I see the backup feature in Rex is not working. Running the feature does not restore my texture set to Pre-Rex. Does anyone know what file in the texture folder is for the overall sky?

REX replaces stuff in your root texture folder, as well as the Scenery/World/Texture folder.For sky, it's the sky*.bmp files. There's about 250~ish of them! -feng

Thanks Feng I just bought 'Real Sky Pro Edition' to fix the background sky color. I'm sure I'm going to get a good fit with Rex now...

Dillon,Best sky textures come from here:http://secure.simmarket.com/sl-real-sky-pro-edition.phtmlOnly thing i use from REX is clouds, water...but sky NO! Cause it look unnatural, at least to me.

Thanks for the great advice. :( Rex in combination with RealSky Pro is fantastic to say the least... I only needed to replace the background day sky texture as Rex's Dusk/Dawn textures are more than adequate.

Does anyone know what textures control Jet Black night??? Even though the option was unchecked REX still changed my night environment to Jet Black (night)... Why can't the options just do what's requested of them via the utility.... :(

Sorry, but we haven't heard from you in our forum reporting any issues, nor asking for help. We are listening Dillon, and we help each and every one of our customers with their specific problems or suggestions. Nothing that can't be fixed/added to a service pack to satisfy our user base. You are welcome there sir. Cheers.

Do you also have an email address available for support? Personally, I'm hesitant to sign up at yet another forum to only use it once or twice. So I'd prefer email support, perhaps others do too.

I love the clouds, I love the water, but I too now look at the sky, and I'm not that pleased yet. I'll have to find a sky texture that is less vibrant. Fortunately, I have an entire database of REX textures to go, so I'll be busy for the next hour trying to find what I look for.

It's been 8 hours and there's still no response on your forum as to how to solve my problem. I have real issues with add-ons changing stuff I didn't want them to change with no option to correct the problem. I'm really starting to get ticked here about this... :(

I for one and really enjoying REX for FS2004. It really breathes new life into FS9 for me. I use ASA for weather and love the combination when used in conjunction with REX. The amount of color options for the phases of the dawn/day/dusk are awesome. I've been able to find texture sets that match up with what I am seeing outside almost perfectly.Are there bugs? Yes. But what new app/add-on/etc.. doesn't have them at release? Besides, the REX team will get the issues worked out.Thanks for the great add-on, Tim and Team.

I'm not sure how much its realistic to expect from a product at this stage of FS9's existance. I mean the sim is about 6 years old now...how much real improvement can we expect from texture manipulation? Not to take anything away from REX. I just don't know how much better the sim can possibly look by adding another cloud/sky set and different water textures. I'm currently using Pablo Diaz's HD package and I love the clouds and skies I get from that. With AS6.5 and GE pro...well, I just don't think theres much more to be improved. I don't really see anything in any of the screens I've seen posted that looks appreciably different than what I've got... :( again, thats not a criticism of REX really. I just don't know how much more water can be squeezed out of the stone that is FS9...

Dillon,I answered your thread. Sorry, but the entire world is not on your schedule. We are all human, and need sleep to.Ark, thank you for your kind words sir.

What I'm really missing in REX (or perhaps I haven't had a chance to see it yet) is good solid overcast and solid culumnus fronts that FE implemented in a very good way.

I'm sorry for my disappointment here as I do like this product overall it's just things like the GUI having a mind of it's own and the various sky textures (that had me buying yet another add-on to correct it) that threw me. You guys did a good job overall and I appreciate your continued FS9 interest. All will get figured out in due time it's just frustrating with some of these unexpected issues...I know many like the 'Jet Black (Night)' concept because in theory this is how it really is at night in the real world. This is true on the onset but Aces got this one right overall. Things in the cockpit and around the airport are very dark at night but your eyes adjust to a point what you get with Microsoft's default option is more of what you get in the real world. You can see pretty good at night especially in the cockpit without turning on the dome light to adjust various switches. No you won't see mountains ahead of you but in the confines of the cockpit you can see pretty good with minimal lighting... With 'Jet Black (Night)' nothing adjusts and you constantly see night as you would see it in the real world coming from a room with light into darkness...
