Hopefully there will soon be a solution for DVD owners like me so that I can enjoy the improvement of the new version, too.

Yeah, I'm in the same canoe, Dieter. Anybody care to guess how long it will take Flight1 to decide what to do with us and then actually do it? I've had my request in since last Sunday and am ready to respond whenever they say the word! There's a lesson here someplace.:jump:

I'm still using the 1.8 version and although they say that even a caveman (!) can do the job, I'm very reluctant to uninstall what I have. To me it looks like a major (system) surgery and I don't even know if the other scenery add-ons that I have (like UTX or Mega Scenery, or some Blue Sky Scenery) need to be removed and re-installed.
I am dowloading 1.09 right now, but probably it will take a while before I find the courage to tamper with my sistem,
but I might be wrong.......:isadizzy:

Ezio, Use caution if you didn't buy directly from Flight1 originally. They are still firming up their policy about what to do with users who got their GEX from another vendor. Check into this BEFORE uninstalling your working version.

I am a caveman when it comes to fsx and I can report gex 1.09 downloaded and installed with no problems on my end.
 
Thanks Stan for the advice. :icon29:

I did buy directly from Flight One (direct download), but my concerns are in order:
1) will the key still work?
2) what about the other add-ons, do they need to be deactivated beforehand?
3) is there a correct add-ons rank (with respect to GEX) to be respected?

sblzei,

I can not answer you for the key as I just bought the product. However, there is no issue at all with other addons as GEX is a texture set replacing the default textures. You can install it anytime. It's a good idea to describe your case to their forum and get a reliable answer from Nick or Anthony.
 
Just wanted to share with you some shots over mount Rainier and over Portland city from my trip in the states. Check out the rock textures:

Salt...

Thank you, Dimus - those are supurb photos. Please forgive me, however, if I say that they are like rubbing salt in a wound - I am very frustrated with Flight1 about now having waited over a week for them to decide what they are going to do for those of us who purchased GEX from a vendor other than Flight1. And we are still waiting - and it looks like we will have to continue to wait once they decide what to do with us in order to go through some sort of cd exchange. All of this for a free update - free, that is, except for cd postage.
 
I can feel your pain Stan. I did not own 1.08 so it was a brand new purchase and direct download for me. and I've been having too much fun with it so indeed this must be salt on woulds for you. Personally I had very good support from Flight1 up to now so I trust a solution will be found soon.

Actually, I agree with you - in a sense. Most of my purchases of Flight1 products since I got GEX have been from Flight1 directly, and I have had no support problems with those. That's why this one has been such a shock.

Customers second class

I really wonder how long we, the customers of the DVD version, have to wait for a solution, getting our DVD changed or any other method for this update?

We are not customers second class!!!
At this time I'm very dissappointed about the service, Flight1 is offering to us.
