REX Question

[Tyler012]

I've got a question for my friends who also use REX.

Do you use the Weather Avoidance tool? And if so do you run FSX/FS9 in a window?  If not, how do you view the WAsys without minimizing the flight sim?

This is an excellent question.    As a recent purchaser of REX,( been avoiding it, but now I'm glad I did), this question forced me to read the REX manual pages in regards the WAsys. Although the REX weather engine provided me with one of the most exhilarating VFR flights I've experienced to date, the GUI, manual guide, and forums are Archean at best!

I sometimes use the WaSys, especially during long-hauls as a neat little tool to see where I am and whats the weather looking around me.  I don't depend on it though, and I usually have it up as just something to look at.

I have two monitors, so when I feel like using my 2nd screen, I would go into window mode with FSX, maximize that window, autohide my windows task bar (that way the sim is almost as good as running fullscreen), and have the WaSys somewhere on my second monitor.  Seems to work best this way. 

There is no other way that I know of to view WAsys without either minimizing flight sim or hitting alt+enter and going into windowed mode.
