Those last two are gorgeous Larry!  Shocked

Is that just UTX, or is there another addon running with it for the ground textures?

Thanks Shane.  Smiley
UTX, GEX, & REX. I think GEX did more initially for the ground textures, but UTX improves the autogen, bridges, roads, waterways, etc. And as you can see, a huge improvement on sand beaches. Smiley And I have been able to keep road vehicles set around 13%, which Nick says is a pretty big hit on FR. But I really enjoy seeing the road traffic, both from the air and when I am still/back on the ground. After installing UTX, my frame rates dropped to between 13-24 in congested areas and 20-30 in rural areas, which I can live with. Most of the time it runs really smooth now. I just wish I could turn ground shadows back on. Every time I do, even in window mode, it locks up and I get a message saying my video driver has crashed and recovered. Only it doesn't unlock and start working right again. So, I leave shadows off unless I want a particular shot and then I pause before turning it on, take the shot and shut down FS.

I was also really pleased to find that UTX USA included Hawaii. I'm not sure about Alaska yet.

I know the answer, but why can't they make these things for the whole planet?  Roll Eyes  Sad  Angry  Grin

As Jordan would say, "I has it all now?"
I may not have it all, but it's a dang sight better than a year or so ago. And I am pleased for the most part.

Johnny was a smart fellow. Wish he was still around and healthy.  Sad
