a bunch of files to download, but no installer. Guess there must be a pdf somewhere that explains things?

There should be a readme.txt or install.txt with those files.

Installing Bijan's trees is quite easy. It's just drag and drop into your community folder according to which season you want.

Owning both, for me Bijan's trees still have the upper hand compared to AccuSeason.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try.

Here I have a folder outside MSFS with all Bijangs folders and files in it. The appropriate folders I enable using Addons Linker.

Very easy to do.
