There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

As such it is extremely expensive, better to buy the individual regions which include landclass and buy GEX which is ok and much cheaper.
Those are my feelings on this.

Just wondering if you have priced the GEX products? I took a look at the four listed on the Flight1 web site and that came to $150.00USD. There's yet another on the way. It's not going to be free, either.

If you like it you'll buy it if you don't you won't...but you may eventually be persuaded by the many screenshots that will be forthcoming.
That is a excellent piece of advice. I'm only waiting to see some pics of the Canadian Arctic and Siberia. If there good im buying, im sick of global warming desert default in the Arctic Regions and the same for Cuba and South, Central and Carib America.
It sounds like we can use UTX on top of the orbx textures though, so I think it'll be OK. :mixedsmi:

Just sayin' ...... ;-)In the meantime you can STILL buy Ruud Faber's FScene covering the entire world with localized, 4-season texture replacements....... and for a lot less these days : http://www.fscene.com/
FScene FSX is a straight portover from FScene FS9, which means blurry low res textures, with less variations. Makes FSX look like FS9 :isadizzy:

Jeez Mud, for that kind of money I'd rather you didn't!!
Maybe tap dance but not strip!

Ya know you'd love it! But why don't we just skip it, like I'm going to do with that scenery addon.
My bet is that it will. It especially improves rural and wilderness areas considerably, and is much better than the default landclass, and even better than the one that comes with UTX. I run Scenery Tech EU with GEX EU and love it.

That's true but Ruud's Asia textures are the only ones which recognize the mere exitstance of rice paddies in Southeast Asia, my favourite flying area outside FTX regions.
That being said I have a wait-and-see attitude towards FTX Global. The way SEA looks and feels will be the deciding factor for me.
I believe FTX AU Red has quite nice desert textures, they just need to be less red. That's why I asked if their current texture assets will be color corrected accordingly. Interesting to see how they solve these 'issues'.
