How do you get all those Envtex textures. If I open ASCA then I only see about three Envex textures. As a result my ASCA keeps giving me messages saying that envtex # is not loading so the theme doesn't inject into the sim. I am just thinking of getting REX texture direct for the textures that Envtex has. Do you have any experiences with TD over Envtex?. For some reason I can't see your screenshot for the settings. Thank you

Does this program do the same thing as REX Texture Direct?

So basically REX TD does the same as envtex? (but better)?😉 And REX TD also does what ASCA does too?

Well darn, now this is giving me a headache. I was thinking about buying REX texture direct to replace envtex. I decided that (for now) REX is my go to texture and cloud program. So I don't think I will need ASCA and Envtex now. I already have REX skyforce and I am confused as to what REX texture direct gives me that REX skyforce does not. I am also planning on buying REX environment force and what I have seen that program looks like skyforce and texture direct. Wow, that's a lot of products. Can anybody give me a breakdown of what each of these REX's does?

Thank you, I will try it. Do I need to open sky force and AS every time I want to fly?

What's the best settings to have REX sky force for clouds, Active Sky for the weather, Envtex for sky colors. I am confused between ASCA and Envtex. because they seem to do the same thing. I would like to have the skies change where and when I am flying based on the weather conditions. Just trying to get a real as possible. Of course this will change when REX environment force comes out which should make all this easier 😉

I'm now thinking about uninstalling envtex because I already have ASCA, AS, and REX skyforce. I think I am overloaded!

So which is the best for sky textures, ASCA, REX or Envtex?. Also how do you achieve the most accurate skies that change by the minute. I would like to just let everything go automatic and be surprised whenever I start a flight. Oh yeah, there is also REX environment force that will be coming out to soon to confuse us all again 😉

I have the same problem at wsss with pbr textures. If I check them in the configuration tool then I have blank field with jetways and the jewel show up. If I uncheck the pbr textures then everything is fine but I don't get the pbr textures. I have only updated the client to get to P3D 4.4. so I am wondering if I need to update anything else and this could be the reason that some of us aren't seeing the terminals.

It's because skyforce has some different cloud formations that I have never seen before using Active Sky. I also would think that the weather engine would work better within the same program.

I have been using active sky for years and have no real complaints. I bought Rex Skyforce on sale because I read that the clouds look better. So I have been using Skyforce clouds with Active Sky weather and it seems fine. I decided just to try Skyforce weather and I got to see different clouds than I have seen with Active Sky but the transitions are terrible. Cloudy skies then boom clear skies when the weather loads. This looks horrible and takes away from the experience. Now I don't fly anything, I am strictly an ai spotter but I use Super Traffic Board to watch flights. So watching a long flight really looks bad when clouds are just popping up every 10 minutes or so. Have any of you experienced this and Is there anything to do to fix this. I thought by now that it would be better but it seems not unless I am missing something. Thank you.

So I have been looking for a good VABB scenery for P3D V4.4 and I have the version by Thai Creation version working somewhat. It is not completely working in P3D V4.4 because I have arriving planes landing in the ground but strangely enough the planes departing stay on level ground. There was a new freeware version that was released and I installed it to see what it looks like. It does work but of course it is not anywhere nearly as detailed as the Thai Creation version. So I am wondering which one to use, should I stay with a highly detailed version that doesn't work completely or should I use the fully functioning one but doesn't look as good. Of course if anyone could help me with my ground problem with the Thai Creation one, then the choice would be obvious. Thanks

Yes, please release it as is. I'm sure it is very acceptable. Artists never think that their creations are ready because there are perfectionists but I bet it looks wonderful. I would rather have something than nothing. The freeware version currently available is just not the same.

I can't say enough good things about this wonderful product. I have made lots of ai packages on my own and it's a lot of busy work. I am not experienced in doing that but I decided that I wanted total control over my AI so I uninstalled TG and UTL and downloaded the AIG one click installer. So now all that work is being done by someone else who knows what they are doing. I have slowly been moving my custom ai into AIG because I know they have done things correctly. It's so annoying when you create ai and have to make sure the model is correct, the version is correct, the textures are correct and so on. Yes, they don't have every airline done yet but they have a very impressive list so far and they update at least once a week. They are quick to respond to questions and always have a helpful answer. I have used every AI package out there but have to come to realize that for me the bgl flight plans are the way to go because I can also use it with super traffic board. Just think of it as the updated version of world of ai and we all know how important that tool was. They have future plans to add more tools and they stay current with airline fleets. If you love AI then this is probably the most important tool to have.

Is there any other scenery for KDTW out there?. I feel it may be a lot longer until the Sunskyjet version is out. It's such an important airport and I am surprised no one has made a version in years.

ok, thanks. I will look out for it.

Hi all, I know that there is a new scenery for KCVG being worked on but I wonder if there is anything out right now. I have P3D V4.3 and I just downloaded a whole bunch of cargo AI flight plans and most of them go through KCVG. I never realized that I didn't have any scenery for the airport yet. I have seen a few freeware sceneries that say FSX only and I have a rule that I only add something that says it works for P3D. I think even a correct AFCAD would tie me over but those are all for FSX too. Thank you

I have this but I only have black textures and I don't know what I am doing wrong because the directions are pretty easy it seems. I did also have the elevation problem but fixed it with the included file and of course running the FTX airport elevation tool.

So I have been going back and forth on whether to buy RJTT from Technobrain. It's very expensive and the quality doesn't look that enticing. The problem is that there are no other scenery for RJTT anywhere. I don't know if there is an older freeware version that works for P3D V4.3 but I haven't found one. There was also talk about another developer doing the airport so I don't want to buy it and then next week another version comes out. I was already burned on ZBAA but that one wasn't too bad. If anyone has the Technobrain RJTT are you regretting your purchase? is there something special that's included? Does it come with Tokyo city scenery too? Thanks

Yep, I knew there were others with this problem. It's not a deal breaker for me but it's just annoying. I will try the manual way to see if it's better. I don't mind disabling once I find an airport but I just want to do it once. When you disable it do you mean you change it to .OFF? or do you just remove it? Thanks

Is there a special way to disabling certain airports. I have used the tool to do it but when I run a new scan it erases all those changes.

Specifically FTX vector and the airport elevations. I am getting so tired of this tool messing up my addon sceneries. It seems no matter what add on airport I choose to fly into the elevations are off and buildings are floating or runways are sunken. I'm pretty sure most of you can relate. Really takes the realism out of a long flight when you land in the ground. Another problem is that if you go into the AEC panel and deactivate an airport the next time you run a complete new scan all the changes that you made are erased. I don't why this program is so unfriendly to the sim. I thought this was going to be fixed and should have been fixed by now. I would appreciate if someone can tell me if there is a better way. I have gone back and forth on uninstalling it or keeping it and I decided to keep it because everything else works but this airport elevation tool is taking the fun out of everything. Sorry about the rant, believe me I had to hold back. Thanks

I have been reading your posts everywhere and I hope you get the answers to your problem. I have had this problem for years and I use super traffic board which shows this problem in detail. I have just lived with it and pretend that arrivals are delayed for whatever reason I come up with. The one thing I can maybe offer is that when an arrival is on the screen it doesn't mean that a plane is leaving at that moment it means that it will go out that day. When there is a plane listed as arriving it does mean a actual plane can be viewed. Another observation if you are using super traffic board is do an airport compile and make runways every now and then. I don't know why but it seems to work out better after I do that.

Nope, not for me and also if I fly over there, it's just a blank space and all the ai is circling around it because there is no place to land. Oh well I guess I won't be flying there but it's very strange and now pretty annoying. Thanks anyway

I really can't figure this out but it does not exist in my P3D V4. it's not in the drop down list and when I put in the code there is nothing there. It's so strange. Is there a way to check for missing airports?
