Rex soft clouds, how can I instal in prepar 3 D v3?

Featured Replies

Unlike Rex textures program, it installs automatic to prepar 3D v2

Is there a way to install in V3?

Just point the installer to P3D directory. It worked for me for soft clouds and REX essential+ Overdrive.

Same here just pointed the installer to my P3D V3 folder and it worked. They still look awesome too..

As the helpful folks have stated just in case to point it to V3 You go into main rex menu and change the file location to the main v3 folder - no deeper

 

Do not load water animations or sun effects you should be good to go

Is it only me who don´t like the clouds in P3D? In higher levels (350 e.g.) they often look like popcorn. I´m already tried different rex sets (softclouds and rex hd). At least the same sets looks in FSX much better when I´m flying in higher flight levels.  

 

Seems not be an individual "problem" as I already have seen it on different pics from different user.

I too, thought is was only me experiencing this. There seems to be a long, thin layer of small 'popcorn' clouds above the main cloud layer from about FL250-FL400. I've also noticed that if you view the aircraft from the ground using the 'S' cycle  key, there are a number of sets of engine contrails which break off to one side, briefly pair back to the engines, then multiply again. Still early dais of v3 release, you would expect a few teething problems.

but I have to say that I already have this issue with V2. My hope was that it would be better with V3 but unfortuneately it isn´t. You can make things a little bit better in scaling up GetScreenQuadPositions but this has other sideeffects like framedrops.

 

I don´t think that the REX Updates makes things better as it is more a P3D issue. I´m excepting path corrections and other things like this. But we will see.

Hi, any news about installing REX4 Texture Direct HD (stand alone) and REX Soft Clouds (stand alone) into Prepar3d v3?

Select P3Dv3 in Texture Direct, then Install your Texture Direct textures

Then install the Soft clouds after that, selecting P3D and if needed the path to your P3D root folder when asked

You will then have Texture Direct HD Cirrus textures and Soft Clouds as your low level clouds.

If the drop down in Soft Clouds does not offer the Prepar3D v3+ option then your Soft Clouds is in need of updating to SP2 hotfix 1, use the update button to get the required updates.

Much easier though if you download and install the patch to combine Texture Direct and Soft Clouds into one application.
