Guest GaryVH-GJB Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Can you still install red barents products with FTX...ie roads and rivers vic...and mountains of vic??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Meiklejohn Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yes, no probs with mountains of Vic, however Roads and Rivers will double up on a lot of the roads we have put in, and the coastlines might look funny depending on which product is higher on the scenery list.

Virtualwombat Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm using Roads and Rivers of Victoria but I only use the mesh; everything else is turned off. Works fine. Cheers, Noel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er no, you're actually using "Mountains of Victoria" if all you are using is the mesh. There are two seperate products: - Mountains of Victoria - this is a 20m resolution mesh, which works very well with FTX - Roads and Rivers of Victoria - this is a topo-based vector product which will clash with FTX, since both products create custom coastlines, roads and rivers. R&RoV has better definition of rivers and contains a lot more water bodies such as dams in farms and smaller lakes, but unless you know which of the BGLs in the product to isolate and make it work with FTX, you will get duplicate roads, rivers and coastlines. It may be worth me asking Christian to make an FTX patch for it so the two work more seamlessly together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Would really appreciate you doing that John - it would be great to be able to get the absolute best from both products. Hopefully Christian will be able to help. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 To avoid the double up with R&R and FTX, all you need to do is install the FSX patch: http://support.simpilotexperience.com and make sure that R&R has a higher priority than FTX. Should work fine... Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks for that Christian - going there now. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solareagle Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 If somebody gets R&R for use with FTX please let me know what you think. Its costs quite a bit more than FTX its self, and considering it appears to mostly provide redundant data I'm interested to know what kind of results you get with it. I'm mainly interested in it for the water data, which it seems to have a lot more of. I've got the Red Baron mesh which really steps things up, though its a bit overpriced in my eyes for such limited coverage. I'd recommend it anyway just because FTX is the best thing going for FSX. If anybody wants to see how the 20m mesh compares to the default and the Holgermesh I did a comparison right here: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=1824.0 Here's the Grampians with 20m mesh: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=1866.0 Here's Mt Buffalo: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=1736.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
