Hi Tim, as I see you add the feature of an automatic weather update every 30min - this is cool indeed. Do I have to enable this feature somewhere or does it just happens if the REX app stays open in the background?

Cheers Tom

It's automatic, just leave REX open.

I discovered to things which shozld be changed.

1st - REX does not load the new metar in the bsckground - everytime when loading it popups in fornt of xplane - it better should stay in the background - not blocking the view - you never know...

2nd - after shutting down REX it stays active! I have to shut it with "process ending" in task manager (WIN7 64BIT)

Hi, Tom,

I have taken note of this too, and I'm sure the REX guys will look into it.

2nd - after shutting down REX it stays active! I have to shut it with "process ending" in task manager (WIN7 64BIT)

I am running the same operating system as you, and anytime I quit REX, it quits completely. Looking at the task manager, I see nothing about REX running at all.

...ok...

I am running the same operating system as you, and anytime I quite REX, it quits completely. Looking at the task manager, I see nothing about REX running at all.

....what shall I say - it is like this - maybe it is cause I do not have REX installed on my system partition, it is running from my xplane disk. but normally it should not matter...

Does anyone know when the mac version is coming out?

I had heard of this update, but I didn't find anything about it on the main website. It forced me into giving Google a go and I ended up here. I think you should announce the update on your website..

[timest]

It's been up at these locations since release:

http://realenvironmentxtreme.com    (homepage, under NEWS)

http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/news.html  (top entry)

http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/forum/index.php?board=31.0  (on our forum)

Hi Timest, do you think it would possible that you make a patch that REX stays in the backround when laoding next weather data during flight - it is quite annoying if the REX screen occurs while operting the plane in a critical flight phase.

Cheers Tom

Hi!

After installing SP1, REX refuses to save X-Plane location. When I select X-Plane folder (d:\x-plane) it says

"Please set the location of your X-Plane folder in the Configuration section."

My REX is installed at "d:\rex"

Tried to install SP2 with no luck, it says that REX isn't installed on my system. Any ideas?

Thanks.

edit: tried to uninstall and reinstall the whole REX, but same errors occours. Anyway, it's W7. Tried to install as administrator and user too.

Hi, there,

Can't say I can replicate this but will try and get more info on the situation for you.

Thanks.

Maybe it would be enough if I can set manually the path in the config file (rexxplane.exe.config) - if that's that

Mine contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
	<configSections>
	</configSections>
	<connectionStrings>
    	<add name="rexxplane.Properties.Settings.rexxplanedbConnectionString"
        	connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\rexxplanedb.mdb"
        	providerName="System.Data.OleDb" />
	</connectionStrings>
</configuration>

Also found log files in log dir. Attached. Maybe that helps too

Any news on this? I'm stuck at same clouds and sky colours

[Cameron]

Hey, there,

Just as a test...can you try installing this on your C:\ drive?

[ksgy]

Tried that.

The default location under Program Files and c:\rex too. Same error.

Does it make any registry settings? Maybe something stuck there...?

Hi, there,

I wish I could provide a more solid solution, but I think this one is for the developers of the product at this point.

Please utilize the REX forum on their website at: http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/

A shot in the dark here, did you put the "patches" in the directory where REX is installed, then run the patches?

No, but I'll try that out! Thanks!

Here's what it says on the REX forums about installing the Service Pack 2

The Service Pack 2 update for REXPlane is now available.

To install service pack 2 you must place the exe file into the main folder where you installed REX. Make sure REX is not running when you run the patch. For Windows Vista and W7 users, please be sure to right-click the installer and select "Run as Administrator".

Hope this helps!

Service Pack 3 you just extract to desktop and run.
