• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

REX Essential Release

Councur with Dain Arns. Weather only takes a few mins to load. I have coverage area set to Medium. The only thing I have noticed so far is that even tho I have it checked to automatically start when FS starts, I have to manually start it.
 
I have to admit, my initial thoughts about REX E was "so what". Screen shots were not that convincing. But since it was a free download on top of my current version of REX, I gave it a spin.

I must say that the cloud textures seem more realistic, softer in texure, and some of the early morning lighting, haze effects are quite beautiful when you run the weather engine. They turned the volume up on the thunder which is unfortunate because the original thunder sounds seemed more realistic, distant - to me ast least. No FPS hits that I can tell in early flights. Add Shade, and the expereince is quite lovely.
