In using REX Essential with OD,

 

1. do I need to leave it on for the whole duration of my flight?

2. If I want to use OPUS for weather instead of the rex weather, how do weather textures from REX get used in FSX with weather from OPUS ? (sorry about the confusing way I wrote this question)

 

Thanks.

Hi, I

You ones installed the textures REX like clouds, runways ect inside FSX I assume?

 

Only run REX when you use REX weather!

 

And you do not run REX when you use Opus weather!

It depends.

 

REXe does two things, it installs textures into FSX and it runs as a weather engine.

 

If all you want is the textures you can just install them into the sim, close REXe and work away. If you want it to provide the weather too, it needs to be running.

 

Opus (another weather engine) injects the weather into the sim and the sim will display whatever textures it has installed, so to use REXe with Opus, just install the textures, close REXe, then run opus and FSX as normal...

 

REX textures stay installed until overwritten with different ones or restored to the default.
