FTX Global vs Aime Leclercq's free textures

[Dumonceau]

Yes, you must run FTX Central the first time... at that point, 'global' replaces default, you can then engage hybrid global mode, which activates all installed orbx regions, and global.. and you never need to touch it again.

FTXG is perfectly user friendly.

Wouldn't mess with injecting further textures... global's own forest and rock etc textures are gorgeous... you don't need Aime's ones.

FK, would you mind explaining how to engage hybrid global mode please?

Thanks in advance!

Its only 200 if you WANT those packs...

the base pack includes LC for Europe and parts of North America and Africa to fix bits, but you can use any landclass with it... I have scenerytech and its fine... you can use utx with it too... All good. And the other lc packs are cheap... 20$ a pop for areas you want rather than the whole thing. Doesn't seem that bad to me.

What I read was it was 2 editions of FTXS Global - $100 for the base pack then $100 to "subscribe" to get new fixes and releases of this pack.

We are offering two editions of FTX Global:

1. Base Pack, no monthly DLC content, only bug fixes - AU$99.95 | €77

2. Subscription Pack, monthly DLC installed from custom front end app, new landclass, airports and POI's added continually - AU$189.95 | €145


Additionally they will release landclass packages called openLC - these are $19 each

Have I read it wrong?

The base is 99$ yes, I guess the subscription pack is 'get everything as its done' But the Open LC packs are what you can get in the subscription... but it allows you to get just what you want not everything... Subscribing obviously is cheaper overall if you want it all.

As for fixes, the first patch is out and is free for ftxg base pack owners... so perhaps, perhaps not... the way I see it, I don't want some lc areas... so the subscription isn't worth it for me. so $20 per lc 'expansion' is fine. I'll be getting Africa, the Med, and Japan etc.. Depends what you want. It certainly doesn't 'have' to cost a total of $200.

is it worth it? Completely. Over all, its better than anything you can get.

Thanks KD!! Did just that and now I don't have to switch regions anymore. That is just brilliant!
