Get ready to experience a new era in flight simulation experience for X-Plane!
Real Environment Simulations is pleased to announce that Real Environment Xtreme for X-Plane, will be released today.
Real Environment Xtreme uses the newest hi-definition technology to bring the most realistic environment to the X-Plane platform. This new technology includes state-of-the-art photography processes, mapped to various cloud and sky textures that gives a true volumetric feel to the X-Plane world. This REX HD technology has been crafted, refined, and proven over a three year process.
Real Environment Xtreme for X-Plane also offers a new Weather Synthetic Texture Processing feature that allows REX to craft the best textures for the weather situation and then uses its new Weather Data Server (WDS) to synthesize the metar reports to give the best representation of the weather within X-Plane. If this wasn't enough we have included a new Weather Avoidance Tool that provides global weather conditions for precipitation, lightning, turbulence/shear and icing.
Real Environment Xtreme is available for X-Plane exclusively from The FlightSim Store (http://www.flightsimstore.com) and X-Aviation (http://www.x-aviation.com)

december 21, 2009 - vfr reviews
Kevin Glover from VFR Reviews just completed a review of REX2 for FSX.
"Rex, in Latin, means king. I will happily call myself one of the subjects in REX’s benevolent reign and if I were to meet you, my reader, I would look you in the eyes and tell you this is indubitably the best $40.00 you can spend on your hobby. I can think of no more fit comparison to describe this product. It is vast in its complexity and sublime in its versatility. The simulator will never be the same again."

december 18, 2009 - rex/fs2004 service pack
There were a few items, that during the decompression stages, corrupted some textures, which slipped by us immediately before release. The weather engine depiction and a multitude of other key items reported by our users are also fixed. The FS2004 service pack is currently in testing and will be released shortly. We're sorry for the inconvenience this has caused everyone, but we feel confident that you will be enjoying REX to the fullest extent soon.

Real Environment Xtreme for FS2004 (FS9) released!
Phoenix, Ariz. - Real Environment Simulations is pleased to announce the release of the long-awaited software, Real Environment Xtreme for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9).
"We've received many inquires about our REX technologies incorporated into the FS9 platform," said Tim Fuchs, developer. "FS9 is still an extremely popular and viable platform to develop for, and we believe we have taken it to the next level."
With almost three years in development and refinement for the FSX/FS9 versions of REX, carefully cataloging and photographing real life cloud structure, sky scenes, water scenes and airport environments, Real Environment Xtreme brings a full array of tools to the sim pilot. With a Flight Planner, a Weather Engine and a Weather Avoidance Tool, Real Environment Xtreme gives the sim pilot all they need to make that important bush, recreational, general aviation, or even commercial carrier flight(s).
This environment add-on not only enhances visual realism, but matches that realism to the underlying weather simulation, creating a whole new world in flight simulation for the FS9 platform.
Fuchs, partner Reed Stough and team are tirelessly creating innovative technologies for the flight simulator franchise.

Mr. Fuchs also adds, "We've been working hand-in-hand on this partnership for some time now, and we believe the time has come to announce the merging of our technologies."
