hang on, so your bashing REX and you say it looks awesome, but your against their marketing idea, when i see it as it was probably going to be out around when they first predicted, but then the 4096 res clouds came into play they had to be developed and a weather system and flight planner both of which seem some of the best. However beside all your bashing you still won't buy FEX even though it promises somethign similar and are pulling a similar stunt.
i think this thread has been hijacked
You're sharp J, razor sharp.
Not sure how FM can hijack his own thread though...
When I bought FEX there were no promises of a weather engine. I bought it as a set of improved textures. The weather engine was supposed to be a free extra, coming later. It wasn't a selling point.
But yeah... I'm sick to death of waiting for their weather engine too. The promised water update hasn't arrived either... but the cloud update is great!
Like I already said, if you've got money to spare, buy FEX and enjoy beautiful clouds and skies now. Who knows when REX will arrive - just be ready for the fact that it might come out tomorrow and you'll need to dig in your pocket again. I'd still say it was worth it though even then. You'll still be able to use FEX textures and themes, which will be no doubt updated to compete with REX - you'll have more variety than you can shake a stick at.
