Dooga Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi all, I need a bit of advice on REX stuff - hope no one minds me asking in this forum, I feel more at home here than at AVSIM etc. The situation: I really like what I'm seeing of REX Soft Clouds, will buy it soon I guess. But I am currently running REX 2 - which does Clouds, Sky, Sun, Water, Waves and Runway/Taxiway improvements. I use the FSX Water Configurator, almost exclusively fly to/from addon airports, and REX Soft Clouds will take care of the clouds. The question: Do you guys think it's worth keeping REX2 next to Soft Clouds, for Waves, Sky and Sun? Or just lose it entirely? If it's worth keeping, anything to be aware about when running both side-by-side (deactivate cloud enhancements in REX2 first, for example)? Thanks for any thoughts!

Ziggy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I would keep it, any REX product is pretty awesome! Soft clouds should work just fine with whatever REX product you have. Hope this helps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have Essentials, Texture Direct, and Soft Clouds all working together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have Essentials, Texture Direct, and Soft Clouds all working together. +1, as do I. No issues and it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Abdey Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yeah, keep them both, and untick the 'Low Level' clouds in REX2 when changing textures to keep the soft version. I have REX Ess+ OD - REX4 and Soft Clouds and would not be without any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look really, really good and are a vast improvement for the clouds. On my machine, they also improved my framerate when flying in heavy cloudcover.

Dooga Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks guys! Will get them as soon as I'm back in an aeroplane after my current Elite:Dangerous phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 What does Soft Clouds have that REX4 doesn't? REX4 has plenty of cloud images to choose from, so why get another? Just spent $$$ on Orbx sceneries and a new computer....just askin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
