I'm very tempted to spring for the Ultimate Terrain X - USA scenery from Flight 1 Software after reading the review of the product in PC Pilot. Can anyone recommend it, or one they feel is better?

Thanks

Hi,

I use UTX USA, Canada & Europe along with GEX, FEX, FSGenesis & Scenerytech Landclass. (what more could you want Wink

)

I would never remove them. The difference they all make is amazing.

UTX has a bit of a hit on FPS, but set it up correctly and defrag afterward you should be ok, depending on your PC setup, CPU graphics card etc..

&&Q6600 (oc to 3.3ghz), P5KC, 4gb Corsair Dominator, Raptor 150gb, Seagate 500gb, XFX 8800GT

Should probably be in the payware section, but oh well.....

I've also been considering getting FEX, along with UTX.

I've got GEX, and i've been getting great performance, but i've been hesitating about UTX with the money, and the potential performance hit

UTX/GEX is a must have.. I have them all

if I can get P4 with a 256MB video card tuned for FSX/UTX over the internet, anyone can use it...

I believe his response was.. HOLY MOLY

Its about setting UTX up and understanding where the hit comes from which is night lighting and car traffic... everything else is minimal

How about FEX NickN? Do you recommend getting that, or another environment addon instead?

Went ahead and got UTX:USA. I've only flown a half hour or so with it, and even though I found a noticeable glitch, i'm still impressed with how much of a difference it's made in FSX Cheesy

There's now road traffic on the tarmac at Felt's Field, (KSFF) in Spokane, Wa.

I've got version 1.1, but I haen't been able to figure out how to check for newer version
