Generation X???

[Chris Sykes]

Ive see rick saying hes got Gen x but is it any good? From their screen shots im not sure if its the same as or better than the JF stuff? Also is there any auto gen for the photoscenery yet?

Hi Chris

I don't like the JF product as it looks like it's been dipped in green\blue dye everywhere.

but i only tried their demo areas which are good but don't like the greenness that covers it.

the Gen X looks almost perfect with real weather/visibility turned on.

Concur most strongly with Rick's comments Chris ;-)

Not sure if the Demo GenX is still available but seek it out if it is then compare it with the JF Demo. Resolution wise.. GenX goes down to 1.2m.. JF VFR doesn't but that's swings and roundabouts. The green/blue hue does it for me but fortunately.. I already have GenX and it WORKS with FSX SP2!! Prior to SP2.. it ran like a dog hence me trying the JF VFR demo ;-)

BTW.. the full version is no better either. Lee.. my assistant manager bought it thinking it was GenX so I've seen it at first hand

Cheers guys, ive got three demos of the JF one and ill see if i can hunt down the Gen x demo...

Gen X for me too. I think its superb, and more realistic looking than the JF sceenies I've seen.

GenX is the dogs danglies. Have a look over at the Horizon forum screenshot pages and see. ;-)

[Chris Sykes]

No demo :-(, thanks ill have a another ponder over there...

Hi Chris..

Don't ponder mate.. forget JF VFR ;-) I've no affiliation with either so it's no skin off my nose which one you choose but you WILL be disappointed by the colour of the JF textures. If you've got the Demo's already and you like em.. fork out on a new monitor instead as yours is obviously well effed

Hi Chris

There should be a GenX demo.

the Area is North Wales Snowdonia region.

I think the demo area is also fully custom autogenned with the correct landmarks.

there are even a pair of stranded climbers to find stuck near one of the peaks
