February 27, 200917 yr I've just reinstall FSX & Acceleration.Before I start adding all my addon scenery, of which there's quite a lot, I thought perhaps some 'before & after' shots might be usefull for those contemplating addons.What sort of locations do you think might best show the difference between default scenery and that after additions such as UT, GE etc?Thanks Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)

February 28, 200917 yr Author I'm still new to flying around fsx but for me the moment to splash out oodles of money to buy scenery came when i flew to mexico. south america and mexico are terribly done in fsx. if you can get a few shots around the yucatan peninsula (around cancun...which doesnt exist in the default scenery), peru (around cuzco) etcim sure add-on scenery would make a difference to a lot of places.Apart from FSGenesis mesh, none of my addons cover Mexico. If you don't have any addon mesh, it would be my suggestion to go that route before ANY other scenery addon. FSGenesis v2 mesh for Mexico will improve the terrain.I too would love to see more stuff done for Mexico, as I once sailed the entire Pacific coast. You're quite right, FSX does it no justice at all?

Even my home location is precise with new interchanges shown yet only constructed within the last two to three years. Old enough to know better... ...young enough to do most of it again!

February 28, 200917 yr I tend to stay away from big airports and think the greater differences are visible out there in "fly-over" country.
