After looking at theses addons on the internet and through forums I am heavily intrested in these.

What I would like to know it a final clarification of what each does (even though i sorta do, I just wanna make sure), the install order of them if I do go ahead with them and if they actually work together.

Thanks Smiley

If you are going to use them all together, don't expect to get more than 3 FPS, unless you have a supercomputer. Smiley

I use them all together, I don't have a super computer (Pentium D 3.2 Ghz) and my frames are locked at 24.

If you do get them all, follow Nick's advice on setup tips for UTX in the GEX forum as road traffic and city lights will impact your frames.  He also explains how to install UTX with GEX so UTX takes full advantage of GEX.

Ground Environment X (GEXn) – Landclass Textures – Desert, mountain, low lands, wet lands, vegetation, rocks, etc.

Ultimate Terrain X (UTX) – Roads, railroads, rail yards, coastlines, rivers, streams, lakes, cemeteries, golf courses.

FS Genesis – Terrain mesh, accurate detailed terrain, renders mountains high, valleys low, ravines, mountain peaks, etc.

SceneryTech -  Landclass, put things where they should be, ice/snow in the Arctic Circle, sand in the desert, cities where cities should be, etc.

I have all and I installed them in this order: FS Genesis, UTX, Scenery Tech, GEX.

FS Genesis has two products, mesh and landclass.  I use the mesh.  If you get Scenery Tech do not buy FS Genesis landclass since Scenery Tech is landclass.

In your scenery library you will need to move the Scenery Tech entries between UTX "UT Landclass-Vegetation" and "UT Landclass-Urban"

You should go to the Flight1 support forums and read the treads about installing UTX and GEX.
