Had a flight from EGLL to EDDF last might in the MD-11 running REX 2.0. Beautiful dawn clouds with sun peeking through at Heathrow. Overall my FPS's are up a few from 1.0 Really liek all but the sudden clear from Hazy. Wish that was more gradual

In the configuration settings do you have "Enable Metar Real Visibility" checked? if so uncheck it and set the Maximum low visibility slider to 30mn I did this today and am getting alot more cloud coverage and no sudden clear transitions.

but how realistic is that? Always 30nm vis max?

I think it is one of those unconquered frontiers of weather simulation (in FS) - as far as I know no one ever provided a satisfactory solution to those sudden visibility transitions.

I'm loving the MD-11!!!

There are other settings between 10nm and 50nm

This topic has been discussed ad nauseam on the main FSX forum. It really has nothing to do with PMDG.Blake

Sounds to me like it hasn't been thought through carefully enough.Just because FS says it is suddenly clear, doesn't mean the weather engine has to suddenly set it to clear (I'm guessing it interacts in real-time with FS?).Just my $0.02.Neither REX or HFS will have my business until they sort out these issues. Flashy UIs don't cut it.Best regards,Robin.

Seriouslyif it's not enough that fs-x is heavily unoptimized, you need another addons which will decrease your performence...i mean seriously

Seriously what? I do not understand your post? Are you ######ing because REX is for FSX and not FS2004 ? Duh, that is what the X in the name is for. Or are you ######ing because FSX has an add-on? Well, surprise, surprise, the FS2004 version of REX was called Real Environment Pro. You probably already have it installed. To be honest, it sometimes sounds like you might be ######ing out of habit, and it doesn't sound very clever.

REX2 does not decrease performance vs. default FS clouds from what I've seen, in many cases it actually seems faster.

Hi Paul,REX is until today only for FSX. Now that the v.2 has released, Tim and Reed with the team are working for the FS2004 version.The Real Environment Pro is a free package for FS2004 which looks very nice but it is not REX.More information and screenshots of REX for FS2004 are available on their website.You'll be surprised when you'll see the screenshots.Regards,

Well, I made the change and I'm using REX now, instead of ASX+Graphics. The skies are amazing, unbelievable! But an old problem turned up: the landing lights of my MD-11 don't illuminate the runway ahead. Had this problem also with ASX, but unchecking the landing light textures solved the problem. The same solution doesn't seem to work with REX: I unchecked Landing lights in the Options menu (and Runway lights and Aircraft Strobe too, to be sure), but no effect (see screenshot). Anyone else has this problem and found a solution...? BTW: the wing lights on the other hand do illuminate the ground, although not much.

Try verifying you have the original spotlight.bmp? Just a guess but it might work.

Shame on me. Forget about my post please. I forgot to put back the backupfiles :( All working fine now.

Pieter,I have some problems. MD11X landing lights. How did you fix it?Sanal
