REX Has dropped out of the Clouds

[Pato]

Hi Ian, Tried to get this programme but I need a Voucher Code. Is it necessary that you have purchased REX products previously.?

The links I provided above should show 50% off all REX products. No voucher code required............

Thanks. Your link did it for me.

At least you have it installed.!! I am having all sorts of problems. Won't recognise my validation code even though REX support say it is ok. Anyone else have problems.? I am waiting on

Support to sort it out for me. Looks like my $21.85 down the drain. All good experience I guess.

It is a process, I guess, but it worked smoothly enough for me. With any purchase which involves an activation code, I always copy the code from the email to the clipboard first, so I don't need to go looking for it. I think I ended up pasting it into three different locations during the install and activation -- but each time it worked fine.

Pat , I'd go directly to the REX site, they will get you sorted , I did did not have any issues all, simply plop and play , I'm yet to still fully adjust and compare but they .. The REX group won't leave out in the cold, take screens of the issues you are having or write down the details of what it is doing.

I did that also. Fingers crossed that it will sort itself out. Looking at the download after extraction from the zip folder, I have, rexinstaller.exe, rexww1.cab to rexww7.cab and the rexwwa_hotfix1c_20161121.msi
so I am nearly there eh.?

[toprob]

Sounds good. At what stage do you get into trouble?

I can't get it to run. I would expect that when the .exe file is opened I should be able to run the program but it just asks to EXTRACT but surely they have been extracted, or am I missing something.?

[toprob]

Yes, I assumed that you would be running it from the extracted folder, as you did say you'd extracted it -- but are you sure you are running the extracted version? You can't run it from the ZIP file, as although the extra files show up in the ZIP file, the installer can only find them if they are extracted.

No issues installing here, although a quick fly around the Auckland area (NZAA-NZWP-NZNE-NZAR) has confirmed my earlier suspicions. With ORBX NI/SI installed the changes are not very noticable as they use their own texture definitions for buildings, hangars, terminals etc. Runway and taxiway textures do change however and are much improved over the default sets, but the oil and grease effects under the aircraft parking spots are WAY overdone! I think I'll have to restore my VLC purchase Rob and see how the results differ there - I take it the latest VLC can be reactivated through Windowlight? I've only got v1.02 stored locally.

In the meantime I'm off to install and test RealNZ Dunedin

Duh!! That sorted it. After a few further tries it finally accepted my validation code. I got an error in the original download but the hotfix1c from REX sort it.

Mat -- 1.02 is the current version, I think, so you should be ok.
I've reactivated your download in the old Store, anyway.

[mfraser]

Appreciated thanks Rob - the only reason I thought to mention it is that the VLC website says the latest version is 1.031......I'll log in and check it out tomorrow as I'm far too busy exploring NZDN right now! Fantastic work! Framerates are great, ORBX SI blend is nice and subtle - the scenery is spectacular! I particularly like the addition of SODE (I've played with GSX before) - its much more accurate than the default jetways. The icing on the cake - pulling up to Gate 3 and seeing the depth of the terminal really adds that next level of realism. Great stuff!

Cheers, Mat. I'll check with Tim re current version. Might take a while to sort this if it needs an update, though as I'm shutting down the office for a while.
