Hey thanks for the heads up. I've been dodging this addon for a long time, but just went and purchased... dang it's a whopping big download:jump:
 
The 30k/bps is WAY too slow, I just tried it quicly and I am averaging 1.6m/bps. You are in Finland so that might have to do with it. My suggestion would be to stop the download, delete all files, clear your cache/temp files and try it again, the CDN will 99% sure redirect you to 'another server'
 
OK. I have 10Mbit connection, but it's connected on shared 100Mbit line. Maybe someone is hogging my bandwidth. It is now a tad faster though, I'll wait and see what happens.:wavey:
 
Okies mate, let me know how you go ok? From memory if you go back into your FSS account there is also seperate links for all the seperate parts of the actual file :
 
I take it with this FSS2Go, it will automatically download version 2 now? I had version 1 and wouldn't want to download the exact same thing again!

Edit: Wait, disregard that. I see the update!
 
Well that was a nice surprise! The first email I saw this morning was the REX 2.0 announcement. In the time it took me to tweet about it, the download had completed. I'm very curious about this new weather engine.:medals::medals:
 
There's a little strangeness with the config options screen and some unhandy flashing of the monitor while the textures update, but other than that it seems to be working okay.
 
Hmm, might have to pick this up now that I have a new rig and can fly in real weather! :ernae:
 
what exactly is new in version 2.0 .

i was only using the old version for the textures and asx for the weather engine
 
well I just downloaded it from the email link I got at the bottom of the page they sent me and it downloaded and installed properly - no problems.

they have redressed the GUI and it is better than before - it looks like they have made some improvements in the cloud and water textures to reduce the FPS impact slightly - thats always good.

The lighting seems to have been sharpened too - so that I can now distinctly discern multiple runway lights at a distance where before they would blend and look as one....at least it seems to me that this is changed.

I see a new selection in 'themes' for 'sounds and audio' coming soonish?

I have only just tonight installed this update so I guess I'll need some more time with it to see what else they have changed - but so far so good - it didn't break anything that I can see.

Thanks REX dudes:guinness:
 
I'm really impressed about the quality of the REX textures. I especially like some of the dusk and dawn sky variants, that seem to make air around you "glow". And there are some really impressive storm clouds:applause:
