Hi Stephane... Smiley

Trying to get REX Essentials Download but not successful yet.

However here are four shots.

FSX and Windows 7
REX2
FSWC...Flight Simulator Water Configurator
ORBX Scenery
Aero Files Texture Booster Pro
FSX Default Cessna 172
Frame Rate set at 30

Frame Rates are less than half of the setting...

Rain looked good on the Virtual Cockpit and Cockpit setting but terrible here.
...

Just a little lightning...no drop in Frame Rate from previous shot...
...

REX2 Turned Off for the next two shots
Not much difference in the Frame Rates with REX2 OFF
...


...

Comments and advice most welcome... Wink


 
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Hi Doug !

This is crazy... There is almost nothing in your screen, but your FPS crawl down to 13 anyways ??  Huh With the default C172 ?  Shocked
If it's not the clouds, then it has to be the water...
Please check your scenery settings Doug. What are they at the moment ?

Concerning the water, you wrote "2x", but which one ? 2x low, medium, high or max ?
Max shoud be avoided.
Also, keep the ground scenery shadow disabled.
Finally, 7cm for the ground textures is useless excepted on some OrbX airport. Keep that setting at 60 cm.

Sometimes REX clouds beat up my FPS..........not so much since I upgraded to Essentials Huh

Anyways......the last shot is pretty cool Cool
 
"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Okay...  I just have to mention, but, honestly, I'm not seeing much difference between having REX ona vs. having it off.

Excellent Shots! Cool Why should max be avoided? Doesn't it put cloud reflections and waves? Huh
 
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

I believe that Doug is turning the REX Weather Engine on and off. Not the actual textures. That's not possible mid flight Smiley

Indeed, REX sets the texture once for all. If REX is OFF, the clouds/sky/water textures are still there.

However, the REX weather engine works only if REX is ON, if I understood correctly.

So if you don't need to use the REX weather engine, you don't need to launch REX. Just launch FSX, your pretty textures will be there nevertheless Smiley
