Take my tip...
If you decide to purchase anything from Flight 1; REX/GE PRO/FS Panel Studio, etc...
Get the CD Version, and NOT the download!
I am presently having serious problems with them, in trying, and failing, to re-install my previous "Downloaded" and purchased programs from them...REX, GE Pro, and FS Panel Studio!
The money I spent on them is now wasted, as I cannot re-install the programs on my new Hard Drive...(or after a computer crash).
The re-installation and verification download process is a nightmare that no-one should be forced to experience!

REX has nothing to do with Flight 1
(At least, last I remembered, I thought they were competitors).
REX costs roughly about $50, depending on where you go to purchase it. Is it worth it? I would think so. It gives you a lot of flexibility to customize your clouds, airport environments, and water. In addition to that, it comes with a weather engine, that seems to really puff the clouds up and make them seem considerably more real than what you would get by default.
If I have had any reservations about REX, it would be that I probably could have found some nice free alternatives for all the textures that REX gives me had I looked hard enough for them. It takes a bit of time for REX to inject textures into FSX/FS9, which, for me, makes it a bit of a hassle to change my texture themes. For both the FSX and FS9 versions of REX, I've only really used a few select textures and rarely had the cause or motivation to try out different themes. Added to that, REX takes up a considerable amount of hard disk space, which, while is hardly a concern on modern hard drives, may still be an issue.
I find getting CD versions is a good way to go as Fozzer has suggested--given that so many Flightsim addons are DRM'ed these days to absurdity, which causes issues in reinstallation. Believe me, Fozzer, I've been there too, and I do recall at least one of the products I had trouble with being Flight1. When looking for a CD Version, be sure its from a reliable distributor. I've had lost orders from some of the less reliable before, and it isn't worth the time and effort to deal with them. I kind of wish payware developers can just make do without DRM on their products these days. It doesn't stop whatever pirating or copyright infringements out there, and it also makes me less motivated to buy.
Cheers,
RB

My copies of REX, GE Pro, and FS Panel Studio, were all downloaded and purchased from Flight1, as the distributor.
The nightmare occurs when trying to re-install them on a new Hard Drive and/or a new Operating system, where the original purchase details are no longer stored on the computer, only a paper record of all the details for future use.
The impossibly complex process of re-installation and verification of any, or all, of the programs, (for security reasons?), on a new computer, or upgrade to an existing computer/Laptop, etc, should not to be experienced by the unwary....
...trust me...
Been there, still suffering it!
Purchase the Compact Disc/DVD version of the program for installation/re-installation, and wait for delivery!

I got REX from the Flight Sim Store for $43.20 AUD/$42.92 USD. Whether it is worth it depends on your value of vastly improved water, clouds, and sky. For me, it was worth it, as was GEX and UTX. However, before you
go and buy GEX and UTX for everywhere, consider this. I bought GEX and UTX for the US, but only got UTX for Europe. I think that GEX may be spilling over, as Europe looks as good to me with just UTX as the US does with
both GEX and UTX. But neither look as good as the Pacific Northwest areas covered by ORBX FTX PNW and PFJ. However, there are at least two freeware programs that will do almost as good as REX, one is for clouds, one
for water. Sorry, I can't remember the file names right now, but I think both are on the SimV server.
If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

The freeware patchz mentioned are the following:
For water:
http://simviation.com/1/download?file=2FSWC_315.zip
For clouds:
http://simviation.com/1/download?file=HDE_1.0.zip
This does work in FSX,just don't use the ground textures.
Maybe I'm wrong for assuming,but I believe these are the freeware programs here at SimV he mentioned.
Maybe he can verify these to be correct.
The mind is like a parachute...it only works when it's open.

Yep, those are the ones. Thanks jime.
