Ok that's clear :) I don't understand this highlighted: What is the purpose of disabling ENVTEX textures for e.g. airport, grass or water? Does SkyForce also have these?

I will for sure use Active Sky for the weather engine. I'm wondering, which option will give me best looking clouds - I mean as real as possible.

Pilots, there are following options explained: 1. REX Sky Force 3D only2. REX Sky Force 3D and Active Sky3. REX Sky Force 3D and Active Sky plus ASCA for dynamic skies4. REX Sky Force 3D and Active Sky plus ASCA for dynamic skies with ENVTEX sky textures Based on your experience which is the best choose and why? I have all these apps and I'm a little bit confused what to do.

How to turn on mouse ministick on X56? I configured this in the way showed below but still cursor doesn't move. Any ideas?

Does anyone know?

Is there any way to preview liveries in *.ptp files? Maybe there's some editor, which I can use to open PTP file and see how it looks before install?

Yes it was confirmed to me by one of BVAI developers.

I see that it's not recognizing Lufthansa livery for B777-200. I have some aircrafts with DLHxxx callsigns in Air Traffic and it shows as all white. Other fleets looks to be ok e.g. BAW, Enter, Easy, KLM, SAS, United, Delta, Alaska... It also doesn't recognize AAxx... Is the reason that for instance Lufthansa doesn't have B777-200 in their fleet in real?

Regarding exporting of presets. I know that I can upload every preset separately to the community to archive it, but is there a possibility to export whole list (all presets for a single aircraft) of presets for e.g. PMDG 737 to one separate file?

Ok - small update. I did what you recommended and for some areas it worked well. But recently when I was flying around Zurich I've noticed these weird textures again. Look at this screenshot: There are some areas - especially on the left, which are not dark. They're - let say - highlighted. I've noticed that this is related with Orbx Open LC Europe because after turning it off in the scenery library it looks as shown below: So on the second screenshot it looks better - however it's still one highlighted area in front of the aircraft (a little bit to the left). I have the latest version of openLC Europe. All ORBX libraries are up to date. The ordering of my sceneries is according to these rules: http://c-aviation.net/fsx-scenery-library-order-orbx-global/ What's wrong with this?

This was a very good idea. It looks good now. Thank you!

I've noticed that my textures don't look good. Look at the screenshot. There are black areas, which are changing it's state cyclically during the flight. Look at these black squares - it looks horrible :( In that view I have almost 60 FPS. What is causing this? Is this related with shaders or scenery? I have ASP4+ASCA, ENVTEX & ENVSHADE and some scenery addons.

Ok that was easy indeed ;) Thank you very much. I was looking inside ASCA settings not ASP4. Thanks!

Pilots, how to disable these ASCA green pop-ups in P3D. It shows cyclically that ASCA is loading/updating etc.

Pilots, The were a lot of discussions about poor VATSIM audio quality in the past. Anyway I've found an info on the VATSIM website from the last year , which states as follows: New Voice Codec Voice quality on VATSIM has long been the subject of much discussion on our network, with the compatibility of older pilot clients being a barrier to upgrading to a new voice codec which would improve voice quality for our pilots and controllers. At Connexion 2017, Kieran Hardern, who sits on the VATSIM Board of Governors, made an announcement that VATSIM has a team actively working on the implementation of a new voice codec. A number of tests of specific codecs have already been completed and VATSIM is committed to make this happen. As with any voluntary project, we won't be putting an estimated time of release out on this but hope this announcement is of interest to our members who have been eagerly waiting for this upgrade. Source: https://www.vatsim.net/news/new-voice-codec-voice-unicom It was almost year ago. Are there any leaks about the release date of this new codec?

So is this something different than Navigraph AIRAC data?

It seems that my B739 has up to date frequencies, however the airport itself has the old one. That was my first thought

During my last flight to Riga airport (EVRA - Latvia, Eastern Europe) I was going to land on runway 36. I was on my B739 with latest AIRAC 1802. Per FMC info the ILS frequency for this runway is 108.10 so I put this into my NAV panel. However after reaching the runway path - localizer hasn't been identified - so obviously I couldn't turn on either VOR LOC or APP. I started to seek where is the problem. The ILS chart available on Latvia VACC (http://www.lv-vacc.org) on this link: https://ais.lgs.lv/eAIPfiles/2018_001_01-FEB-2018/data/2018-02-01-AIRAC/graphics/eAIP/4509363_EV_ADC_2_EVRA_24_11_3_EN.pdf showed me that the frequency is 108.10 - so the conclusion was that I put the correct one in my NAV panel. Moreover this chart seems to be up to date since it has a note "FEBRUARY 2018". However then I found this site: http://apxp.info/airports/view/EVRA where the ILS frequency for this runway is stated as 110.30 - not 108.10 ! After selecting 110.30 in the NAV panel system identified localizer correctly and finally I was able to land with ILS. Can someone explain to me where is the problem?

I don't exactly how but it seems that I fixed this issue - I reinstalled the client, restored all shaders and tried PTA again - and it seems to work correctly now. Wasn't sure what caused that. It happened after I bought and installed ASCA and then applied PTA preset again - just to be sure. Before that everything was ok.

Ok so my story is similar. Initially my clouds behavior was as depicted above - they changed their size cyclically every about 1 second - bigger > smaller > bigger > smaller etc... as if they were breathing :) I reapplied preset few times without changing anything and - I don't know why - it helped. However now I have another problem. This weird cyclic behavior was transferred from clouds to my ground textures - now cyclically they change totally to black for an approx 1 second. It - let say - blinks in the following cycle: normal > black > normal > black > normal > black How to fix this?

Ok now it's more clear. But I understand that when I will set ENVTEX "ASCA Integration" option to "ENVTEX textures only" it will make no difference what I will set in ASCA - since it will be not used. Is that right?

I have few questions. I have ASP4, ASCA, ENVTEX and PTA. 1. I understand that when I want to use real weather from ASP4 the only themes, which I can use are "Full Dynamics" and "Global Automatic". Is that right? 2. Should I have both ASP4 and ASCA run in the background during my flight? 3. I've noticed that most of the ENVTEX users have unchecked the "Sky Colors" option in the "Enabled Content" options in ASCA. What is the purpose of that?

Ahh sorry - you're right. I have only ENVTEX. This is in the ENVTEX settings window - so this is the reason of my mistake. What about PTA errors?

I have a problem with applying PTAbsolute preset with PTA. I have an errors shown on the screenshot : Currently I have ASP4, ASCA and ENVTEX installed. Other presets, which I have work correctly. Another thing is that I have disabled an options for PTA in my ENVTEX: I can't switch this to "On" Any ideas?

I can't tell how fast your autogen loads - however regarding screenshots itself - it looks very good in my opinion.
