FSX-MS Questions about REX - Real Environment Xtreme

[uk-plane1 0]

Hello i'm seriously considering a REX product but i need some help on which one. *i have low-end PC*

 

 

What i don't want

 

I don't want cloud textures from REX unless the fps are better than world environment 2012 

I certainly don't want the weather program because i have FS Global Real Weather ( Can i disable this ) ?

 

What i do want from REX

 

New water textures

Lighting

New runway textures if possible?

 

QUESTION

 

I don't want REX weather to interfere with FS Real weather - is it possible to disable this?

Is REX worth adding with Fs Global real weather and World environment 2012?

 

Thanks , Nathan

Hello Nathan,

 

1/Yes

2/I think it would be ok with Fs Global real weather (I use REX and ASN without problem). I don't know with World environment 2012.

Ok and what REX product would be best for my preferences with low-end PC?

 

OR could i get REX and just install things i want example Water textures?

"OR could i get REX and just install things i want example Water textures?"

 

Absolutely, and you can change the resolution of the water, clouds...

Nathan: REX is great and I use REX 4 and extreme+od as well as AS 2012 for textures. But I also use HDE v2 (free) and water configurator (free) both which have -great- textures that are comparable to the pay stuff.

Thanks for the video , i will hold back my purchase from REX until i can confirm that i can disable their weather program. 

 

The HDE V2 looks great!

REX 4 does not come with the weather program, just textures. REX Essentials +OD comes with both. I would get REX 4 if I were in your position. It's cheaper and has all the same textures. I have both. REX 4 and ASN on P3D as well as REX Essenials + OD on FSX.

 You will find  that rexe  has more  textures  than rex4  has  and  it has the better  water  textures  than rex4  at the moment

One last question before i buy.

 

Does anyone here use fs global weather with REX and is it compatibility:) 

 

Thanks all

cant  see  any issues at all other  wise  you would have  read about  it  in the rex  forums  etc  and  in here  being  the avsim forums. Just make sure  you untick the weather  engine in the option  section of  the rexe  gui

[stufer 30]

I've used Rex Essential Plus for years and used the weather engine when I first got it. But then I got Opus and later ASN and all I did was disabled the Rex weather engine. It's a tick in the options section that allows you to use it or not - it's that simple. So while I don't have the weather engine you use, I am confident that it will be compatible with it because it's just a case of turning off the Rex one by taking the tick out of the box!

 

Cheers

Ok thanks everyone for the help i will get REX 4 not the other one due to my LOW end laptop.

[TheNerd 12]

Stuart's right. You don't have to use the weather engine. I would still recommend REX 4 though. As I said, it's cheaper. And the textures are still the same resolution so you would still get the same performance. In both programs, you can choose the resolution of the clouds all the way from 512x512 (best performance) to 4096x4096 (best looking).

I have both REX Essential+ (I had OD at one point but managed to lose it during an update) and REX4 Texture Direct. REX4TD may be cheaper but it has no-where near the number of texture choices as REXE+. So bear that in mind. And it's very very simple to not use the weather engine from it.
