Any rough idea on how long it takes to download?
I see there is a download with dvd delivery option, might be worth it to get a backup copy in case something happens to hard drive or download process.

Paul, that's sort of like asking how long it takes to eat dinner. It sort of depends on you - or rather, your internet connection in this case. I've got a decent 60Mb/s cable connection, and I downloaded all 4GB+ in about 20 minutes. Your mileage most certainly will vary.
If you are going to quote me, use the full sentence.
Don't cut and paste things to make up something I did not state in an attempt make me sound like I don't know what I was talking about, sport.
I am quite aware of what UTX does, I WAS referring to the landclass portion of it and making a comparison to Orbx upcoming OpenLC addons they have been talking about.
Got it?
How does global work with megascenery ?
Took me about 2 hrs to download, with DSL. Installing now...
MB: GIGABYTE GA-X299 UD4 PRO ATX
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ Processor i9-10900X Ten-Core 3.7GHz
MEM: 64GB (8GBx8) DDR4/3000MHz Quad Channel
GPU: RTX 3080 Ti 12GB GDDR6
OS: Win 10 Pro 64bit
HP Reverb G2
It won't work with megascenery... megascenery is textures... global is textures...
Well my wife just bought it for me as a early B-Day Pressie. installed and now flying around Cuba and it is just as Cuba should be as I remember. Will have to try out my Canuk Stomping grounds in NWT and Nunavut and US stomping grounds around Green Bay and NE WI and Yupper land. Now as a penalty for getting my pressie early IO the wife a new Kitchen remodeling err.

It certainly looks very good! Can those of you guys who already bought it post a screenie of your favorite spots? That would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the downloading time replies.
One other question.
Is it recommended to remove any landclass items (eg. SceneryTech and others)?
Well I bought it and so far have downloaded 3 times and upon trying to unzip it get the same message:
The Compressed(zipped)Folder is invalid or corruped.
sent and email to the FltSimStore so hope the will straighten it out.:isadizzy:

Reddog, if you'd like, download WinRAR and use that to unzip it (you don't have to pay anything for it). I've noticed with the really large .zip files, such as from ORBX, the regular windows unzipper won't work for me and it will throw up that same message - where as WinRAR has no troubles, with the exact same .zip file.

Leaving KGFK to the south:
Grand Forks
Duluth :
All sliders at max (no road traffic). Rex weather (the theme i mean). DX10. (i see no problems so far, Roger) Average fps 50/60. Sliders at max not advisable over big cities Like NY, SF, London, Paris, etc. Atleast not with my medium system. ( i7 980x @ 3.33 Ghz, GF GTX480, 12GB ram. W7pro64)
Best thing since FSX sliced bread if you ask me.
cheers,

Wow...great looking textures. If you have add-on converter x maybe it's converting textures on the fly?

A temporary fix for Dx10 is: go to (FSX Directory)/Scenery/Global/scenery/ and rename file 3D_Light_NEW_DDN_1_5.BGL to 3D_Light_NEW_DDN_1_5.BGL.bak
I post this verbatim from ORBX forums.
After seeing all the screenshots I had to buy
They reccomend a download manager so after some Googling I found a freeware program from Orbit: http://www.techsupportalert.com/best...ager.htm#Orbit

Just jumped on the bandwagon and bought this...but it'll be tonight or tomorrow before I get a chance to install it.
In the meantime can anyone who has it installed post some pics from Ireland,please?
I'm using the Irish VFR photo sceneries at present and am curious how Global looks in the region.

Looks tempting for sure. Are "all" airports (small single runways) more realistic in ORBX and are without the default "40,000" acres around them.
It is a bit expensive - I'm replacing my HDD for a SSD this month so ORBX will have to wait till next month.....
Thanks
David
Same here Pepere....a bit pricy.
I will make the investment, but need to finish the build first.
Also, I still need to catch up with their other products....I'm falling behind!!! Help!!
Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."
I am curious to see how this works in Asia, could anyone please post some screenshots of favorite long-haul destinations like Bangkok, Bombay, Goa, Singapore or Hong Kong?
Cheers,
Sascha

Not sure what you mean, Roger... ?
I suppose the DX-10 fix is for nightflying only ? I haven't seen any DX-10 anomalies during the day... (haven't done any nightflying yet).
Here are some more screenies :

London:
Tokyo Narita:
Italy, Bolzano:
