Hello, Before all, I need to state that I am located in China and the connectivity here is subjected to the usage of VPN. I am using payware vpn (ExpressVPN and SmartDNS). But to connect on the VATSIM network, I need to use a Chinese vpn agreed for gamers QIYOU. If I try to connect with no VPN at all, the message (see screenshot) is shown and AS16 closes If I try to connect with QIYOU, the message (see screenshot) is shown and AS16 closes If I try to connect with VPN payware, the connection is done and AS16 works. So what I am doing is activating my payware VPN and launch AS16. Once the connection is done, I shutdown the VPN and activate the QIYOU vpn. But after some time, AS16 warns that there is no connection and need to try later... So is there a way to make AS16 work with no Internet connection? How can I resolve this situation? Thanks if you can help me... Regards Bruno

I have my Max vis set to max, and no matter where i go in the world, my sunsets don't look good with it. Sunrises look pretty much the same. Without AS16: https://gyazo.com/1b0f005b41238eb89c9c8b387a8b90ce With AS16: https://gyazo.com/9948da7efe575a6786ce2ca10fcf1230 none of the visibility options fix this issue. also i am unable to disable the default haze layer

Hi, before going further I'd like to say this is not a comparison of the graphic. Both enhance the texture enough for my taste. I'm using AS16 now and I'd like to ask how is it different when using AS16 + REX to when using AS16 + ASCA ? Are there any advantages when using ASCA with AS16 that REX doesn't support? And, AFAIK, ASCA is only the cloud texture while REX has cloud, sky, water...? Can all these 3 work together and does it affect the VAS a lot? (without HD textures if there are any). I'm using REX soft clouds now and I think I need something...better I guess. Thank you!

"Cannot control ambient weather parameters" error appears every time I connect p3d. I have done everything on this site : http://hifisupport.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/27/10/ambients-error-or-cannot-control-ambient-weather-parameters-error can any one suggest anything else? ​(And yes I have tried the un-install re-install... nothing is working) ​Many thanks James

Runing ASCA+AS16 on my comp and it looks like images inserted bellow when runing FSX:SE. System: GTX 1070, i7 6700k turbo 4.2GhZ, DDR4 32Gb RAM. Have no issues when running ASCA+AS16 on P3D. Any thoughts?
