I am really hope Avsim provides an objective review comparing FEX and Activesky/XGraphics. I think this will be very useful for all. I have to be honest that looking at the promos for these products I have difficulty figuring out the difference (with exception of the weather engine currently provided by Activesky X)Mark.

Well, that's a real drag. Purchased and installed but can't get past the silly registration screen. So I'm dead in the water. I visited the Flight 1 forum and apparently it's a big problem.I should learn to wait till the bugs get ironed out of these things before buying.Jim

They are working on it, check the Flight 1 forum frequently, it shouldnt be much longer. As soon as I hear anything, Ill also post here.

Not a big problem really.....they could have delayed another 24hrs but figured to release it with a small helpful post on simforums, and then release a new build tomorrow.

Whatever was causing the problem has been fixed now. As soon as my textures finish loading I'll be off on my maiden flight.Jim

Not on my end-I get an "unkown error" every time I try to register...http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpgForum Moderatorhttp://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

Apologies about this, there is currently an issue on the Flight1 server which is incorrectly registering keys as being 'used' when a coupon code is used.Flight1 are working hard to fix the issue.Warm regards,Chris Norris

Is there a performance hit with this product? Even a minor one? If so I need to wait until SP2(hopefully with no blurries) before I get it.

none here, it has options for resolution adjustments for just about any system

>Is there a performance hit with this product? Even a minor>one? If so I need to wait until SP2(hopefully with no>blurries) before I get it. None here also. And i can tell you one thing, this is IMPRESSIVE! Best clouds, lighting and reflexes i have ever seen. Go get it.

How about somebody post some new screen shots? I've seen all the ones at the FlightEnvironmentX website :)

This just made FSX frickin beautiful!!!!! And from what i can see there is NO FPS loss for me and possibly a increase in most situations. I am VERY impressed with the textures, i almost cried when i did a quick jog around St. Maarten. It is THAT much of a difference. Im not a FEX a really excited user, this addon has gone unnoticed by me until the last day or so, but i cant say enough for this product.If you want some serious visuals from your FSX, then by all means get this product.

Question before purchasing FEX.Does the current FEX release include a real-time weather engine that scans METAR data and sends it through SimConnect to FSX? (like ASX)If not I will stick with ASX and XGE for now, until the free update includes a real-time weather engine.

I have already installed FEX, but I get the same "unknown error occured" message upon registration process. If I close the registration window, FEX does not start!regards, harryFSXSP1 on VistaX64

not yet but it is coming...
