Hi there,
I have REX Essential Plus and was using this as my weather engine until yesterday when I decided to download Active Sky Next to try it out for 7 days as I'm thinking of purchasing. Have a question about the minimum and maximum cloud draw settings found in ASN and how I should set them since I'm using REX for textures now.
When I first set up my settings for REX I read the manual and on page 11 of the PDF I have it states this about the cloud draw setting within FSX: Cloud draw distance instructs FSX how far to draw
clouds. If the setting is set to full-right (110mi), the cirrus clouds will appear cut-off in the distance. Backing this off to 100mi will rectify this issue, still giving a great distance to view clouds.
In my FSX settings I have set Cloud Draw Distance to 100mi/ 160km.
Now when I come to my ASN settings, what do I use as the minimum and maximum cloud draw distance? Does changing these settings within ASN affect the FSX setting? I'm thinking of putting both minimum and maximum to 100 in ASN.
Another question about REX since I'm using ASN weather engine. I disabled the REX weather engine, does this mean the settings in REX for visibility, winds and clouds are also disabled and not active in my sim. I don't want it to be conflicting with ASN.
I want to use REX for textures and ASN for weather but am not entirely sure what changes to settings I need to make within REX so that REX is no longer being involved with the weather. But like I said, I've disabled the weather engine in REX so maybe I have done it correctly.
Thanks!
