dmrich28 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 nice shot Maxter! Good luck with that trip..I got half way in Cessena's and such and got burnt out..I think doing it in a Cub would finish me off Keep us posted, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxter Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Early days yet Dave. I recon that pic really captures the enormity of the task ahead It's the huge variation in Australian sceneries around this part of the world that Orbx has captured so well that really keeps me going. That and recollections of real world car trips that I have done around many of those places keeps the interest up. Cheers and thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Scharnowski Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Godspeed! I flew around Australia with a Cessna once... with FS9 and VOZ! And even that wasn't boring at all!! There is infinitely more to see with FTX. You are gonna enjoy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timest Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hey nice shot man BUT, what in it is REX? I don't see anything from the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxter Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hey Tim, I have the little REX window app running in the background and I hit the Load WX button. I then get the loading REX weather banner appear in the sim so I assumed that it was loading whatever REX considered was the real weather at the time. Maybe I am doing something wrong and if that's so could someone please tell me how to do it properly? I love what REX 1.0 gave me previously, so I didn't hesitate to pick up and load 2.0... It was great. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timest Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Chris Ok, so you are using the REX weather engine, but I do not see any textures loaded from REX. A couple of things: When using the REX weather engine, go into FSX Settings/Display/Weather Tab, and under simulation settings, make certain the the "Rate at which weather changes over time" is set to NONE. In the Cloud Detail area, make sure that the Detailed Clouds option is selected. Also, if you want REX textures to appear, you need to actually load a theme from the THEME CREATION area. You have to actually click INSTALL. If you want Weather Related textures, then you have to go into the Realtime Weather area, and after selecting your ICAO, click the WX TEXTURES button, BUT make sure that FSX is closed, as you cannot load textures into FSX while open. Then enter your flight, and you should be good to go. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxter Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks mate, I wouldn't mind giving it a go one day. I sure could use some company for my leg across Bass Strait. I'm navigating only by dead reckoning Maybe we could organise a bit of a Cub squadron caravan across Which On-line method do you use?

maxter Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well I've just added another GTX260 to my existing one running them in SLI and I'm amazed to say the least. I'll post some new screenies soon. This is how FSX was meant to run in the first place without doubt, Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
