No one can make that guarantee, everyone's machines are different and run textures and 3rd party programs differently.

What you should do is try both the REX Essentials Wx engine and compare it with AS2012.

Should take you max of 15 minutes to see which one gives you better frame rates.

 

Plus the Essentials manual gives tips on setting up textures, like avoiding the 4096 HD textures as they can cause massive performance loss on most systems.

Up to you to find out what works and what doesn't on your own machine.

I believe tripcap7 is correct; different machines run things differently, especially with a near infinite variety of hardware and software. I understand that some people have had issues with the REX weather injection process, while others, such as myself have not. I do know that Essentials has a great degree of customizability with regards to the weather engine, including varying the intensity of wind shear and turbulence, frequency of injection, smoothing, to name only a few. The REX textures seem to be near unanimously accepted to be superior; the weather engine has been the subject of some debate, though in my personal, admittedly biased opinion, that may have as much to do with the complexity of REX's engine as opposed to any "problem." My suggestion is, before buying both products, if you're going to purchase Essentials for the textures anyway, thoroughly read the manual and experiment with the multiple settings related to the weather engine. In that respect I believe that Essentials is not unlike the PMDG NGX itself; its complexity is a positive, rather than negative attribute.

19 minute rex!

 

Today I had the urge to get away from the VA and do some bush flying. Before I started I set my timer and clicked on REX and jumped in a c172 at departure airport (around 4 mins in fsx)

 

I waited for the green bar to stop loading at the bottom of the REX screen and then hit the "I just want to fly" tab and waited for the random textures to load.

 

that took a whole 19 mins exactly :lazy:

 

Can some body else with a system similar to mine do a comparison using the steps above?

 

Everything is set to default and have "high end system" setting in the config screen

It shouldnt take you 19 mintues for the weather to load initially on mine it take 2 and half minutes for the weather and the weather interpolating to load, than if i click just fly it takes about another 4 minutes before iam at the gate ready to go. The longest part for me for some reason is the loading of my fsx initially, although if i start another session its quicker still.As aj has pointed out it all depends on ones machines and if you have it installed correctly like did you turn off your avg and use admin to install it

all anti V turned off. So installing as ADMIN will help? Im not sure if it will help with a faster down load.

it's nothing to do with antivirus, or permission. as listed above, if you are writing new textures you need to do that stuff before you are running the sim.

 

otherwise it takes forever since fsx is hogging the cpu and i don't know if it even does anything since fsx already loaded those textures when it ran.

 

if you dont wanna tweak textures at all it takes like a minute or two, if you load them all it tops out for me at like 3-4 minutes for me also, similar specs i think

 

cheers

Since they advised when installing rexe make sure you install it with admin rights if your using w7 other wise you will have troubles this has been advised by tim and and gurus at the rex forum and when you run rexe you also got to right click and use admin rights if you havnt got it automatically selected already

okay thanks guys will try again, may have to re install

okay thanks guys will try again, may have to re install

before you do have you posted your problem in the rex forum since there be the best place for a solution where it could be a easy fix, if you do an uninstall make sure you use the restore option to set your textures back to where they were before, make sure you follow the correct proceedure for uninstalling

will do.

 

first thing I see in main forum ,identical problem

will do.

yea just seen your reply you should get a answer within 24 hours but you need to put your fs order details in other wise they will ask you for the info anyway

Edit

i just noticed have you installed rex ensential since if you have you posted your problem in the wrong forum it should be posted in the rex essential forum otherwise they get confused

Will throw my 2 cents in...

 

REX-E is still rubbish for tube liner flights, its it awesome for GA planes as you dont get a 150kt 180deg wind changes (using FSUIPC wind smoothing and also tried REX-E wind smoothing)

 

So my advise, REX-E for low and slow stuff and ASE/AS2012 for tube liner/high altitude flights, EG over the last 3 days I have done 7 hours non stop in the NGX, 11 hours in the Queen and 8 hours in the MD-11 (gotta love having days off hahah) for 5 hours over the Atlantic the weather/wind did not change once (which is kind of fair...not many wx stations out there) but goto to the Canadian Coast and a 150kt 180deg wind shift....and the silly "haze" was gone.

 

Also had heaps of issues with the METAR in rex not matching even remotely close to what rex is inputting into FSX.

 

I'm glad it was a free update, as it still has the same basic issues that REX 2.0 had, Was really hoping the wind shift and super long load times would be fixed, as I love REX, the textures are flipping sweet, but BASIC weather needs to be addressed before I would recommend it to anyone.

I was thinking this exact thought about a week ago, but after taking that approach, I gave up on it. I'll have to go back to AS2012.

After spending a few hours googling, I think I have found a solution.

 

start rex

let textures load

shut down rex

open FSX

select large cloud draw radius in settings

click on real time weather in FSX

 

Im flying over Sydney with an amazing wall of cloud up to 12000ft and above as per screen shot.

 

 

edit. By loading the weather through FSX there is no sharp bursts of unrealistic weather injection like with the rex engine. There is no green banner saying rex is loading.

 

the cloud texture from rex is phenomenal
