Classic British Flight Sim

Someone told me they were doing a FS9 version as well, those shots do look good Tony. Interesting to see you get better FRas well, I would have thought it was a crippler.. I use Ground Enviroment and Active sky and with max settings i.e. clouds and real weather it can drop FR on FS9 a lot. Wonder if this would be better, I guess it would replace GE and AS6.5??

I'm not totally convinced yet. To be honest I think the water and clouds are better in FEX, but obviously it doesn't have the weather engine. Even the screenshots for ASX and their GraphicX product look very good too. I would love to see a comparison of the different products.

Ben,

My recent pictures posted in the gallery were taken using Active Sky & X Graphics in FSX.

Cheers Mate.

To my mind that looks much better. I might have to have a dabble

Hmmm....just noted that the price of REX has snuck up to 60 dollars..????

I paid 40 dollars on release...is it normal for companies to hike the prices like that...?

It didn't say it was on special or anything...

Tony

I don't think the price has changed, you probably have the currency set to Australian dollars instead of US ones. It's $40 US, $60 Aus or £27. If it had been released a few months ago it would have been £20 and I'd have bought it without a second thought, that's exchange rates for you.

I guess they had a big demand for it so priced accordingly :-(

Hi...

Got this package too but I already uninstalled it!
Not because I don't like it but it makes my FSX crash to a black screen time after time!
I am flying for about one minute in a perfect scenery and fantastic clouds and then my FSX "minimizes and I get stuck with a black screen.
FSX is still running but I cannot maximize it again, I only see the black screen.
Only way to restart FSX after such a crash is a hard reset of my system.
If you look at the REX support forum, then you can see that a lot of people have a lot of trouble with this package.
It's not that I don't like it, it's great but I won't re-install before they have fixed the load of bugs that seems to be in the software.

Grtz.

Hi Johan....what OS do you use and what CPU and graphics card...? and memory... :think:

Tony

Hi Tony...

In my honest opnion a system that must be capable of running REX without problems...
I run FSX with all service packs and Acceleration Pack in a 1600x1200 32 bits resolution with framerates above 30.
After uninstalling REX it runs like hell again without any black screens.

Grtz.
