dwf2008 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 So I have REX with overdrive installed and running. Will the addition of ORBX Global Base be a worthwhile enhancement, or is it just a replacement for REX which I have already spent money on?

Speedbird ATC Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 ORBX does something COMPLETELY different then REX. REX replaces weather textures, ORBX replaces ground textures and landclass Intel i7 fourth gen (3.5ghz) 16GB RAM EVGA GTX660 Windows 10 64bit Pro edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from a few airport textures, they are completely dissimilar products. One is sky and weather, the other ground and autogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 They are different products which do different things. ORBX Global is ground textures. REX is environment textures and weather.

nelsond Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Check out the Orbx web site. I read somewhere they are compatible and are encouraged to use both. It's a frequently asked question. I have REX and I'm using the freeware northwest US. No problems here. The scenery is awesome. As soon as I get over the sticker shock $ I'm going to start buying. Used it for weeks now, nothing but good to say about it. http://www.fullterrain.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like you might benefit from reading Orbx`s scenery guide. There are several categories of products you might look to for enhancing your sim. Sky (weather, cloud textures, water, and some cases airport textures) Ground Textures (like Orbx Global, all related to surface detail) Ground Vector (anything linear, coastlines, power lines, coastlines, rivers, lakes, accurate real world representations, like UTX) Airports (specific custom build of individual airports) Landclass (detailed coding for specifying which land texture should be displayed) Regional Sceneries (large areas of custom build ground scenery, textures, hand (computer) drawn polygons reflecting a greater accurate display of a large area) Objects (custom build individual objects, and autogen replacements, like Orbx HD Trees, Zinertek default airport texture package.). Lots of stuff to spend your money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
