answered P3D4.5 TE England- Ground Textures and Performance
Paul Golding replied to Tim K's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
I couldn't recommend UK2000 EGMC enough. I use it as my default airport and see no issues with it in TE. It's a shame about the roads though and I find I fairly regularly swap between TE and EU England. -
Language is a funny thing. I must admit that I'd interpret "on sale now" as literally being available to purchase and to be fair, I can't imagine anywhere using those words to describe something that's available in the sale i.e. can be bought at a discounted price. Frustrating when we read things quickly though and the word "sale" is all that we see. Human nature I guess. On the plus side Eric, there's always a few "sales" each year, so you'll soon be able to get it at a discount.

XL426 is parked at my local and regularly did powered runs during open days and was proudly parked near the control tower for a few years, though sadly hiding by a hanger now. When XH558 did its farewell tour around the UK in 2015 before being grounded, it included a couple of passes over Southend and aside from that sound making the hairs on your neck stand up, the last flypast included an impressive wing waggle as if to say goodbye to XL426. Oh yes, the screenshots; hard to pick out a single one that wouldn't pass for a photo Iain!

answered Query about True earth
Paul Golding replied to psk2449's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
The scenery you have is the landclass based England. It basically has textured ground that looks a bit (a lot) like the English countryside, along with accurate, coasts, roads and points of interest etc...….to be fair, I dumbed that down a bit, because I think it's really good! True Earth England South is just that, true earth. It's based on aerial photographs of England, so it is actually England. The downside (for some it seems) is that TE England only has summer textures. -
It does look like some of the car parks and roads (especially in the last 2 screenshots) have a green tinge to them. Noticeable in the Wickford shot too. Road colour in general would be my only concern from the screenshots so far, because by and large, most UK roads are tarmac......and that's basically black under most lighting conditions, except having typed that and then gone to find some photos, they do of course NOT actually look black at all! Maybe I just think they should be darker. Regardless of the above, this is still a whole new world compared with default, Global or EU England.

active CityScene Orlando.....Something's Not Right.....Or,
Paul Golding replied to W2DR's topic in FSX Support Forum
Now that's the truth! As for the Orlando "issue", frustrating (for now) it may be for some, including you Doug, surely the need to fly around Orlando isn't that great? -
A bit like Scott really, I tend to buy stuff in the sale that I wouldn't have bought otherwise. In fact looking at FTX central, I've got stuff in there I've bought and never even installed!

Neil Hill is no longer with us
Paul Golding replied to Holger Sandmann's topic in The Neil Hill Memorial Lounge
What a very thoughtful and totally appropriate suggestion John. Very sad news. What an amazing legacy Neil's left...….RIP sir. -
"We're gonna need a bigger boat PC" Netherlands looks amazing John and I can't begin to think how great the UK will be.

resolved Odd light problem on the ground

Take a look here. Looks like the same issue, with a solution. -
Who else is excited about the new Dovetail Sim?
Paul Golding replied to Jordan King's topic in General Discussion
I can't help thinking that you said a lot more in that post than was actually written. -
NA SCA in the Desert.
Paul Golding replied to Iain Emms's topic in Orbx Preview Announcements, Screenshots and Videos
Can't help but agree with this.......I'm hoping it's something to do with sim setting, rather than the fact the actual scenery is that washed out. To be fair though, I just had a look at some photos I took around the Salton Sea area and the desert there is very pale. -
I find it easy to recommend this Twin Otter

Hi Moe, I've never noticed the runway issue in the demo's. Just in case it helps, check that you have your mesh resolution set to 5m.

ENNK Narvik airport. Newies.
Paul Golding replied to Iain Emms's topic in Orbx Preview Announcements, Screenshots and Videos
I think Andy's comment just goes to show how good this scenery really is -
ACTIVE New Trees and Sedona Coincidence?
Paul Golding replied to bailout3's topic in FSX Support Forum
Using Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\(your Window User name)\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX where you will find the FSX.cfg file which can be opened with Notepad or any other text editor. To see that folder, you will need to tick on 'show hidden files/folders' under Windows folder options and of course, remember to make a backup of the FSX.cfg first Also, you need to know that if you make any changes to the graphics using the menus in FSX itself, this will change the LOD_RADIUS back to 4.5 in the FSX.cfg file. -
I voted for this too.............now we (OK, me) just need to see more for EGMC
