Morten Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just went through some 3 hours staggering GEX US/Europe update procedures - besides reading miles of instruction! So my expectations were obviously high when I finally were ready to fly in a couple of GEX areas. Boy! what a disappointment! And no actual improvements. When getting use to ORBX, the GEX scenery seems pathetic - as flying around in a cartoon or a doll house for that matter. So get on with it ORBX! - cover the rest of the world, please!

Lucevan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just took delivery of my 49.95AUSD Australia and it's really impressive. Trying to find my way around a whole new continent is a challenge. I haven't even visited everywhere in PNW, or PFJ or NRM.....and more still to come! Amazing.

Dean (PC Aviator) Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We have the best FSX scenery in the world here in Australia! For those touring around who are not familiar with the country, I'd suggest using Plan-G http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/ - it is an excellent moving map companion and flight planning software for FSX.

Horatio Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 So my expectations were obviously high when I finally were ready to fly in a couple of GEX areas. Boy! what a disappointment! And no actual improvements. Totally agree - complete waste of time and money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lovell Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yep, agree too.. Trying to apply the patches for UTX and GEX is far too laborious and fidley... and the scenery is no where near as good as Orbx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Although I agree that Orbx surpasses the quality of above mentioned sceneries I can understand people using them. I was one of them in the past, contemplating I'd rather have improved textures for a very large region instead of excellent textures with accurate landclass for a relatively smaller region. Then came March 1st 2008 and I decided to try AU Blue, only to find out my approach to enhancing FSX had been totally wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After buying/installing Blue, my eyes must've gone all saucer-like, and I soon had every scenery Orbx produces. Still at it, too. I figure I can travel throughout Oz, and the current NA sceneries without seeing every place of interest -- and even if I came close, the buggers will be producing new areas. For me, at my age, the old adage fits: "So many places to see; so little time to do it in!" If that sounds anything like a complaint, it isn't! Flight Simming ascended to a state of bliss, with the advent of Orbx sceneries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
