Sorry bout that Stevefromio, you sounded like ..... - something, LOL! Yep, the fear of death, big, big taboo, uhuhuuuuu... :( I forgot, it´s a simulator, we can do what we want, also use it as a tool to overcome fear of flying, and maybe even fear of death?

Why don´t you send an email to Capt. Randazzo himself? http://www.precisionmanuals.com/ "Fear of death from flying"? Are you sure this is the right hobby for you? PS: I must admit that I never, ever fly THY again, they ARE the worst, and the RW pilots here on Avsim - if they knew about the stuff going on there - would agree with me.

REX Texture Direct - Has the Jury Returned a Verdict?

Loading is instant, and that´s a positive, not all negative about it... @era66: It´s a standalone product, textures only, there will be a weather engine later AFAIK. Then again, like you mention: "It seems that REX Game Studios is unbundling the older REX Essential Overdrive into separate packages of REX4 Texture HD and the upcoming REX Weather HD" That´s exactly my thought too! New and clever business model maybe..? -
REX Texture Direct - Has the Jury Returned a Verdict?

I just don´t like the color, and it seems there´s no way to change it. Extreme tropical blue, I would call it, reminds me of a drink with a mix of Blue Bols! http://www.bolscocktails.com/bols-liqueur-range-detail.asp?ingredient_id=1 Why not rename the textures to "Tropical Blue Bols", LOL.. :Party: -

Nice looking, Mephic, but what about the water, you like the water? -

Stivy, why not have two FSX installs, one with GEX/UTX and the other with ORBX/FTX Global? -

Agree with JasonW, don´t like this totally unrealistic blue, really hurts the eyes. Guess it´s always "2 steps forwards and 1 back" with new things from REX? -

Water is too blue IMO, and as always when they release new stuff: 2 steps forward and 1 back! They should make it possible to blend colors. Back to FEX, again, that water and color is OK, and not 10 m. high waves you can see from FL330. -

JHolst replied to Spartan0536's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Maybe, but the FEX clouds and much more looks better IMO! -
Same with the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok, from Nonthaburi and up north, nothing. This product was released to fast, endless problems with it, and I don´t like the roads, awful zig-zag over the whole scenery. They need to make a config tool like with UTX, so people can choose what to show, but that´s probably very, very difficult to get, since JV has decided to know what´s best for us all, Amen...

You don´t need watercooling, get this one: http://www.thermalright.com/html/products/cpu_cooler/archon_sb-e_x2.html Might even be better than all these stupid "watercoolers" out there.. -

I recall correctly several years ago when my first build using a Core 2 duo X6800, an Asus Striker Extreme with an Nvidia Chipset back then, and a 8800GTX, singles HDD I believe that system scored about 7,000 to 8,000 on that benchmark." I don´t use or care about benchmarks with regards to FSX, it´s useless, only OCD people find some fun in that. How is the actual performance in FSX when you have loaded a flight and hit that start button, that´s the key, the secret, but people don´t want that apparently...

@flyer10: Is the Seagate Momentus X Hybrid an old HDD? I got off the "crazy wild update wagon" years ago, I use the sliders in FSX adjusting to my taste of smooth, stutterfree flying. Autogen is just a pain in the eyes, down to normal with that, plus several other tricks like reducing trees and ugly houses etc. I have awesome respect for NickN, but IMO he´s just turned sour, bitter and angry, and still want to keep an audience by making FSX install and tuning a kind of rocket science. It´s not, just adjust the settings to the capacity of your hardware, it´s very easy, they (Aces) made them sliders for a reason, right?
