rob16584 42 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 With so many of us now using REX, I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where people can post their favourite themes, or ones they have made themselves. When posting try to include as much info as possible and which version of FS you are using Link to post Share on other sites

I am very please with your latest Northern Australia just Fab. :smile: PS. Is there anyway to speed up the install as mine takes about 20mins after I have made my selections.I am using REX2 in FSX Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi Mike, glad you like the themes. Unfortunately i've not come across a way to speed up the install process. I usually set the theme installing and go and do something else for a bit to let it install. Worth it in the end though! Link to post Share on other sites

GabethePilot 1 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Does anyone know which water texture has no flicker / shimmer when looking towards the sun ? I seem to remember that I managed to find just one that was really smooth... but I've forgot which it was. Annoyingly it takes forever to load a different one, as it seems to have to load ALL of the textures. Why can't you just change the water ? Doh ! :001_th_smiles48: Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Does dialling back the water settings slider in FSX have any effect? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yes! Keep it at the min/med 2 x setting Link to post Share on other sites
GabethePilot 1 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Yup, I only have it at Med 2X... but all the textures cause a sort of "ant's crawling around" artefact when looking towards the sun. But, I remember last time I ran FSX seriously, I did find just ONE of the water tetures that didn't do it. I guess I'll just have to go through them all - should only take about 3 weeks !
