Capnsully Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Wow, Active sky now has an excellent P3D feature - when you first load it up each time, it asks which app you want to inject the weather in, FSX or P3D! Classy. So despite my recent love for Opus, I'm experimenting with AS2012 now, as it feels damn good wind-wise and the ability to hand select your weather is excellent, superior to Opus. So here I used the local weather, but removed the rain (if only in RL!), Added a cloud layer at 6k and a couple of nice low ones at 200 and 800ft. Perfect stuff. Only the first shot is post-processed with some blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capnsully Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yes I'd used it in FSX but hadn't updated to SP2 Beta 4 until now. I do love Opus, but its inability to quickly tailor the weather as I've described is a pain, so I'm sticking to AS for awhile since it works so nice in P3D. I love the stormy look, but hate the rain. Get enough of that in Melboune eh? Not right now though, a dry spell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capnsully Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 No it doesn't conflict with REX, I've used both intermittently. It installs the textures over the Rex or default textures. Not on my pc now so don't know the file size. You can install it in any drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
