REX do offer some freeware... Taxiways, the sea, grass and roads, are all freeware from their website.

Thanks for that David, I didn't know that was out there
And thanks for uploading it here

Also, ENB bloom for FSX: http://www.mediafire.com/?jq0ouyd0mnj
Just download (there will be two items, a DLL file and A Cfg. file) drop them both in your main FSX folder and you're set
You can edit the Cfg. file if it causes any performance problems but, I didn't notice any.
And, there's a program called Nick Needham and Paul Wheeler's sun mod (there'e an option for using bloom) but, I can't find a link for it anymore :-?
Anybody?

hi man can you tell me please how can i add the clouds to fsx?

[CHUCK79]

There should be two folders for the clouds, Cirrus and Cumulus. The cirrus and cumulus textures (the bitmap images inside the folders) go in the "FSX/Texture folder". Make sure to back up your originals! Also, the "Envmap" texture goes in this folder. Back up original! Then there's the Ground Texture folder. Inside this folder you should find the "detail_1" texture. This goes in the "FSX/Scenery/World/Texture" folder. Back up original!
I haven't installed the sky color update yet so, can't help you there.
Hope this helps

There are other downloads that you'll probably be interested in there too
