Hello,
I had the opportunity to use the services that James provides for optimizing your computer for FSX and REX.  I was very very happy with the results that James did on optimizing my computer and he also showed me in depth how to utilize the REX software to its maximum potential.  I would recommend his services to anyone that wants to get the most out of their system.  Not only did he tweak FSX he helped me with some issues with some software that I had downloaded and kept getting errors with it.  He explained everything  he was doing as he was doing it so that I understood what was happening every after our conversation. 
Again, thanks James for your help.

Great tutorial, thank you! Just bought REX on sale and i do hope it will work on max settings. The visuals are simply stunning.

[JamesHolcombFSA]

Lol.... Yes Mike it took me until the second time I used Smart Defrag to figure that one out myself but it is nice that you can do that with it. Saves a lot of time from having to defrag the whole thing. Cheers!

but after i did the re-boot wow its working.

Ricardo, you are welcome my friend!

I believe this is the only con I have found in REX for me personally that is.

I never use that button for that fact alone. I like to install my own or others custom themes and then I hit that button and it wipes all of that out and installs a random theme. So I just hit the "Fly Now" button up top instead. So make sure you have a theme installed whether one of your's or one you browsed the REX Edge Server and hit the "Fly Now" button and see if that works.

Mark, Any/all add-on's that you install usually direct themselves to and find the main FSX folder automatically so if you have installed FSX onto the Root C:\ Drive will be installed there as well. If for some reason they don't then yes you can direct, and install them to the C:\ Drive.

This video was very helpful for me, since I currently upgrade from REX2 to REX+OD. Thank you! Keep up the good work ...

[UUTubesurffer]

James, Reinstalling FSX to C:\FSX was the magic and did solve the error problem. I did clean off REX and reinstalled it as well but now I'm thinking just moving FSX might have done the trick. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for that James but now that I have installed SP1 the build has been updated to 3.2.2013.0415. I have started a forum topic on REX and Reed is providing support.. Many thanks again for assistance though. Also thanks for your screen shots I just had a skim through them on your FB page they are outstanding..

[svpst]

Very nice job. didn't realize how little i had been using of this delightful program. Flying will be a lot better from now on.

[JamesHolcombFSA]

Hello Abbasi, yes there was a service pack for REX EssPlus Od released last week. When you get REX installed open up the about section and find your version number (last four) then go to the REX Forum and DL the corresponding Service pack DL this and install it into the REX folder that you installed OD into you. Should be go to go.

Excellent vid James, I have just bought REX ess w OD and found your vid really helpful, thanks!

[JamesHolcombFSA]

Ryan, in the REX CFG. Manager switch to standard mode instead of WXPlus mode. and you can choose any weather pattern from the FSX settings, ie - Fair Weather - Building Storms - Cold Fronts - Etc.
