Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Those last two are gorgeous Larry! Shocked

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

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.

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

Thanks Bob.

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
