I did the same. I’ll use it for the weather presets, but that’s about it for now, unfortunately.

Thank you for the honest review. Helped confirm my decision to keep the wallet closed on this one.

It’s not bad advice. I fly GA exclusively and recognize the benefit REX is offering here. The price is reasonable too.

And can you please confirm my post 93?
The wind seems to push the aircraft around a lot more with REX. That’s at least been my experience so far. Maybe it was a matter of where I was flying but previously with default weather, I don’t remember the TBM being moved around nearly as much. Same goes for rotating and on final. Today was the first time I’ve had to really kick the rudder due to crosswind.

The second airport seems weird?
Oh i see now, there is still shown KJFK METAR.
it seems nice please more screenshots
Honestly, i like the real world photo the least haha.
For KJFK, it seems to be highly related to what sources you choose to believe
-
ECMWF - overcast
-
GFS - clear
-
METEOBLUE - cloudy
-
Weather.com - cloudy

Not in Australia. This afternoon, I was flying out of Avalon doing circuits as my 3yr old loves to fly the sim, and I live 15km from Avalon Airport. At the time we flew in the sim, it was beautiful clear blue skies outside. In the sim the live weather had it as overcast at about 4000ft. If a 3rd party can inject Metar reports into the sim at I think 6x an hour is the rate they are updated, then Asobo, should be able to do this easily enough. We will see what comes. The weather has improved marginally, but the refresh rate needs to be higher for localised weather.
This sounds like implementing old Prepar3D / X-Plane weather engine into MSFS. Does not make much sense for me.

There are enough flightsimmers that have already used current data, for example in the Xplane11 with ActiveSky XP. And that’s exactly what REX 6 does now. It doesn’t make sense for casual gamers either! They will not buy aircraft for 80-120 euros either.

its been pretty windy there in the past 24 hours. I dont believe that meteoblue forecasted 3kts wind , do you ?
Hmm. the METAR readings are 2 and a half hour old 
So just for educational purpose, my understanding is that they are all forecasts which have to be aligned with actual observation at a given internal to re-adjust initial values. For these forecasted weather, unless the person is physically at the location where the weather is reported, how can that person tell which forecast is more accurate?
To me, it looks like MSFS choose to report whatever MB forecasts and other sources may report based on different forecast model. I think my original concern would be, does MSFS report the same values as from MB’s METAR MAP.
