Could not resist a few more screenshots with the newly-installed FEX. Some lovely cloud effects, and a huge improvement for FSX. Not had long to experiment with FEX, but already getting some good results. The FS9 version of Flight Environment was great, but this is even better!! Expect a lot more screenshots!













Smooth landings.

Wow ohmy.gif Those shots look real.
What are the frame rates like? Are they still good?

Good news is that FEX does not seem to have affected frame rates. I have only installed the standard 1024 X 1024 resolution textures at the moment (only installed FEX last night) but I might go ahead and try the high definition textures as well, which are available for download on their website. As you can see, the early results are great.

smooth landings.

Yes early results are brilliant.
Nice shots and it's awesome that it doesn't affect the frame rate too much.
If this isn't the highest definition ones around, then the HD ones must be absolutely amazing.
