February 20, 201214 yr Just a simple question for you. What is better REX (with future Essentials) or Active Sky 2012? Thinking of purchasing one soon.ThnxIvan Majetic Ivan Majetic ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO; 7900X3D; NZXT KRAKEN ELITE 360, GIGABYTE RTX 4080; G.SKILL TridentZ NEO RGB DDR5 64 Gb, WD HDD 2TB, SAMSUNG 980PRO, SAMSUNG 970EVO Plus 2x, ALIENWARE 3423DWF
February 20, 201214 yr Not quite sure how anyone can make a judgement on this until Essentials is released. Mark CYYZ
February 20, 201214 yr Author oh ok i didn't know that there is no info on Essentials yet. Any advice on REX vs AS2012 then?

February 20, 201214 yr AS2012's textures load faster then Rex2.0 or OD. I think REX my have the advantage on amount of textures, but I have not done a real count so I could be mistaken. "I am the Master of the Fist!" -Akuma
February 20, 201214 yr I'd wait for Essentials before making the decision. REX said that they originally were going to make Essentials a new program (That means a whole 'nother $30) but instead it's going to be free for REX 2 users... That means, for free, we will have 2 upgrades, Overdrive and Essentials. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
February 20, 201214 yr Author i think i will do just that and wait for the Essentials to come out before making any decissions. Thank you all!

February 20, 201214 yr Commercial Member How about both? There's textures I like best out of both REX 2 and AS2012. I think AS's runways and water are really good and I like REX's clouds and sky. Stuff like that... Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com

February 21, 201214 yr I have had REX from day one and am loyal to them. Essentials is proving to be quite the update based on the info on their forum. As I have not tried ASE, I can't form an oppinion as to the overall quality of their offering. I am comfortable with REX both as an addon and as a company so, as the song goes......"love the one you're with"! Just my own oppinion of course.

February 21, 201214 yr REX Essentials is free if you've brought REX2. So yeah... I'm waiting for REX Essentials! :( Edited February 21, 201214 yr by nzeddy - Edward Boyte | Youtube

Stuff like that...How do you install textures from REX, and not have AS2012 overwrite them when installing their specific textures?

February 21, 201214 yr If You are into visuals, try both if You can afford. I am opposite to Tabs - water from REX, clouds and sky from AS2012.If You are into weather simulation - AS2012 without a doubt Bartłomiej Ender
February 21, 201214 yr oh ok i didn't know that there is no info on Essentials yet. Any advice on REX vs AS2012 then?If you have nothing, buy AS2012 now. It will transform FSX in a way you will find hard to believe.If and when essentials is released, you can decide if there is enough improvement to warrent buying it. Paul Smith.
