Well instead of waiting for the REX 2 + OD update, I uninstalled it and installed REX Essentials from scratch.  So far I love it, but still have some tweaking to do.  Here are some preliminary shots messing with random weather and different themes.

Thanks for looking Smiley

Looks interesting. From what i can see, seems more natural than 'normal' REX.  It blends a whole lot better with the horizon. Very nice  Smiley

Thanks guys...it is definitely more natural.  I haven't had a chance to really get into it, but it also injects the weather much cleaner and faster than before, loads new themes faster, and has the wx engine built into the Rex core software.  That had me stumped for a bit because it wouldn't start without Rex being open and I couldn't find the wx engine .exe to manually add on startup of fsx.

Yes...if you have Rex 2 without OD installed there is an upgrade.  If you have REX + OD you have to uninstall and install REXe from scratch or wait until they issue the upgrade file for REX+OD.

Regardless if youre a Rex customer you get it for free  Smiley check their site out for all the details.

Hi Mike... Smiley

That is all I have also.

I purchased my REX2 from the Flight Sim Pilot Shop in Florida with several aircraft addons.

I logged onto their site and do not see anything about an update to REX2.

How will the REX site know we have purchased this product?

Good question. I'm frying my brain trying to find the free link and nothing. It keeps wanting me to buy it and sends me to the purchase page. Not cool. Still hunting.....

There is an REX Overdrive too Shocked. I think I found a link for it in their community forums for download. Also free. I wonder if there is a way to get it from turning my REX on and if there is some sort of linkage there to update all of it to the latest and greatest.

There is also this..

A bunch of other free stuff I gotta add Tongue

Still looking. Don't understand why it wants me to buy when I already own it. Just can't seem to find the link to get to the free download. The wife will kill me if i buy it again Grin



Mike

EDIT...Rather than post another thread, I went to their site,did some digging in the forums and registered with them. As far as I can tell there is a thread where you give them you ORDER NUMBER not REG KEY for verification of REX ownership. Then you must "hurry up and wait" to get verified followed by what I hope is the link I seek for download. I also asked in my post if I should get Overdrive or will Essential overwrite it. Once I get my link I intend to get it and the free stuff from link posted above at the same time to get 100% up to snuff. I'll keep you posted Doug Wink

If you bought through the FSS you can go to your order and the download link will be for essentials now.  Thats how I downloaded it.  But Mike you're right you have to register and get verified for anything through REXs site.

Good morning all... Smiley

I bought my REX2 in March from Flight Sim Pilot Shop in Florida (I think) and just looked up my order and do not see anything about upgrades.

I do not see anything on their websight about REX Essential at all.

Register with their community forums first. Click my link below. Once you register and sign on there is a general discussion tab. Click it then go to the order verification thread. In your forum account put your order number in your signiture. In your post,tell em your order number again and where you got your boxed version. Then "hurry up and wait". I did all of this around 2 yesterday afternoon and didn't get verified till this morning. You'll be able to tell your verified as it will pop up under your avatar in their forums. I found my download link finaly the hard way after being verified but apparently i could of gone to the flightsimstore after verification,found my order,and the free link would be there for download. The easiest way would be for me to link it but it is forbidden. Mine is loading now but i'm still not 100% its what I should of downloaded. I'll see here shortly....


Mike

EDIT.....Glad I checked my flightsimstore account. I was downloading the wrong thing. I got the real deal now. I guess after verification they send an email to the store site to add the free upgrade link. Hope to shoot some new pics with it soon Wink
