March 15, 201610 yr FEX is not even close, but the last time that I explained the background as to why the REX Soft Clouds approach was technically superior, the post got deleted. :Shame On You: Guess someone didnt want to see another flaming topic - nothing personal I would assume Rich Sennett
March 15, 201610 yr Not sure I'm even going to reinstall honestly when they do update... I've got Texture Direct w/ Soft Clouds, but never did reinstall for 3.1, and can't say I've missed it at all. Not sure it's worth the hassle. Apparently I can't even tell the difference ha Allen, flight sim lover and AA-5 Traveler owner

March 15, 201610 yr REX can be set to DX10 and DX11. In the time FEX was released ( 2008 ) it was all DX9. The cumulus cloud from FEX in my screenshot is a very nice one which I will use a lot. As I am waiting for the REX hotfix I manually copied a better looking DX11 sun into P3D ( had the default sun after upgrading ) and it is working fine... 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

March 15, 201610 yr So is FEX still DX9 only today? gb. Clouds textures are DX less...( it doesn't matter which version of DX )Sun textures can use DX10 / DX11 features.

March 15, 201610 yr Since the recent, unfortunate, problem with RTD+Softies, I have lost my low-level clouds. All however is not doom and gloom! This is an epiphany! Is this how the rest of World flies? Visibilty beyond 10 metres (and a flock of grounded Gulls taking bets on whether or not you return in one piece)? Clear blues with fluffy, wispy bits at fl300? No wonder Rob and Froogle abandoned the UK for somewhere more 'Foreign'!! Where's my Passport? Stupidly expensive rig, nonplussed Memsahib, disinterested offspring and a fascinated cat as Rio. XP11, P3Dv3 and an Oculus Rift.

Is this how the rest of World flies? Clear blues with fluffy, wispy bits at fl300? No wonder Rob and Froogle abandoned the UK for somewhere more 'Foreign'!! Where's my Passport? lol, you're enjoying the lack of clouds more than I am. It's been overcast, misty, and gloomy here in NEUSA the past couple days but I get lots of blue sky with ASN. That said, does anyone know which files are affected by the problem? I've cleaned out the shaders several times to no avail. Also made some other unorthodox moves to restore things, but alas, no low/mid-level clouds.

March 15, 201610 yr Gee you're right, I'm flying directly into the sun over northern Maine...off to find my aviators!

So for a cmplete ignorant, could you explain to a noob what I would have to install? I have just installed a brand new system, only the sim + obx ftx global + vector + OLC. Should I get the latest full installer and then this hotfix, or am I missing a service pack in the middle or something?
