Classic British Flight Sim

Copy of an email I have just received:

'Dear REX Customer -

You are personally invited to join us for a Major "Unveiling" of a new product this Saturday, October 29th at 19Z (11am PDT).

You may watch the unveiling of our new product at: https://www.twitch.tv/adxlive

This new product will revolutionize your experience within Microsoft's Flight Simulator X, FSX:Steam and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D.

We look forward to seeing you there.'

Who knows?

Pretty sure it's the official announcement of their new HD Airport Texture project that they previewed at FlightSim Con.

All the best to Rex, but I've lost track of their weather/cloud/texture products. I have Rex-something with Overdrive and HD, and then I've got Soft Clouds, which I think might or might not have a bearing on Overdrive textures. One might be installed and has overwritten the other, or they might be separate. Or both. And then there is Weather Architect which has, apparently, an Intellectually Synced Texture Engine . No doubt it's 'robust' too.

I love the blokes at Rex, and from my own experience their customer service is peerless, but their product range has left me somewhat confused over time. These days I just run Opus weather engine, and whatever cloud textures it comes up with is fine by me. I don't argue.

Hey, Nev!
What are the chances?
I received a personal invitation, too!

Like Paul, I have numerous Rex add-ons, and I'm just as confused as he is about what, if any, are improving my experience.
I did watch the previous showing, as the gizmo was off air, and it was about super clouds; for some peculiar reason, the first two minutes were the heading page, then the final 90seconds or so were about the product, but I don't recall what that product was, or whether they even mentioned the name.

Now that's just reminded me, I bought REX 3D just before coming off the internet and have never updated, should I do this when I am back on the internet or is there likely to be any problems after not having done so for such a long time?

Regards
Nigel.

Morning Nigel

Might be easiest to just download the latest installer(s) of whatever you have from their web site.

Morning Colin

Many thanks will give that a go.

Nigel.
