scottb613 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi Folks, Looking to take advantage of some of the sales while - finally - getting my feet wet with FSX and/or P3D... Probably been asked and answered - just looking for advice between FEX and REX... Honestly - I've never really been a fan of REX from the screenshots I've seen - the clouds seemed overly done with hard edges and the sky seemed a bit too blue... Now I see they have a new addition called Soft Clouds that may fix one of my gripes... I always used and liked FE in FS9 - but - REX seems to offer a better price now... I'm assuming g I need ASN to drive my skies properly... No textures with ASN now - right ? Thoughts ? Regards, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Folks, After a bunch of reading - looks like FEX doesn't work with P3D or the steam version of FSX... Looks like the sale is over with REX - missed it - ahh - maybe next year... Regards, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
