Sounds good....but...

...I take it, this is an update for FSX REX Registered Customers only, and not for we existing FS2004 REX Registered Customers?

Paul...G-BPLF..FS 2004...FS Nav...and FS2004 REX.... ...!

P.S....looks like its FSX only....(in small print)... ....>>>> http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/overdrive.html

Never mind, Doug...

I'm still happy with my REX for my trusty FS 2004, and nothing, so far, has encouraged me to drag my copy of FSX, kicking and screaming, out of my bottom drawer...

..at least, because of my existing Hardware...

..and the lack of FS Navigator on it!... ...!

.... ...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...FS Nav...and a little bit of Cumulonimbus.... ...!

I'm not very sure you should be sharing that download link with us, on the website it says you must have bought the REX FSX. And theres no link for download of overdrive on the website.
EDIT: It seems that in order to download the package you have to register and it's completely free!

It's 'free' but completely useless unless you own REX FSX....

On the REX forum they said they served up 29 TB (29000 GB!?!) in the first 24 hours since release so you might have to wait your turn :-)
