Okay, it took a night and a day to download, nearly an hour to read what it downloaded, 30 minutes installing, 6 minutes loading any texture format. Was it worth it.
You bet your arse! :friday::ernae:
I figured on the slow download, took it for granted all servers would be pushed to the max. With such a large download, I expected the installation time. the only real complaint is the initial loading time for any one theme, average six minutes. Once you pick a theme and your selection of cloud textures (I used the downsized 2048 textures), runway surfaces, sun, water textures, ocean texture, tropical water texture, etc. and download the textures to FSX, you're good to go.
Here's the brilliant thing, once your REX textures are loaded you can use default weather settings, even Active Sky in lieu of REX's active weather engine, and still get the REX graphics. Like REP, you have to back up your existing textures before ever installing any REX textures.
I'll let the screens do the talking. It is well worth your investment if you can patiently wait the process gents. I expect when orders slow down, download times will increase also. Also, in any mode I tried, there was no hit on frame rates. I may even reset the cloud texture to the whooping 4096 X 4096.
The runway textures are gorgeous and most impressive in rain or snow.
