While "the most recent realistic T. rex doesn't have feathers", there are two problems with claiming it to be the "most accurate" version: 1. The skin patches were only from certain parts of the body, and none of them were from the main torso region, which arguably comprises most of an individuals mass (the skin patches were from the head, neck, pelvis, shin, and base of the tail, as far as I can remember). 2. The PK Rex skin that this mod's skin is based off of, the Brumal Pattern, has a coat of black feathers where the black on this texture (the mod's). Without at least partial feathering, the mod is just not as accurate as it could be.
Another thing I would like to talk about is how people have recently jumped from one extreme interpretation of T. rex's integument to another. Right around the time that Yutyrannus huali was discovered and publicized, the general consensus, by both the media and people in the paleo-community, was that this meant T. rex had a full coat of fluff as well. Then the skin impressions of the Wy-Rex specimen came to light, and the media hailed it as "the revenge of the scaly Tyrannosaurus", and people went overboard and assumed this meant T. rex did not have feathers at all. Throughout both of these phases, I have seen only a few restorations that actually balanced these two extremities. Now, the worrying part of jumping between extremities, especially in science , is that you will likely never get a clear picture of the truth. You will end up just skip over probability, decency, the middle ground, and evidence, just to see what you wish to perceive. So, in a sense, if we (humanity) view the current state of something as being "perfect", we will never attempt to progress or advance on that front. (Oh, and thank you for making me spend the last hour of my time on this single response. If you want, I can make a follow-up response, although I do not think it would be wise for you to request that if you do not wish for your intelligence to be challenged again)
Dude just cuz some distant relatives of Trex had feathers doesn't mean you have to write a school essay on why Trex would've been absolutely covered in them.
Plus feathers look bad in Jurassic World Evolution anyways and it would be hard to pull off.
Why would Trex be covered in feathers anyways? The time period it lived in and area and climate estimations say that Trex definitely could exert a lot of body heat alone without feathers.
Yutyrannus is much smaller, about the size of Allosaurus. You seem like a kid that just clings to the idea of Feathers just because.
OH and guess what? You complain that people have been jumping extremes constantly. Are you kidding me? This is what Science is, it CHANGES based on most recent evidence. And guess what mate? We haven't found feathers on Rex just yet and there's no reason for it to HAVE feathers or find feathers useful. Did you even WATCH the video I sent before?
There's no evidence, the paleo community got crazy for several years trying to remind everyone 'birds are dinosaurs' 'dinosaurs are bird' and before you know it a chicken T. Rex was showing up everywhere.
Also take accuracy with a grain of salt, being so passionate about a field of study, people forget it is all guesswork on something that is so far from the past, we will never know much for sure.
Can you fix the T-rex eye animation? ost part of the time, hi dont look, foward, like the vanila, only when he walk, but in other moments, the eyes dont focus in anything.

In fact, most studies agree that it was featherless. Much like in recent times, giant animals lose their feathers due to overheating.
'dinosaurs are bird' and before you know it a chicken T. Rex was showing up everywhere.
