Requires a one time 5 dollar upgrade fee? 

If you mean a license fee  than yes

I didn't realize.  Interesting way of making a little extra money on the side.  Well good for them.

Interesting, in that we spent almost 6 months working on the commercial weather engine for P3D which was later rolled into REX Essential PLUS. We have to recoup the funds for that venture somehow.

Actually I can see how you might have taken my comment the unintended way.  $5 bucks is just fine by me and very reasonable....no issue mate.  My comment was why would one wonder about a $5 fee to "upgrade"...it's no big deal and much appreciated.

 

Some day I will own a video card that can handle DX11 and then I will look to get my REX for P3D.

 

cheers.

Just as an aside, as I have no problem with paying for P3D integration, $5 is well-worth it, but I did notice that although I can purchase REX using Paypal, I seem to require a credit card for the license fee?

Bryan, actually it was simply an FYI, I didn't take it as you think.

 

@toprob, you can purchase the full program using any means via our distributors, however because we're in charge of handling the in-app purchase, we use authorize.net as our gateway, and tell you the truth it's a PITA to set this up using PayPal. We might be changing this in the near future, depending on the need.

Cheers, Tim, I figured as much, I can wait until I can safely use my credit card again:)

Hah! I know what you mean. My biggest mistake was handing over the CC to my wife last month.

I bought the REX Prepar3D license, however I cannot use it: the REX water texture is awful looking like pieces of blocks. Anyone has the same problem? Thanks!

Then use the 32-bit option for Wave Animations within the REX OPTIONS MANAGER. You obviously have DXT1 set currently.

I suspect it's going to be much worse with some other (aircraft) developers who shall remain nameless. Bend over and close eyes fellow P3Ders.

It's great to see the REX guys only charging $5 for a license upgrade fee. Unfortunately, not all developers will be so generous.....

Don't know  where you guys  are getting  the $5 charging  fee   from, its actually its $4.99

timest,

 

Thanks a lot!
