NoLonger Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I own UTX Europe. I know there are also versions of UTX for other parts of the world but UTX does not cover the entire world. I use FTXG for textures now and I am looking forward to OpenLC. I do notice however how important vector data is for the overall experience and so I am very happy with UTX Europe. I only use that one for roads and waters btw: the rest it offers doesn't interest me. Afaik there aren't any other addons that would give me real roads and waters for the entire world, are there...? I've heard about openVFR but it seems to be about landclass and autogen etc. and not the vector data I am talking about (roads and waters). And besides, apart from not covering the entire world, openVFR is also way too expensive. I never heard of an addon that provides this data for the entire world but I just wanted to make sure it really isn't there... or am I missing something?

NoLonger Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Seriously... wow, you weren't kidding when you said on Avsim you had big plans for the future...! Oh my, oh my... let the speculation begin! It's never been so much fun to be an FSX simmer as it is now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Bob Read the " title " of this thread ! Cheers Karol Yep...that's what I'm reading too Karol. If it happens some day, I'm sure it'll sell as many copies as FTX Global and be another real winning success story. But Bob, you're also quite right if you're saying lets not get ahead of ourselves. As JV says, we'll just quietly watch this space...there's nothing wrong with a little dreaming in the meantime though, eh?

NN_Avirex Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm messing with UTX and Open VFR + FTXG Those are good product but they both have a BIIIIIIG imperfection : they are autogen killer. The roads (especially urban) will clean all the autogen in the city. UTX also adds a lot of disturbing elements such as strange green strips everywhere. The best way to enjoy FTXG for the moment is maybe to use it by itself. It's spectacular in urban area but problematic everywhere you have rivers and shores (except in the USA where the default scenery seems better then elsewhere). Do you think that a solution exist on a big scale ( I mean water+road+intensive autogen) ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan2 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Great !. That has solved a situation for me . I don't own utx etc, so reading about it and finding out that it contains landclass led me to wonder about a potential mess . Thanks Team , I wont waste my pennies elsewhere .

Do you think that a solution exist on a big scale ( I mean water+road+intensive autogen) ?? In the setup tool turn off all minor urban and rural roads (and their corresponding minor road bridges). That should help with the autogen. Until a product comes along to replace UTX (watch this space...) we'll have to put up with it's foibles. Like you said though, now it's really only for the coasts and stuff that we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NN_Avirex Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In the setup tool turn off all minor urban and rural roads Thank you. Of course I did it but the difference between FTXG alone and FTXG+UTX is still enormous. So let's be patient... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, fine, get back to your flying...I guess this space will be here when you get back Regards, Sid Hi Sid! Have been on vacation and now on my finals into finishimg all the new installs ... took me longer than expected - but: Good things take there time to evolve! Anyways - looking forward to taking my first "serious" flight over FTXGlobal within the next few days ... and surely going to land at some space ... somewhere then ... and then be back at the forums again for sure - to follow this space here Cheers, Christoph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
