July 11, 201114 yr That's it...im looking for a good Water addon for my FSX.Not really into REX...i've been using another set of clouds which look WAYYY better imo than REX...but that's just me.Thing is i dont wanna install the whole thing just to get the water textures from them...any good replacement? Payware or Freeware.Thx in advance. My Youtube Channel (P3D/FSX/X-Plane Videos and much more!)
July 11, 201114 yr Moderator Che, the only other water replacements I am aware of are those of FEX available from Flight1. You would have to install the UI to get the water textures installed, but you dont have to install the cloud or sky textures.I own REX and FEX and imho, the water sets available from REX are the best around.You do know that in REX you can edit the water yourself to make the colors look the way you want, right? Between the edits and 20 or 30 animations to choose from, I cant see what else you could possibly want in water?I'll bet you that what is really the cause of the water not looking the way you want, is not so much the water textures or animations, but more the waterclass that comes stock in FSX that calls for that neon blue tropcial water in areas where water doesn't really look like that. Rio de Janerio water looks horrible no matter what water you have installed by REX or FEX, until you change the waterclass for that area to make the sim call for different textures, same could be said for many areas.You might also want to try FSWC which is a freeware tool you can use to change different aspects of the waters reflections and looks.
