September 8, 201015 yr I'm dying here. I haven't been able to fly for a week because I upgraded my video card to a GTX 480 through the EVGA step-up program and I've been using an older card that won't run FSX at all. Tomorrow night will be a different story as UPS has my card at the DFW airport.Can't wait to fire up FSX with the new REX textures and maybe the Aerosoft Airbus too.
September 8, 201015 yr Author :( Downloading now as well.I can't believe how much stuff has been released lately.I agree there is one however that is just about doing me in waiting for, :( :( I won't even bother telling everyone what it is since they already know.

However it should be worth it when you het your card. I have GTX 460 SC and it is a beast! Mike Keigley
September 8, 201015 yr Tried the download link this morning but when trying to save the zipfile it finished in no time and surely enough it wasn't a 3 GB file so guess too many of us are trying to download at the same time, will give it another go later tonight.Would be interesting to hear from you guys who already managed to download the update what your new favourite textures are for getting that "as real as it gets" feeling.

September 8, 201015 yr I try to keep my PC as "clean" as possible and only install apps I really need but thanks for the tip, might try that if I'm unable to download the upgrade without the download manager.Anyone had the chance to try out the new textures yet?
September 8, 201015 yr I downloaded overnight. The install seemed to go fine until the end when I received an error message. There are a few over at the REX forums with the same issue. I think I will hold off on this for a few days.

I think I will hold off on this for a few days. You have to point the setup to your REX2 folder. It does not do it for you automatically. That's why you might have an install problem. I pointed the setup program to the folder...and it installed correctly. Whew!Now to see what it does... :)Post Edit: You also have to activate OD textures where you want them when setting up your themes. Not all textures are OD. :)Cheers,Mitch'er
September 8, 201015 yr OK, back at home again so will try to download the update and hope for more luck this time!Any new favourite textures yet...?

Its free and it works great for resuming downloads.
September 8, 201015 yr What value does this add? What does it do that it does not already do? Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
