During the presentation they showed pictures from the exterior and interior and from what has been shown, we are all in for another big treat. Recently at the annual FS convention in Munich, Germany earlier in March, PMDG gave their presentation which included the anticipated 777-200/300 which they are currently developing. So go ahead and try it out! Visit to download your copy today! Its a great feature and REX essentials all around is a great product and is a must have for flight simulation enthusiasts. After you’ve read the weather you can click the “fly now” button and a weather tool will pop-up and implement itself into your flightsim where you can see radar, icing, storms etc around you. From there a page will open up where you can type in a ICAO code and the weather will appear in a user friendly format, giving you temperature, winds, winds aloft, PIREP reports, and TAFs. Most of us will use real world weather but its still a great addition to have.
The first thing you are subjected to when opening essentials weather section is a pop-up appears asking you if you’d like to use “real world weather”, “rex random weather themes”, or “use archived weather data”. And if you want to listen to a fellow simmer’s opinion, they’ve done just that!
One of the major improvements in Essentials is the fact that they have focused so much on weather this time around and it is clear that REX Studios is trying to leap frog Active Sky. Clouds, haze, ground textures, water etc….all of it has been improved in some way or another. Hi guys, so REX Essentials has finally been released to FSX! And my oh my is it great! Not only is it FREE for current REX 2 users but the whole package is a complete re-write.
