September 15, 201312 yr ...just some shots out of the VC, but it just looks so real...! FSX has never been better! Plane: A2A C172R Scenery: FTX Globlal plus Norwegian freeware Environment: OpusFSX with REX clouds and skies
September 15, 201312 yr May I ask what REX sets you are sing? Im not too happy with the ones I'm using now, but these looks great:-) Want to copy:-) Ryzen 7 9800X3D || MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC 32GB || G.Skill TridentZ 32GB@6000CL32 || Asus ROG Strix B650E Kingston Fury 4TB M.2 NVMe || Phanteks Glacier One 360 T30 v2 || Phanteks NV5 || BeQuiet Straight Power 1200W LG C4 42'' 4k@144hz || Oculus Quest 3 || Turtle Beach Velocity One
September 15, 201312 yr May I ask what REX sets you are sing? Im not too happy with the ones I'm using now, but these looks great:-) Want to copy:-) Great shots! I'd also be keen to see your REX settings! Sky: Graceful Rising (OD), Testing Testing (OD), REX Natural Dusk Cloud: 21/Strato Cumulus, 32/Alto Cumulus HD Enabled Everything else is disabled in REX (so FSX default). And btw, quite important, I think, I have everything set to a resolution of 512!!! I'm not a fan of HD clouds. Imho those 'low res clouds' look far more realistic. The above textures were adviced to me by Nyxx and there is even is a REX-set named accordinly, so you should be able to install the entire set (including water animation and what not) with one click. And btw too: I use OpusFSX but I have cirrus disabled so all the clouds you see are in fact 21/Strato Cumulus. Anyway, I have used different textures in the past but this is by far the most realistic one, at least for the regions where I fly (Northern Europe). Don't forget that the color of the sky also has an impact on the overal color of the scenery. I never like those VERY BLUE skies you see so often.
September 15, 201312 yr Really nice shots. What a beautiful 172! That wing view is amazing. Gabriel J. T. Rodrigues My mods in the library My photography (site updated!)

September 15, 201312 yr Jeroen, you've converted me to 512 clouds! Cheers. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

Unlike normal clouds, cirrus appears to be drawn like a circle thats not even close to the horizon and does not look good at all(an FSX "feature" and no fault of Opus). From a realistic perpective; I really can't remember ever seeing cirrus clouds above the A/C when reaching cruise going ENBR-ENGM or any other routes, so to me, the cirrus is "unrealistic" so to speak:-) Will also try the 512 res, maybe that will help me out with the OOM's I'm getting with the PMDG T7. Only plane so far that gives me OOM...

September 16, 201312 yr Jeroen, you've converted me to 512 clouds! Cheers. My pleasure. ^_^ Thnx:-) Yeah, I've disabled the cirrus clouds in Opus as well.

Only plane so far that gives me OOM... I disabled cirrus for various reasons: 1. indeed the obvious circle you see, which travels along with you; 2. on my pc cirrus kept popping on and off in certain locations which looked even worse than clouds popping up; 3. the cirrus was too clearly a texture and quite often repetitive; 4. I had problems with double layers of cirrus, making all the above even worse. And yes, I also don't see it as often in real life as I did in FSX. Besides, who needs cirrus if you have skies like on those screenshots? ^_^
September 17, 201312 yr Tried and found this way better than my own set. The 512x512 looks much better, which came as a huge suprise to be frank. I never gave it much thought, I just assumed HD is better...but how wrong was I?
