Scenery Heads Up

Post by ChrisHunt »

For those wanting to fly a little outside of the UK Flight1 has released Ultimate Terrain X for Europe. Considering the scope of the scenery it is very good value as it comes in at less than £20 (it's priced in Dollars). Take a look here http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_p ... ?TID=24937 for details.

I bought it and it really does make a difference, even with standard FSX textures. It will be even better once Flight1 release GEX for Europe as GEX significantly improves on standard FSX textures - see here http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_topics.asp?FID=38 for details. The enhanced version is now out and it is even better than the original release.

A small word of warning though - because UTX contains a good deal more roads than FSX and many of these roads have traffic, framerates take a bit of a hit if your traffic levels are set on anything much above about 20% (this figure is based on a Q6600 with 2Gb of fast memory). To improve things further I also use SceneryTechs landclass for USA and Europe, which again improves on the FSX default.

If I get an opportunity over the next few days I'll post some screen shots.

Regards,
Chris
