Now the REX product update page is stating (as of 8/16) that the enhanced version of REX Texture Direct with Soft Clouds will not be released until August 22.

I’d rather they take their time and get it right, than have hotfix after hotfix needed- no issue for me.

I downloaded the new enhanced texture direct. I originally bought these two separately  (td and soft clouds)

How does this work in the case of two separate installers. Maybe I missed this earlier. Will soft clouds have an "enhanced version" later as well, beyond the forthcoming joint enhanced?

I'd be curious on how they integrate as well. (And also how the enhanced rex is compared to as and envtex clouds)

Unsure I see how it integrates being as you have to pick predefined themes with rex vs Asca

ASCA Integration works fine with Rex 4 Enhanced 

I am at present testing Rex4 Enhanced with ASCA Dynamic mode activated and it works a treat  

 

The dynamic mode works but it does NOT switch the Rex clouds - it uses the static set that was installed - just like the other modes.

Indeed. Dynamic swapping of textures won't work. And I don't see that happening, since these are competing products...

Yes, however with ASv4’s market share, perhaps consideration could be given to compatibility.....?

Hi Vic

Being totally honest with you having now had a chance to test a few things I am favouring the ASCA cloud textures  ....... the Rex 4 cloud textures are sadly looking a bit 'cartoonish' ...

Therefore I am using Rex4 for sky textures which I think are far superior and the water/runway/weather sounds and runway lighting textures ......

Obviously there is more testing to be done but these are my initial feelings

That's the ideal situation Paul_ - we each perceive the clouds and sky etc differently and we develop preferences. Using the mix and match approach to get YOUR sim the way YOU like it is the only way to go.

Good info.. I'd also be curious how the sky/land textures compare to the latest EnvTex.

Could someone confirm the name of the new downloadable full version Enhanced TD zip file?
The FlightSim Store currently has: rextd_sp7_20170814.zip in my account, about 7.5 GB.
I'm not sure if this is the full version or the update.  ??
