Classic British Flight Sim

Just to let everyone know; Rex has released big updates to both Rex Essentials+Overdrive and Rex 4 in the last few days. Everything can be downloaded at their forum:

http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/forums/

I'm looking to see if the Essentials+OD update has done something with P3DV2 water textures.

Just a quick follow up - Ive installed the service pack and hotfix for Rex Essentials+Overdrive, and can no longer select any textures. Yet another head-in-hands flight sim moment. I've never indulged in any hobby or interest that is so bloody labour intensive as this one.

Awaiting support at the Rex forum and off to read a book.

Oh dear.. I'll hang on a while then. Not got Rex installed at the mo and if I try to fly the new Nemeth Bk117 in rain.. the windows go blue so I've time on my hands

Between this and golf. I must be a serious masochist.

Golf? Golf is easy ! If golf was a flight simulator, you'd get all the way to the 18th, only to find the ball diameter and the size of the hole were incompatible.

Tim Fuchs at REX reckons I might have installed the update incorrectly, though they are still looking into it. I used the update's uninstaller once because the build number didn't change after installation, so I thought I'd try again. Trouble is, it looks like the uninstaller uninstalled a lot more than the update. I think I might take up golf.

In a moment of boredom, I installed Rex E+ OD last night with a view to updating it. An odd thing about Rex is that I've had emails off them for ages but can't remember ever registering on their forum. In fact.. I'm sure I got emails off them even before I'd bought Rex Tried getting on the forum to get the updates and it said my username was in use but didn't recognise my password. Fair enough.. perhaps there are 2 of me and/or I didn't actually register so.. I tried to register and got a message that my email was already in use Plan C!
I plonked my username in then selected 'forgot my password'. Got an email by return then another with a new password. I logged in using the new password.. fine. However.. it says I don't have access to any of the forums Think I'll leave well alone

Checking back.. I really did get emails off them a long time before I bought Rex and I've absolutely no idea why this should be other than at some point, my email has been hacked and someone has been using it. Think I may take up golf too Paul

Dave, I think you need another password for the forums and therefore you need to register again. I have one for restoring my settings and another for forums.

Could find any other way of doing it.

Hiya Nev

That's the odd thing mate.. I've never registered my settings. Fear not.. should push come to shove, I'll contact support there

EDIT: I tried again tonight and got in ok. I guess access had to be confirmed by invoice number and place of purchase before one could peep inside

Just thought I'd tell that Reed Stough at REX has very kindly sorted me out with a new Rex Essentials +OD download, up to the latest build, and all now seems well. Thanks hugely to Reed and Tim Fuchs.

Now I can get in there.. I've no idea what patches/upgrades I need
