Not familiar with REX products.

 

 

Why can't I find weather.exe for the setup screen?

 

Also, when I save a theme does it save for both FSX and P3D V2 at the same time?

 

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

I believe you will have to wait until REX 4 Weather Direct is released before you will have the weather engine, unless you already have REX Extreme, then you just run it in the meantime. REX 4 Textures Direct are textures only, no weather engine. They will however work with manually created weather themes as Prepar3D does not have a built in weather engine like FSX does using Microsoft's own weather servers. REX 4 Weather Direct and REX 4 Weather Architect should be coming out fairly shortly.

 

Hope this helps.

Vineguy I did post there but they are having problems with their server.

Bill you can point Texture Direct at any weather program you use. Be it REX Essentials, Active Sky, Opus etc.  So what you would do there is browse to your weather engine of choice that you have installed ( the exe file.)  What this does is allow REX Texture Direct to boot your weather engine while booting FSX after installing a theme from texture direct.

The themes will be saved for any sim you have installed, FSX,P3d V1.4 and 2.0.

 

Hope that helps a little.

Anyone know if they will be releasing a total package like REX 3 is, w/ weather engine & textures all in one interface?

it is yet unknown how the REX 4 add ons will integrate but they will be sold separately and afaik, looking at the REX 4 texture interface, I think they will also work separately. I don't expect a total package: that would be odd now they've separated everything.

Yes that makes sense but is a bit of a bad thing to me.  Like I'm sure many/most users we have our default textures and tying up 16Gb just for a few different texture sets doesn't sit well w/ me since I'm trying to keep my SSD space available as I have both FSX & P3D on one drive.  And really all I care about is a better water texture set for V2.   If n when I lose FSX then maybe I'll jump in to REX4.   Near as I can tell the response has been OK but not fabulous.   Water still appears to be less than ideal from the screenshots I've seen.

Regardless of everything else: you shouldn't install REX on an SSD: just install it on a regular HD. REX doesn't need to tbe on the SSD like FSX/P3D. That would be a waste of precious SSD space! You should only install the sim on an SSD and things that have to be loaded during flying (airplanes, scenery).

I know that's the conventional wisdom, however I am committed to keeping everything on one SSD, except for downloaded software executables and other data which I keep on an HDD.  I like this approach because I back up my entire OS & sims as a single cloned operation for instant restarts in the event of a SSD failure. But I know what you're saying and why.  I actually have ample SSD space vacant, about 305Gb out of 500Gb, and that is w/ FSX fully installed & P3DV2 w/ FTXG, a few aircraft, mesh, etc.   In reality, the 16gb of storage on that drive only cost $11, so not to much preciousness!

Jeroen, 

Do you know if any of the REX4 water textures get rid of the star reflections?  This alone could be worth the $$!
