REX Essential PLUS with OverDrive consists of everything that REX Essential PLUS offers, including an ADDITIONAL 12GB of HD quality, user-scalable textures. The processes used in creating these newer textures allowed for much more fidelity and realism and have become widely accepted in the flight simulator community.

On top of the already 14,000+ textures included within REX Essential Plus, enjoy an additional 256 cirrus and 192 3D cumulus and stratus cloud formations, 2 sets of asphalt runways, 1 set concrete runways, 9 sets asphalt taxiways, 9 sets of concrete taxiways, 1 set of a snowy runway, 6 sets of dawn sky colors, 19 sets of day sky colors, 8 sets of dusk sky colors, 2 sets of tropical water and reef textures, and 11 sets of wave animations.

New in REX Essential PLUS w/OverDrive is the WXPLUS mode, a second weather engine mode utilizing the weather theme process.
This process injects real-time live weather, archived weather and even custom weather into FSX/P3D. This process is extremely fast, eliminates flashing and does not affect frame rates. We have also included the Synoptic and Micro weather station features adding more depth to this new weather mode. Weather Engine Plus injects real weather including real winds and temperatures aloft. To sum it up, there are two modes in which to inject weather into FSX/P3D: the standard station mode or the Weather Engine Plus mode.

We have also included the new synoptic and micro weather station processes which allows for trans-oceanic flights utilizing real weather. This technique populates areas with few weather stations for a more robust weather experience allowing you to experience the effect of real frontal systems. Synoptic weather stations handle large areas of weather, which in turn produces the effect of large weather systems. Micro Weather Stations help with transitioning from local weather conditions, helping with fog, wind and precipitation transitions.

REX Essential PLUS w/OverDrive allows you to control environment, water and airport textures, as well as lighting effects that are so critical to the enjoyment and immersion within the flight simulator experience. All of these features may be fully manipulated to your individual tastes.

REX Game Studios has partnered with FlightAware, the leading aviation software and data services company to expand upon real-world flight planning within REX Essential PLUS w/OverDrive. Read more about these exciting features and more below in the following sections!

• TWO Newly-engineered, industrial strength weather engine modes with integrated real-world winds and temperatures aloft
• Random weather generator
• Weather Cubed Technology with server-side functionality, takes the processing duties off of the host computer for smoother frame rates within flight simulator environment
• Built-In FlightAware flight planning capabilities within the new REX Flight Center. Ability to search for real-world, real-time IFR flights scheduled at a single airport or between routes between two airports. You are provided details about the flight and then able to import the flight plan into FSX or P3D via REX Essential PLUS w/OverDrive
• REX Edge Technology allows community integration such as sharing texture and flight plans with other REX users around the world. All REX users are now connected in various ways to each other, thus allowing them to share their creations with other REX users
• Accelerated texture installation process. Added ability to reduce install time with a click of a button
• New Environment Sounds! REX Essential PLUS w/OverDrive now includes true environment and weather-related audio
• Hi-definition, ultra-realistic 3D clouds and realistic rendering of cirrus clouds as seen in the real world
• Sky color environments, including smoothing horizon transition & visibility smoothing for dawn, day, dusk & night textures
• Convincingly real water environments with tropical reef simulation (end user color controllable, including tropical with reef simulations, inland and ocean, wave turbulence/frequency, environment variants & coloring. Also new realistic type of wave and reflection included in many variations for shader 1x and shader 2x INCLUDING DX10 Compatible)
• Airport environments (photo-real asphalt & concrete runway textures, new runway and ground bump-mapping, asphalt taxiways, concrete taxiways, realistic taxiway markings, airport signage, airport parking and general photorealistic airport ground scenery)
• Multiple variations of sun, lens flare & lightning bolt algorithms, which creates a visually stunning array of lightning situations
• Fully integrated to select sky, cloud, water, airport, and effect themes based upon weather situation, season, and other synoptic, mesoscale, and micro weather conditions
• Enhanced Cloud Simulation to give a more 3D volumetric feel to cloud structures and the atmosphere
• Lighting environments (runway lighting including simulated ground glow, stunningly realistic aircraft spotlights with variations for small to large aircraft, aircraft strobe lights, variations for add-on aircraft as well)
• 3d cloud & water resolution options for performance preference
• Flexibility to work in tandem with other vendor weather & texture packages
• User-friendly intuitive and visually pleasing interface
