Rex 4 Problem

Featured Replies

Mine is directed to c:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 in both instances...try browsing there manually....your folder looks incorrect.

 

What - this is where I load the program in the beginning - they are fine - yours is wrong if thats not your default directory when you first loaded P3D

Hi..my default directory is as I posted...probably just different installation locations...have you checked my earlier post about checking the install log in REX4?

Thanks Pete - I am not having any issues was helping Lamar - I use the short path for install a lot easier to deal with - hint hint - well aware of log - new member of REX beta team I better  :wink:

Hi Lamar,

               Yes I am also on win10  64. all my paths are correct & the install log indicates that the textures are indeed being installed into P3d v3, in my process log there seems to be some errors showing up, it is looking for Fsx which I don't have installed anywhere on my computer, The path for  asn& rex are correct  p3d v3.

Are you positive you have the correct folder location selected I would assume you do - are you using an older version that has many updates to a final rex product - I would re-download the installer from where you purchased it and you would avoid a lot of issues - other than that this is strange

Hi Rich,

           Yeah I totally uninstalled my original Rex & all the updates & went to the Fss & d/l the newest Rex installer package & I am using the administrator rights in both asn& rex. Still getting the same results=no textures, I noticed that lamar posted on the rex forum some screen shots & installation log. Will see what happens with that.I was having no problems about 2 to 3 weeks ago & then this!!

                                                                                                                                  Thanks

Sorry to hear that - not sure why its doing this - I will have to look around maybe there is a post on this problem

Hi, I think your cloud.fx has been corrupted by a faulty REX4 update.

You can fix it by downloading the default P3D3.2 cloud.fx file:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/05t68smuyy7s5v6/Cloud.fx

 

Copy it to Prepar3D v3\ShadersHLSL and overwrite.

 

Hopefully this will help you... (as it did for me)

Regards, Sebastian

 

Just to be clear Guys are you trying to inject themes or just going to main selection area and injecting - makes a difference - I have seen an issue with injecting themes - also just checked Lamars post and it does state in log its going to P3D directory which is correct but not if you use a theme - this is what I have encountered also

Rich Sennett

               

Hi  Sebastian,

                     Yep that did indeed fix the problem.As you said it was probably a corrupted cloud.fx file now I have my weather back. Thanks to all who helped out. I still have to install soft clouds so fingers crossed.

                                                                                                  Ron

Well so much for that, after the new cloud.fx file installed & I got my weather& clouds back I shut down P3dv3 later on , When I restarted p3d later  it reverted back to the old no texture loading again. I am going to d/l the cloud.fx file one more time & see what happens.There might be a corrupted weather file loading into asn from Rex I may have to uninstall/ reinstall one more time..

                                                                     Ron

 

okay it looks like there is a corrupted file being injected into asn from rex (I think) I installed Sebastion's new cloud file  started Rex again & voila I have weather, clouds etc..I shut down the sim, restarted went to Cottonwood Az where there is rain & clouds but I was getting wispy cirrus clouds with sunshine. I remember seeing an error in the process log so a reinstall may be forthccoming

There might be a corrupted weather file loading into asn from Rex I may have to uninstall/ reinstall one more time..

 

Confused  here  by  your statement as  far  as  I know rex4  doesn't  load  anything  into asn  at all

Hi Pete,

              Oops , I meant P3d{long day & night yesterday)talk about confused :wink:   Anyway I have a couple of things to try before I uninstall/install Rex. I am going to copy the original cloud.fx file into the sim, run P3d without activating Asn using p3d weather. I don't know if this will work but what the hell have to try something. I know Lamar is waiting to hear from Rex on his same problem

Can someone take a picture of what these cloud textures look like? I may have this problem

Hi Ron, I did just as you did. Installed the cloud fix and boom, I had clouds and rain at my airport. Shut it down and fired it up again and rain but blue sky? Don't know what is going on.  Still waiting on Rex support. I bet it does have something about the cloud file. Let me know and I am going to update Rex what we did.

Regards
