FSGlobal 2008 vs FSGlobal 2010

Featured Replies

Anybody tried both?I'd specially like to know if there's any performance difference between the two since 2010 uses some new algorithm... or is this just a commercial/marketing thing?I already own FSGlobal 2008 and I'd like to know if there is any point in buying 2010?

Those are some really nice shots! Did you maybe previously own FSGlobal 2008?I know that 2010 covers the whole (give or take) planet and that it has some utility for correcting wrong elevations... does this work? Is it hard (like in 2008)? I'm considering buying 2010 just for that option since a lot of airports in 2008 are in wrong elevation, hence valleys and strange shapes around some airports.

I recently upgraded from FSGlobal 2008 to 2010.The mesh data is of a higher resolution in many areas than in 2008.This link should explain more - http://www.fsglobal2010.com/indexA.htmWhether it's worth it or not depends upon how much value you place upon having accurate mesh.There is an upgrade discount path through their online shop at http://www.fsim.net.You just need to register your copy of 2008 with them to qualify. :(

Yes, I had FS Global 2008. I never used this utility so far. Tell me an airport with this problem and then I will test it there.

Does anybody know where i can purchase 2010 in download on the net.I know it will be a big download, but i dont mind.I suspect this product is cd and shiping only though.

No download possible. It's a HUGH package of 6 DVD's. A download would be approximately 20 - 25Gb. I bought my set through Aerosoft; had the package in house within 3 days!

Its big but its not huge, 25 gig would only take about 4 hours to download on my connection, assuming the server could cope of course. This is the reason why I went with FSGenesis as you can download it, it was just over 12.6 gig for everything they do and Justin's server coped fine allowing full download speed for my connection at all times.

Cheers, Andy.

i would also like to know that!as i got FS global 2008 here and i'm not that satisfied with it, so maybe FS global 2010 is an option OR, as i read about FSGenesis in this thread now, maybe genesis is the better option?

I own both FSGenesis and FSGlobal 2008 and FSGenesis is by far the better product. FSGlobal 2010 has increased its resolution in many areas and is a vast inmprovement over FSGlobal 2008. I do the the majority of my flying in the US so FSGenesis is still the product of choice for me (overall higher resolution in North America).Here some links to compare products:http://www.fsgenesis.com/Merchant2/merchan...egory_Code=SPCLhttp://www.fsim.net/fsglobal2010/indexA.htm

well, the comparison is about FS Global 2008 and FSGenesis! how would FS Global 2010 compare with FS Global 2008 AND FSGenesis is the question for me?!it would be interesting for me, if FSG2010 would finally have higher resolution for Europe, as neither FSGenesis nor FSG2008 updates European meshes.EDIT:Alright with data from http://www.fsim.net/fsglobal2010/intro.htm i've made a lil' table of comparison now (i.e. i just extended the comparison table from FS Genesis site). But this is a bit estimated:

Hey, guys!Could you tell me if this release, FS Global 2010, includes all the previously sceneries' meshes released by Aerosoft, for example, Lukla X ?I mean, I don't expect the whole scenery, but I hope the land mesh is the same.Can you confirm this? So I don't have to install this blindly.Thanks!

What about this tool for correcting elevations... yesterday I saw somewhere that this is actualy a demo version of another program.. this was a big downer for me. A demo? C'mon..
