hi,I've got a big problem with rex 2.0. Every time I want to fly, rex takes ages (20 mn) to load the textures into FS, convert things and so forth. Am I doing something wrong or is it the way this program works. if so it is not acceptable. :( thank you for your help.

If you set REX to load the non-water textures, things move alot faster.Also , you can load in the textures you like once and then used them everytime you load the sim, you are not obligated to install the REX textures everytime you want to fly in the sim.

The REX textures are just that: textures. Once you've loaded (installed) a theme - that's it. Finito. Unless you want to use the weather engine, or change your cloud - or sky look or feel - you don't need to start REX at all.

hi,Thank you for your replies. I understand now but I think that the "i just want to fly" icon is a bit deceptive; it did not occur to me that it implies a complete texture reload because I had already saved the textures I wanted to use. the weather textures are great. When skimming the bottom of cloud layers, it is really impressive. The clouds look beautiful.Happy flying.
