OrbX FTX Global

...to Orbx--looks like a great product. The price is the price (based on R&D, production, and marketing costs). Or put another way: It's easy to forget its a business, and no profits = no new add-ons.

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.

This is exactly one of the things NOT included...

It sounds like we can use UTX on top of the orbx textures though, so I think it'll be OK. :mixedsmi:

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/ Just sayin' ...... ;-)

FScene FSX is a straight portover from FScene FS9, which means blurry low res textures, with less variations. Makes FSX look like FS9 :isadizzy:

For that kind of money I'll strip.

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.

I'm wondering if Scenery Tech's landclass would improve the look of ORBX Global Lite? Anyone have their products?

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 am most concerned about their desert textures if they are using their current texture database...

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'.
