gcecil Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hello, first post. I just installed in FSX-SE your FTX NZ South Island & Australia atop the Abacus World Extreme mesh. My questions: What benefits would I get for these 2 regions if I bought FTX Global? I know it will help worldwide, but does it augment these 2 regions too? What benefits for 2 these regions if I bought FTX Vector? I'd like more realistic cities beyond those in my FTX installs. The coastlines seem fine. Doesn't seem much point in DX 10 for Windows 8.1 64-bit on i7 1.6 GHz w/ ATI HD 5850. Performance is fine under DX 9 and trees aren't black boxes. Am I missing something here? Is there a recommended mesh replacement? Abacus WE is just FSGenesis repackaged, a 19 m mesh. Thank you for a good product!

Nick Cooper Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Welcome. You won't see any benefit in either of the two regions that you own from either FTX Global or FTX Vector. In fact it is recommended that Vector is not used with Australia. Both regions already comprise of all the elements of FTX scenery. I assume from your post that you are already aware of the improvements Global and Vector make to the world outside FTX regions. If you are happy with the way Direct X 9 displays your scenery, then there is of course no need to attempt a change to Direct X 10. You aren't missing anything, but those of us who do use it find that FSX is more tolerant of complex aircraft and highly detailed scenery. As to mesh, for Australia, you will find "Holgermesh" for the whole of Australia in the freeware section and New Zealand comes with its own mesh. (I assume that your i7 doesn't really run at 1.6 ghz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcecil Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thank you. Yup, laptop i7 Q720 running 1.6 Ghz w/ 12 GB. But handles FSX-SE fine a high settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greybeard Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 FTX NZ North Island and FTX Trees HD would be a good Investment. Also freeware FTX AI for Oceaner is first class and will give you plenty of AI aircraft at most NZ & AUS airports. Cheers, Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
