UTX Alaska Is Released!

Just bought it myself, and have had some frame rate issues in the larger areas, will tweak and defrag before I pass judgement tho. I did do a flight in the brooks range, just a quickie from Coldfoot to Wiseman and back, and found the scenery much to my liking. and it's good to have my favorite state to fly back looking good. (now there's only two sceneries keeping fs9 on my machine misty fjords, and glacier bay)

Is it just me or has this been the best couple of months ever for FSX bush flying? Tongass X last year, now Mike's supercub, the carenado 185, the bird dog, now this, and it looks like FTX PNW about to get released as well!
 
I'll be curious to know how well this works with the Tongass Fjords package. Does this cover the Aleutian Islands and Kodiak Island too?
 
Holger Sandmann developer of Tongass Fjords X contributed to the Ultimate Alaska product. How to configure them both to work together is noted in the manual provided with Ultimate Alaska.

Ultimate Alaska does cover the Aleutian Islands and Kodiak Island.

I can see Bush Virtual Airlines and Charter communities suddenly filling with new blood.

Imagine... UTXCan+UTXAlaska+TongassX+MistyX+PNW from FTX.

Almost the whole Pacific Coastline to explore and 1/4 of the way into the Rockies!

99.9% of my flying will be right there for the foreseeable future! :ernae:

Before buying this I'd really like to know more about the mesh, such as:

What is the resolution (e.g. 5m? 10m? 90m?)?
What is the source (e.g. Intermap? ASTER Global DEM? USGS NED?)

Does anyone here know?

cheers

This could be a great day. I am downloading now. This will make practicing local flights so much nicer.

You'd probably get a more direct answer at their site.

They say it is comparable to v1 of Justins (FSGenesis) mesh and that he is working on a v2 that is tailored to this product.
 
Man, what great news. Finally.....been working allot lately and have been out of the loop FS-wise the past few weeks....great to see as Alaska is one of, if not my favorite, areas to fly, and without UT have not flown it at all since FSX (Except Tongass, that is).
 
Got it installed last night! Didn't have a whole lot of time to check it out, but I am anxious to get home tonight and try it out... I did find something though, that in Windows 7 if the Terrain.CFG file is set to read only the setup/ config utility will not run right, not sure why my Terrain.CFG file was set to read only but unchecking it made the problem go away.

38m, multi-LOD. Unlike other Alaska mesh that is 38m, with NO LODs... :kilroy:

SRTM v2
 
Should I get this or Tongass X...

If you had the money for only one of them, which one honestly would you get first..?

Thanks for your input..

I think the only difference between versions 1 & 2 of FSGenesis is the sloped runway issue.

V2 has the runways adjusted as to not show up as plateaus. He has been working on Alaska for a while now. Lots of runways and just about all of them are sloped

Tongass by far since it is more specific and has more custom scenery.
