/images/notams/notams21/rex0331.jpgREX has announced that REX 5 - Sky Force 3D TechnicalUpdate 2.5 has been released. With this update Prepar3D v5 is now supported in addition to FSX, FSX Steam and earlier versions of P3D. Those who purchase REX Sky Force at the FlightSim.Com Store can updateby returning to the store and downloading the product from there accountagain. Visit the storehere. What Is Sky Force 3D?Sky Force 3D is a complete overhaul of the weather and environmentexperience while bringing dimension to FSX, FSX Steam, and Prepar3D. New 3D Cloud Models and Structures Created for Real-World Cloud ClassificationDynamic SynchronizationNew Cloud SDK (No more upside-down clouds or repeating cloud bottoms)Natural Photo-Based Environment TexturesNew Weather EngineIntegrated Flight CenterInteractive Mapping SystemBuilt-in PTA IntegrationInnovative Sky and Sun AtmosphericsNew Lightning EffectsNew HD Environment Sound EffectsAll Packaged in a 4.6GB Download, Expandable to Nearly 20GBAnd Much More... /images/notams/notams18/rex0102/rex1.jpgFeaturesNew 3D Cloud Models and Cloud Structures - The First In-Flight SimNew 3D cloud model structures and SDK, patterned after real-worldcloud classifications with their own specifications, positions andheights. Each of the 3000+ 3D cloud model structures were developed incomparison to their real-world counterpart. We have added NEW clouds types, including; altocumulus,stratocumulus, humilis, mediocris, congestus, tower cumulus,cumulonimbus calvus, supercell and rainshaft, tornado, stratus,nimbostratus, altostratus and cirrus class. Real-world cloud modelsystem including (but not limited to) cloud streets, super cells, wallclouds, funnel, shelf, rain shaft and tornadoes. Restructured cloud SDK for true formation realism. No moreupside-down clouds in bizarre and unrealistic positions, or cloudbases that are presented with repeating patterns. Single-session cloud texture variation, allowing more varietyduring a flight session, increasing the overall realism. The new cloud system models storm structures reaching 70,000feet. We also modeled the base of our storm clouds and added rainshafts to calvus and incus cumulonimbus clouds of various intensities,adding to the realism. Also included are wall and shelf clouds, and insome circumstances, these will include funnel clouds and tornadoes ofvarious shapes and sizes. /images/notams/notams18/rex0102/rex2.jpgReal-Time Weather EngineIntelligent weather engine that harnesses over 70,000 points ofweather data globally. The weather engine reads and interprets livemodel data to sample the atmosphere and therefore will sync theappropriate clouds structures, allowing for more accuracy. Utilizingthe weather engine is as simple as opening REX Sky Force and thesimulator. That's it, everything is done automatically without thefuss! NEW Photo-Based Natural Environment Textures and Innovative SkyAtmospheric Effects (20GB)Fully DX9, DX10 and DX11 compliant. Tailored to low AND high-end systems. Elevate this new visual experience through our new natural,photo-based environment textures while exploiting the power of PTAintegration. New techniques create a smoother, realistic and natural sky colorblending at dawn and dusk as well as newly improved visibility andfog. With VBlend and Vaporous Skies, we have achieved more realistichorizontal and vertical day, dawn and dusk fog generation and skyvisibility blending. The sun atmospheric rendering effects are very cinematic and willbe noticeable through the virtual cockpit, creating even morerealism. Sun atmospheric rendering coupled with HDR elements includedfor use in Prepar3D 3 and 4. Full 10-Day Cycle Sky Texture SetsIncluded is our powerful 10-day cycle sky textures category. Whenthe Sky Force 3D 10-Day Cycle is installed, the simulator willdynamically load a different sky color transition from sunrise throughsunset each day. /images/notams/notams18/rex0102/rex3.jpgLightning Fast Texture InstallationInstalling textures into the simulator is lightning fast; in mostinstances this process takes less than 1 second to load a full suiteof replacement textures! Ability to select and install texturesindividually and/or create custom 'themes' to install a full suite oftextures instantly. PTA Presets Built-InThe PTA presets included in Sky Force 3D were specifically designedfor use with the sky textures and atmospheric effects in Sky Force3D. The Prepar3D Tweak Assistant (PTA) is required for use with ourpresets. Included are sample videos within the application showing exactlywhat the PTA preset/texture combinations look like in Prepar3D. Wehave taken the guess work out of the equation, and presented you witha full atmospheric representation ranging from sunrise throughsunset.

Precipitation Overlay - Just like the weather syncs systems of today; you can view all the locations of precipitation. Our precipitation does not look like speckled paint spats, but true radar echoes. This overlay is viewable with all other overlays.Winds Overlay - 9 levels of wind from 3,000 to 53,000 feet can be viewed in this overlay so that you can make smarter decisions for better fuel consumption.Temps Overlay - 9 levels of temperatures from 3,000 to 53,000 feet help you avoid potential areas and levels of icing and rime.Pireps Overlay - This overlay lets you read position and data from real-life pilots across the world.Sigmets Overlay - This overlay provides not only US-based but global sigmet data in real-time.Metar Overlay - Utilizing that fact that our servers download the local weather data 6 times an hour gives you the most accurate view of the local weather.Flight Plan Overlay - If you import a flight plan into the Sky Force Flight Center, then a visual view of the flight plan is available.Major Airport Overlay - This map overlay provides a vital point of reference to help you as you fly.Major Road Overlay - To give more detail and help especially to the pilots who like to fly VFR, we provide a significant road overlay to follow.Zoom Feature - Allows you to zoom into the local level and zoom out to the regional level.Precip Opacity - Allows you to reduce the prominence of the precipitation echoes on the various map for simple reading.Shared Community Environmental ThemesFeeling uninspired and just want to try something new? Filterthrough various uploaded environment themes to try out. For ease, wehave provided the means for many of these themes to be categorizedbased on several weather conditions. All environmental texture themesare categorized based on how a user thinks the theme appears in thesimulator, such as fair, foggy, rainy and snowy weather, dust andthunderstorms etc. REX Sky Force continues to expand the tradition of providing aconnected "Shared Community" within its products. Similarly, to ourShared Community Flight Plans, you can also share your environmentcreations within the program! After you create an Environment Theme, you have the option to useour REX EDGE servers to pass on your theme to the rest of the REX SkyForce community.

/images/notams/notams18/rex0102/rex0201.jpgWhat Is Sky Force 3D?Sky Force 3D is a complete overhaul of the weather and environmentexperience while bringing dimension to FSX, FSX Steam, and Prepar3Dv1, 2, 3 and 4. New 3D Cloud Models and Structures Created for Real-World Cloud ClassificationDynamic SynchronizationNew Cloud SDK (No more upside-down clouds or repeating cloud bottoms)Natural Photo-Based Environment TexturesNew Weather EngineIntegrated Flight CenterInteractive Mapping SystemBuilt-in PTA IntegrationInnovative Sky and Sun AtmosphericsNew Lightning EffectsNew HD Environment Sound EffectsAll Packaged in a 4.6GB Download, Expandable to Nearly 20GBAnd Much More... /images/notams/notams18/rex0102/rex1.jpgFeaturesNew 3D Cloud Models and Cloud Structures - The First In-Flight SimNew 3D cloud model structures and SDK, patterned after real-worldcloud classifications with their own specifications, positions andheights. Each of the 3000+ 3D cloud model structures were developed incomparison to their real-world counterpart. We have added NEW clouds types, including; altocumulus,stratocumulus, humilis, mediocris, congestus, tower cumulus,cumulonimbus calvus, supercell and rainshaft, tornado, stratus,nimbostratus, altostratus and cirrus class. Real-world cloud modelsystem including (but not limited to) cloud streets, super cells, wallclouds, funnel, shelf, rain shaft and tornadoes. Restructured cloud SDK for true formation realism. No moreupside-down clouds in bizarre and unrealistic positions, or cloudbases that are presented with repeating patterns. Single-session cloud texture variation, allowing more varietyduring a flight session, increasing the overall realism. The new cloud system models storm structures reaching 70,000feet. We also modeled the base of our storm clouds and added rainshafts to calvus and incus cumulonimbus clouds of various intensities,adding to the realism. Also included are wall and shelf clouds, and insome circumstances, these will include funnel clouds and tornadoes ofvarious shapes and sizes. /images/notams/notams18/rex0102/rex2.jpgReal-Time Weather EngineIntelligent weather engine that harnesses over 70,000 points ofweather data globally. The weather engine reads and interprets livemodel data to sample the atmosphere and therefore will sync theappropriate clouds structures, allowing for more accuracy. Utilizingthe weather engine is as simple as opening REX Sky Force and thesimulator. That's it, everything is done automatically without thefuss! NEW Photo-Based Natural Environment Textures and Innovative SkyAtmospheric Effects (20GB)Fully DX9, DX10 and DX11 compliant. Tailored to low AND high-end systems. Elevate this new visual experience through our new natural,photo-based environment textures while exploiting the power of PTAintegration. New techniques create a smoother, realistic and natural sky colorblending at dawn and dusk as well as newly improved visibility andfog. With VBlend and Vaporous Skies, we have achieved more realistichorizontal and vertical day, dawn and dusk fog generation and skyvisibility blending. The sun atmospheric rendering effects are very cinematic and willbe noticeable through the virtual cockpit, creating even morerealism. Sun atmospheric rendering coupled with HDR elements includedfor use in Prepar3D 3 and 4. Full 10-Day Cycle Sky Texture SetsIncluded is our powerful 10-day cycle sky textures category. Whenthe Sky Force 3D 10-Day Cycle is installed, the simulator willdynamically load a different sky color transition from sunrise throughsunset each day. /images/notams/notams18/rex0102/rex3.jpgLightning Fast Texture InstallationInstalling textures into the simulator is lightning fast; in mostinstances this process takes less than 1 second to load a full suiteof replacement textures! Ability to select and install texturesindividually and/or create custom 'themes' to install a full suite oftextures instantly. PTA Presets Built-InThe PTA presets included in Sky Force 3D were specifically designedfor use with the sky textures and atmospheric effects in Sky Force3D. The Prepar3D Tweak Assistant (PTA) is required for use with ourpresets. Included are sample videos within the application showing exactlywhat the PTA preset/texture combinations look like in Prepar3D. Wehave taken the guess work out of the equation, and presented you witha full atmospheric representation ranging from sunrise throughsunset. Simplicity!We went through great lengths to maintain ease-of-use for ourcustomers throughout the entire Sky Force 3D GUI experience. PTAintegration is a one-click install and all supporting textures, aswell as the PTA preset are installed automatically.
