Compared to many third party sceneries, the default FSX and P3D scenery looks decidedly outdated. Not only are the default textures of a low resolution, but many of the airports fail to give an impression of their real life counterparts. In September 2016, REX Game Studios released WorldWide Airports HD, an airport texture conversion package, with its sole aim of replacing all of the default airport textures (hangars, terminals, jet bridges and other buildings) with a selection of new and high-quality ones. As well as the improvements mentioned above, many of the default ground service vehicles have also been modified, and these are now represented with improved models.
REX Worldwide Airports HD is an extensive photoreal global airport graphics package created from real-world airport structures and supporting environments. These environments were authored from high resolution photography all around the world from real-world counterparts, and will customize and transform over 24,000 airports within the simulator.
In this review, I will be looking at all of the features of the program, as well as how it greatly improves the simulator world through its series of textures and models.
Installation
The Installation file for this package weighs in at a healthy 3 GB. Inside the zip file, you'll find the installer, a selection of CAB files and a hotfix installer from a December 2016 update.
REX WorldWide Airports HD does not install directly into your FSX/P3D folder, but instead into a folder of your choosing. The reason for this, is because the program is more of a 'launcher' than a direct replacement for your textures. As such, it does require a degree of setting up, but it is more than worth it!
Once installed, there is a 35-page user manual (PDF format) which explains all the different features of the program.
What Does It Do?
Once installed, the user has a large selection of terminal textures and styles to choose from. This allows the user to create different sets of scenery which can then be implemented into the simulator based on what they have selected.
The program is easy to use and doesn't take too long to get to grips with. There are 11 different categories (types of building) to choose from, with each category having multiple textures. Because of this varied selection, the user is free to mix and match to their hearts content.
