jerrycwo4 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Would someone explain how the Global Base Works? I just installed it yesterday and at this time only have the NW USA SCENERY installed. So when flying in NW USA do I use the Base or the NW scenery. I cannt tell any difference in them. Thanks. jerrycwo4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi Jerry, If you will fly in the PNW, select North America in FTX Central. If you are flying out of the PNW, select FTX Global. If you are in the PNW and will go flying out of it, use FTX Gobal "hybrid mode". The same if you will fly from an area outside the PNW into it. The differences are most noticeable in the PNW because it has elevation adjustments, mesh and vector improvements and some airports enhanced. See, for example, KSEA the PNW and KSEA in FTX Global. a. B. C. Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrycwo4 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Voyager, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your great reply. I think I understand now, so now even with the BASE installed, and the PNW selected, the scenery there will NOT be improved ; the BASE only improves scenery in the world where you do not have that special area inhaced like the NW USA inhaced with the Pacific Northwest ? Thanks again. jerrycwo4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Right Jerry. Only a reaffirmation, FTX Global only changes the whole textures by other ones much more visually attractive. Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrycwo4 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Do you have any other "inhancements" for the PNW other than the "Base"? I'll take two screen shots like you made for me and compare them yours. Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Jerry, FTX PNW Region has various payware airports that you can add to the PNW region scenery that enhances the scenery at those airports. Look here: https://fullterrain.com/ For all the available regions and airports available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrycwo4 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks Spud, I have a lot of them[airports] (I used to have all of them a few years ago but they made too many, too fast) As you can see my rig above it' still a bit of a fight to get good FPS with four monitors. With default FSX AIRCRAFT I can get about 20-30 FPS. To tell the truth I still fly FS9 more than FSX because of the best frame rates and more third party airports. I've been flying sims for about 18 years. As promised to Voyager here are some screen shots of FSX with and without the Global running. Thanks for your input.
