December 15, 201114 yr I am back to FSX after 3 years away. I built a nice high power machine (Geforce 550 TI, Intel i5 etc).Runs smooth at 30fps with almost all sliders maxed out.I notice when flying in clouds, which I was really never able to do in the past), they look VERY blocky and banding. Not a misty look like I expected.Any ways to improve this?
December 15, 201114 yr Do you have a seperate weather engine i.e REX or Active Sky or are you using FSX default weather ? Tristan Living in the beautiful Chilterns.

December 15, 201114 yr Author Using default. are there any good free ones out there? I did change some video card settings and I think it is better though
December 15, 201114 yr Not sure about any free ones but REX along with ASE will do u wonders. Matt Wilson
December 15, 201114 yr Author REX looks really nice. Do I need Active Sky with it? It looks like it has it's own textures?
December 15, 201114 yr As of now ASE doesnt have there own textures. ASE will just use the REX textures. I was amazed the difference it made over the default or REX weather engine. Much more realistic looking. After having it I couldnt fly without it. Matt Wilson

December 16, 201114 yr Author If I want to run REX2 with just the textures (the weather engine is dreadfully slow), do I uncheck Enable REX weather engine? That will still give me textures?
