Not only that, they have a weather generation program that is top notch.

The guys at REX really know what they’re doing when it comes to weather and environment texturing. There aren’t enough great things to say about this add-on. If you are looking for thunderstorms that tower tall and strong, IFR that looks like the real deal, or water that looks legit, this add-on is for you. Want asphalt instead of concrete? You got it!

Can replace ground textures at the airport, like taxiways and runways.

Replaces water textures to be more realistic.

Replaces all cloud textures for cumulus, cirrus, stratus and more.

REX takes care of many of the weather and environment related realism for your sim. REX or Real Environment Xtreme is perhaps one of the greatest addons you will ever get your hands on. Rather, I guess you could say these are great ‘utilities’.

These are pieces I don’t feel fit in the scenery, airport, and aircraft categories. Let’s get our heads OUTSIDE our own little world inside that aircraft, and think about some external (meaning outside) addons that can help you increase the overall realism of your simulation. These amazing aircraft are the rare simulations of this hobby/obsession that everyone appreciates, because they are so hard to get right. (acknowledging that not all aircraft addons are created equal, and some are just eye-candy) To code one means a high level of expertise, time, investment, and so on.Īt least, for those that who code it right. These real-world aircraft after all, like the Boeing 777 for example, are extremely complex machines. I suppose it’s true that we get most excited about new aircraft simulations being developed, because they seem to be the hardest pieces of software to get right. This seems to be the going rate for the flightsim community- It’s all about the amazing aircraft, and that is where most of the excitement resides. Are we all not waiting with bated breath for the release of the PMDG 777? Any update that comes out, the community explodes in excitement.
