Finally someone has developed an addon that counters the absolutely dismal default clouds in FSX! It’s REX Soft Clouds.
REX Soft Clouds is the new volumetric-like soft cloud texture add-on for FSX, PREPAR3D and FSX:Steam Edition. Get ready to be amazed! This soft cloud pack gives a true volumetric feel to your flight simulator clouds.
It is the first addon that I’ve seen that has said that they have designed it to work with the FSX SE. Here’s a list of features:
- Over 256 cloud textures included
- Better in-cloud lightning representation
- A large, easy to read user-interface
- Lightning-fast texture installation
- Ability to auto-start simulator after texture injection
- Network capable
- Unique types of cloud base structures
- Low/Mid-level 3D clouds, including Stratus, Cumulonimbus, Cumulus, Stratocumulus, Altostratus and Altocumulus
- DX9, DX10 and DX11 compliant
- Built-in check for updates feature
- Easily switch between simulator preference (FSX, FSX-Steam Edition, P3Dv1.4 & P3Dv2)
- HDR option included for Prepar3D v2!
- Texture options for 32bit and DXT5 (for low-end systems)
- REX Soft Clouds takes advantage of the new DX11 technology as seen in PREPAR3D v.2, as well as providing for DX9 and DX10
REX Soft Clouds takes advantage of the core features of PREPAR3D v2 while realistically enhancing the FSX, FSX-Steam Edition and PREPAR3D v.1.4 cloud environment. This package is compiled from years of feedback from current REX customers to meet a specific demand! You will truly experience volumetric haze and fog as never before seen within a flight simulator environment.
REX Soft Clouds is tailored to low and high-end systems alike. You may easily switch between simulator preference (FSX, FSX-Steam Edition, P3Dv1.4 & P3Dv2) and is fully network capable.
