I don't want to build a REX theme...I would like to use AS6.5 for RW weather engine...does REX choose the appropriate clouds etc? I have Real Environment freeware for FS9 (same guys who do REX)...what's different/better in the payware version? Also, looking at the REX 2.0 gallery, most if not all pics are FSX (I have REX for FSX) are there any for FS9?THanksRich Perry

Hi,I'll let Tim answer for sure, but I think REX 2 can pick textures based on weather conditions.

Hi Rich

I don't want to build a REX theme...I would like to use AS6.5 for RW weather engine...does REX choose the appropriate clouds etc?

Yes, but only if you use the weather screen in REX, prior to your flight and let REX pick the textures via the WX TEXTURES button. There's a very descriptive area in the user manual outlining this. After the textures are submitted, you can quit REX and go about your business with AS and FS9.

I have Real Environment freeware for FS9 (same guys who do REX)...what's different/better in the payware version?

If you have REX for FSX version I would think you know the difference between the free version and the payware version. Basically it's EVERYTHING the FSX version offers, with the exception of FSX specifics stripped out. There's really no comparison.

Also, looking at the REX 2.0 gallery, most if not all pics are FSX (I have REX for FSX) are there any for FS9?
