These are ok but the last image is odd....










The reflective texutre in the water I think is from the stars to some degree. It looks like a thin layer of grey film and little puffy white patches that dance across it. I don't know much about the full power of this new flight environment but i'm guessing i'll be able to get rid of that some how? Well if anything I hoped you enjoyed the sets. I think its working now I just have to play with it a bit. If I have any other tech questions about REX I will submit them in payware. Thanks for checking on me

Shot 3 is meant to show how starie the sky is but I don't think you can really tell from this shot. Should of left it out...

Great shots mike! And glad to see you're working with REX now! Yes, like FSX, REX takes a little settings fiddling to make it fuction well on your system. One big piece of advice is, skip all that texture loading time by making your own theme (experiment with texture combinations to see what looks best) and then disable those decided-on textures from reloading in the Options tab. I'm set with things like taxiways, runways, lights and Sun effects, and especially tropical water/coral (they seem to take ages to "colorize"). Then the only options I exchange regularly are Sky colors, Clouds, and Water textures. Really saves time on loading textures.

as for the blurry shorelines, I used to get that with default water, so usually had it disabled, but I found that some water schemes don't seem to make that 'floating shore' effect anymore. I believe I also saw some improvement with water textures when I added this to my fsx.cfg:

(under [GRAPHICS])

ALLOW_SHADER_30=1

This will make FSX Shader 3 compatible, which I believe REX uses. (someone much brighter and 'in-the-know' than I am will probably blow me out of the water on this...)

First shot is pretty cool. nice.

Well done Mike...looking good...

Still have not downloaded FSX yet...
Been waiting almost three weeks now for that sound card to get here from Florida.

I think they are walking it here...

The colors are awesome in the first two 8-) 8-)

Your water does look strange though........ :-/
