September 21, 201114 yr Im looking for somthing to replace the crappy FSX sky colors.. it seems that HDE ver 2 has sky colors, but when ya try to use them, it crashes FSX upon startup. So it seems I may need to find other ones.

September 21, 201114 yr Author REX, FEX, add Shade to the mix and it's real as it gets... ok I should specify.. Im looking for freeware.. Im in college I dont have money to go and buy things like that.
September 21, 201114 yr unlike life, the best things in FSX aren't free...Shade only costs $11... Ryzen 5800X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090, Windows 11
September 21, 201114 yr Author unlike life, the best things in FSX aren't free...Shade only costs $11... I never said I was looking for the best.. Just somthing a lil better then default PURPLE!?!? purple has gotta be the worst color of a sunrise ever. Have the FS designers ever even witnessed a sunrise?

Here's the link http://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=hdeskytexturesfsx-1.zip&fileId=34817The converted ones for FSX work fine and I have actually used bits and pieces of them with REX sky colors to get the look I want. The only think from the original HDE package you can use in FSX is the clouds, but the sky textures that came with that package wont work in FSX. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
September 21, 201114 yr Commercial Member +1 for Shade, I enjoy it. REX is also great but if you're only interested in the sky textures I'd go for Shade. Noah Bryant
September 21, 201114 yr I've got REX and FEX textures coming out the ears, but I still go back to Pablo Diaz's sky colors. Yes, sometimes the best things in FS ARE free....
