Ok, so the REXPlane inundation has started. Geeze the Jav comes up well in this. Rollon CRJ, so to speak! Edit: no, it was sheer luck that the strobe went in time to the music :-) Simon

Beautiful, quite realistic looking too, with those rexclouds. Someone needs to train us on nosegear touchdown, that's so hard to judge on heavies

Thanks for posting those x737 shots Mdmx, great! Yeuck, default clouds though (I'm now a Rex snob :-)). So, did you get the all u can eat liver meal? If so, please post some of the worst and best liveries!

Thanks for the update Goran. So, how many days til SUNDOWNER?

Wow, cool! A giant pram with wings! Finally, I don't need to take melbournes crap trains to work!

yeah, plenty of uglier fish in the sea. Sundowner's quaint and full of 'character', like the Datsun Sunny :-) I just googled 'ugly ga' and got this shocker. Don't give theo any ideas!

rubbing it in eh Goran! That thumbnail looks like a real photo.

Nice comparo Lis!

Hi Goran, I'd like to join in the congratulations too, can't wait for Cameron to return... (Paris?). You were right about big surprises ahead, look at this week! Oh, and congrats in advance to Theo as well, can't wait to see those grubby switches up verrry close

Here it is, a whole new dimension to XP. A good demonstration of wake turbulence at the end, sorry Tom! And the sunset one, featuring Tom's MU-2. Still can't believe he's gonna improve it, now even more beautiful in the sunset

Ooh yeah, very happy. You'll be too ;D

Well Guys,CONGRATULATIONS!! I bought REX from XA this morning, and was really impressed - very similar to what I remember REX was like in FSX, only quicker and easier to use, and the install pack worked a treat. I've already done 2 videos, the first is just up now but crappy quality, but should be good within half an hour: I CAN CONFIRM, IT'S AMAZING, LITTLE FPS HIT AND ADDS A WHOLE DIMENSION. PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AT START OF VIDEO... Enjoy, there's some usual Simon humour at the end...Sorry Tom K! Will post to the vid page when I'm happy with quality.

No worries Kamil, that's ok. I understand your position. Especially when you see my next post...

cool, so it's a getter?

oh god I need to sleep! I'll ask Heinz, but I did have max storm settings and turb. Those wings are very rigid, so I assume it's caused by extra air from the sudden drop. I'll finish my aeronautical engineering degree in the morning! Good luck with REX, tell us your impressions!

ha, isn't this ironic. You guys'll see this before everyone at the org probably. Just been given the go ahead to make public. My first video of a plane in development, so cool to have access and see improvements daily. And yes I'm demanding more improvements myself! Yes the systems are simpler, but in the flesh she is very imposing and graceful. Those engines! Enjoy. I wonder if REX will make my storm clouds look better?

Haha, cam u got a spare copy? I've got 4 'spare' hrs tomorrow, would love to show it off...

Kamil, I'm a windoze user but abandoned fsx almost a yr ago. I wouldn't go near pmdg, as flying @ 10fps does not interest me. I agree it's a pity Rex is not out for linux or apple yet, but frankly we are lucky to get Rex at all for xp, so quickly. If I want real ATC I use vatsim. With Rex, assuming it performs as advertised, I reckon we'll be set! Great planes, nice cloudy skies and Norcal for eyecandy. I don't need orbx etc, too busy flying my plane to gawk at fps sucking buildings - but there are already great 3d sceneries- xpfr Paris (see my paf video), Corsica (ditto), eddm amazing, inside passage, OLA's work, javier's LESA etc, plus god knows what surprises xaviation and Ben have instore for us. Good times. But not if you're with Linux, bummer. Maybe time to dualboot?

thanks! Can u post screenshots, can't get to my pc so am flashless on this iPhone..even the teeniest video anyone please?

you da man! Talk about a sleeper release! Anyone who gets it, pls. Report back! I'm verrrrrry tempted....

good point Jack. Although I only got it when the guys in the fsbreak podcast said it improved fps for fsx and I think they were right, I didn't notice a hit. OK Orbx, where are you? 'come join us' he says, in best Darth Vader voice

.....I've used REX with FSX before, so I'm legally permited to say.....FUCKING HELL!!!! So there, smite me if u must

double-ha, I missed your etcha-sketch - funny! At least you save on electricity, only have to wind the rubber bands twice weekly?

Ha Indi, so you really do use an abacus! With such low settings, at least you must be very proficient at IFR, since you can't see anything outside! Don't read this-I've got a Core i7 920 and 1gig GTX275 graphics card. I worked out it's 100 times more powerful than my 5yo pc. But I skimped on memory, only 6gigs.

thanks Theo, and that's the suburban bit. Next one near Monbulk came up a treat. Then I'll go across to west via ymml and ymav, on way to Adelaide. A fun scenic distraction inbetween video epics! Look forward to doing some of the trips in my filthy Sundowner :-)
