Rex or Ground Environment + Flight Environment?

[Guest mandolfovic]

Hey! Just an easy question, what is best, Ground Environment + Flight Environment or Real Environment Xtreme? :)

[joherszch 21]

I would definitely go with Real Environment Xtreme. Flight Environment was released in 2005 if my memory serves me right. Even with update I personally don't thinkt that FE can't match REX. Go with Ground Environment Professional and Real Environment Xtreme, and you'll be a happy simmer =)

You are probably better off to get REX 2004 and Ground Environment Pro 11 if you can afford it. As someone else in this forum said , it turns FS9 into FS9.75.Gerry

I would add to this thread that some, and I count myself amongst them, who find the superimposition of photorealistic clouds with no photoreal thextures of many airports, ground textures etc at times a bit jarring . . . a bit like those photographic 2d panels bmps that some favour which to me look odd in the non photo environment of fs2004. And to this end I personally find the cloud textures of FE blend more harmoniously. I guess I'm in the minority here but just if you haven't made your mind up yet it might be a point worth considering. Finally I am just talking about the cloud textures here. There are comparisons in the water textures to be made too . . . not to mention in the case of REX runway textures etc. The latter have no interest for me as I oly use payware airports but, again . . . something to throw into the equation.

Add Zinerteck's Water add-on in place of REX's water options and you have FS9.85 (a little edit is need for excessive coral reefing in the Caribbean but that's about it). FS add-ons too much Coral with textures that REX omitted and blended in with everything else. I had to make the same adjustments with Zinertek once I found REX addressed the issue.

I was thinking of going with Zinertek

[Guest mandolfovic]

I was thinking of going with Zinertek's Ultimate Water Advanced also, but I'm wondering if REX next service pack might improve the issues with water color and the waves.

[Guest djt01]

But you are using REX for the water effects now? :D because your water and waves are way more realistic than mine i don't know why :o

Do you have the water option in FS9 at it

[Guest mandolfovic]

Do you have the water option in FS9 at it's maximum setting?

Yes i have (ive tried both Terrain detail, land & water, and Water Quality High), and im sure i have the right settings on REX and installed the new theme but i cant see any change from FS9 original water... Look here:As you can see REX has modified the clouds and the sky... Strange isnt it? :( Ps!thanks for your help!
