domfliss Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Great shots there Iain; it's not a bad representation of Edinburgh! One of my dogs decided to give me the finger once whilst walking around Arthur's Seat!! Little bugger he was That part of the scenery looks pretty darn good!! Some of the lowlands or highlands would be lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Watson Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Very nice Iain, big improvement on the ageing Scotflight scenery! Do you have uk2000 egph or pf and can confirm that they merge in ok with FTX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hannant Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Very nice Iain, nice to see Easter Road stadium in there in pic #4 (although one of the stands is already out of date!). Arthur's Seat looking lovely as well although would be nice to see a slightly better Castle Rock... Regardless, looking damned fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 That is very VERY impressive. Only a short hop from the airport to Queensferry to check those bridges out. It appears its going to be a big few weeks ahead. Looking forwards to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I was sold before you released the images. Nice work, now I will be able to fly the whole island, south to north, without having to stop mid way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimh20 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks, Ian. Edinburgh looks pretty good, even to a Glaswegian! I might even fly over there...........hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaboki Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Looking forward to this one . A couple of questions, will the Shetland Islands also be covered? And I have Aerosoft Barra airport(Dangerous airports vol1), can I use this addon with FTX Scotland(that would be nice)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 737 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Those screenies look great, Scotland was always going to be a 'must have' for me. This year is shaping up very well indeed: Scotland, FTX Global AND the upcoming A2A Cessna - AWESOME year ahead Does anyone know which England airports got the 'thumbs up' after the survey? If EGSC is on the list and with all the above scenery - HEAVEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wroblewski Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Any chance of some screenies of Inverness and the great glen down towards Glasgow. Many great memories of that place ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinfirth Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 That's a very good looking rendition of Edinburgh. I think it's a good move to include photorealistic cities with full autogen for places like Scotland, instead of airports that have already been covered by other developers. Perhaps there's also a market for addon packs to FTX regions for other significant photorealistic cities like that to upgrade generic builtup textures for real ones? I would certainly buy any UK products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnkH Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A rather stupid question: after the release of FTX Global, what will be the true benefits of those FTX regions, such as FTX Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSandleben Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A rather stupid question: after the release of FTX Global, what will be the true benefits of those FTX regions, such as FTX Scotland? For an extended answer please read this post by John. There you will see what Global is and what it isn't. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/59802-ftx-global-update-june-2013/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 FTX Global won't do justice to any area of the world like our regions do, there is just no comparison. For those who are potentially sitting on the fence about the UK regions here is what they include which FTX Global does *not* include: Custom hand-made landclass for every square kilometre Unique textures based on aerial imagery over Scotland, Wales, England Accurate roads, road skirtings, roundabouts, motorways with traffic Accurate coastlines, rivers, in some places rocky shores, beaches, fish farms, mudflats and shallow water textures Accurate placement of cities, towns, villages, industrial estates, fields, crops, heathlands, highlands Custom POI models like castles, stadiums, highrise council estates, railway stations, bridges Railway lines and bridges Bridges added across rivers and water bodies Details like docks and wharfs which are photoreal in places like Endiburgh and Southampton Upgraded airports for every FSX IACO airport including grass, PeopleFlow, static aircraft, correctly placed hangars, clutter objects Power line towers and forest cutouts for them Lighthouses accurately placed Power stations, animated wind farms Polygon landclass areas to accurate depict forest cutbacks, and most <1km areas for villages, forests, crops, urban features Night lighting which works for dawn/dusk/night with a control panel to choose custom light fx and sizes And a whole lot more .. You simply won't see any of that with FTX Global, and we've never advertised it as doing anything more than providing FTX textures and basic night lighting for the whole world. To expect something like FTX EU SCO Scotland from FTX Global is a false hope which will leave you disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ok, fair enough. Thank you for this clarification. I actually was not expecting to have something identical with FTX Global in Scotland, but I was not sure about how many things are acutally improved for the specific regions like FTX Scotland. Now I understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
