November 21, 201411 yr Hi! Had to install P3D from scratch because my hard drive suddenly died. I used the opportunity to get FTX Global. Had ASN already. The question is: do I still need REX? OK, 'need' is very relative but in your opinion - does it make sense? And if so - which of the products is the right one? There is REX, REX essential plus, REX essential Plus with overdrive, Rex 4 texture direct... :blink: As I understand, the overdrive feature means HD textures - but (how) do they impact performance? Also there'S a weather engine - but I already have ASN. I'm a little confused right now... Can you enlighten me? Thank you!

November 22, 201411 yr Author Thank you! So, I'll take a closer look into texture direct. Although I must say that I find the stock clouds in P3D quite appealing! Do the REX textures change performance in one or the other way? CPU: Ryzen 5800X3D not OC, MB: MSI Tomahawk B450, RAM: 32GB DDR 4 3600, GPU: Geforce 5070 Ti not OC, 2TB SDD, Res: 4K
