REX Essential PLUS and Overdrive released

Well worth the wait

I was fortunate in just having to D/L the update (3.6G's) . I did do it at 0500 Eastern Time using the Amazon server which I had never used before . It took around 57 minutes on a Time Warner Cable modem so I was very lucky . I had to try it out at ORBX's KJAC with the CSim-130 . Had to check the weather out for the VP ;) This is using Prepar3D . It is a little crowded here at Jackson Hole . I hope the "Big Man" appreciates this !

Used the torrent download and got it done in less than 3 hours...but there seems to be an issue with the pictures of the various textures/clouds showing up in the interface. I'll check it out again tomorrow...been kind of busy today.

2 hrs later I found out what I did wrong. Be sure to read the installation instructions very carefully!

Would you share what it was that you did wrong and how you fixed it? Based on your description, I seem to be having a similar problem, i.e., no graphics.

Just typical; installed Plus and nowhere was there any interesting weather to fly in....



The most important thing to me is the reduced loading time! No more 10-15 minutes of waiting..
There are probably a few more things new (Like the interface); there's a list here: http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/news.html

A few uneditted screenshots, except for a bit of cropping; Spitfire over Megascenery Hawaii:

Which sets of clouds were you using? (I haven't managed to find very many soft sets.)

To be honest I have no idea, and I just did a new, clean install this afternoon because I have some in-game problems that I can't find the cause of. It's either REX, Accufeel, or the new pack of videodrivers I installed...
 
I waited until the dust settled, then used the new Amazon D/L link and grabbed the upgrade app in about 55 minutes. Awesome inprovements -- as far as I've checked so far.
 
That was NUTS :isadizzy: trying to download but moral is to keep trying. Number 4 download finally did it for me. Like others, download kept saying it was corrupt. The install went very quick once unzipped :mixedsmi:. Don't give up, keep trying.

I did the upgrade patch so download did not take all that long.

Time to go check it out!
 
10 min. impression = WOW. Departed Kjac clear weather and flew north...spotted weather over yellowstone park area. cloud bank remained as I flew to it and remained as I flew in it. Clouds were like those soft winter clouds and thick. I could feel the chill in the air. Nice job Rex, I think God would be impressed with those clouds!

This is just great! :applaus:

A few uneditted shots, except for resizing and a bit of cropping:

Finally got it downloaded, but honestly, it just looks like REX to me. :sleep: Takes an even longer time than before to load weather data when you launch the configurator. Other than that, it works.
