Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Ouch! Thanks, guys. Love the look of those regions, but not enough areas for me. I'll probably wait out P3D v4, or install FSX with my old UTX/GEX/mesh.
As I like to say, buy an ORBX region, and you'll never go back!

It requires a minimum of FTX Global Base Pack.
Got to ORBX, product pages. They tell you what the requirements are.
In my view, beside the fact that it is needed for other products, FTX GBP and GV is a a huge leap forward on it's own alone!
Best,

Haven't tried but I don't think there would be serious issues. When Global textures were first introduced there were even screenshots at ORBX website showing how it looked with UTX landclass. One should just make sure that if they use Global Vector, they disable any other vector product like the UTX vector elements.
On the other hand, the OpenLC products are not just landclass matrices. They include many landclass polygons defining detailed areas like parks, villages etc at their correct shape. They also introduce some additional textures I believe. It is the technique also used often in their region products. At least for Greece, for which I can compare the real case, this makes a big difference as you can recognize specific towns and villages along the way.
