I think it will be!

BTW, you can buy it here: REX, but beware, it's 4GB download, and requires 9GB of free space. You can get the DVD option though for a bit extra.

THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA!

Announcing Real Environment Xtremeâ„¢! A first of its kind product... a complete photo-realistic, hi-definition professional graphics package for Microsoft's Flight Simulator series created entirely from state-of-the-art photography. INCLUDES our NEW built-in Weather Engine and Flight Planner! The texture sets within Real Environment Xtremeâ„¢ coupled with the powerful NEW Weather Engine and Flight Planner provides for an exhilarating and realistic experience. Real Environment Xtremeâ„¢, code named REX, has taken almost two years of research & development to reach the level of detail that exists today.

REX is a technologically & artistically advanced, hi-definition texture utility for the simulator pilot who requires a more advanced feature set. THE BULK OF THE CONTENT has been produced from extremely hi-resolution film photography, NOT digital, with the upmost artistic attention to detail. Source material was laser drum-scanned and the proprietary artwork and textures are maintained in hi-definition format to allow its amazing detail and clarity to become evident within the simulation environment.

Real Environment Xtremeâ„¢ (REX) Features:

* User-friendly intuative and visually pleasing interface
* Full-featured NEW built-in Weather Engine (Built on Real Life meteorological algorithms using synoptic, meso-scale, and micro environment weather formulas for Real and Custom weather)
* Flight Planner (Ability to create and file a Flight Plan using true to life flight requirements)
* Hi-definition, ultra-realistic photo-real 3D clouds (stratus, wispy, cumulus and highly realistic rendering of cirrus clouds as seen in the real world)
* Sky color environments (Includes smoothing horizon transition & visibility smoothing for dawn, day, dusk & night)
* 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 & brand NEW 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, meso-scale, 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

Below is a sample of the REX Wave & Coral Simulation:

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

* Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista
* Microsoft Flight Simulator X (requires at least SP1, compatible with SP2/Acceleration)
* Processor: 2.0Ghz+
* RAM: 2GB
* Hard Drive: 9GB of free space
* Video Card: 256MB DirectX 9 compatible (512MB recommended)
* Other: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - required for REX, download from this link.
* Internet connection required to download REX service packs and real-time weather data.

Many more screenshots and videos are available at the REX Website.

I have just been on the FlightSim Store site and found that the Real Environment Xtremeâ„¢ Delivery Option: Instant download Filesize: 461.06 KB. I don't know where you got your 4GB from

Glad you mentioned the Herald. Great story [not!] today about the Internet being down for 8 hours last night. "Telecom state that the problem *may have been caused* by a power failure". You mean that after 8 hours *they DON'T KNOW?*. Shoddy reporting (ie. Get THE FACTS please) and shoddy Telecom ... for being so inept.

So ... back on topic ... REX hasn't been let out of his kennel yet?

Like a fire cracker this time of the year , light the fuse ...........................

... BANG! .. whoops

It is still going to be a huge download , ..... I just hate people flicking the switch before the power is turned on !

The post above has this:

So I would guess that 461KB is the download tool, which will then grab the other 4GB.

REX is out!
