Just been reading the new post by John Vienna at FTX forum(requires registration/login) about what they are calling "TextureFlow Technology.Worth a read. They really are an awesome outfit who are transforming flightsim.

How about a little quote for those of us who are not FTX forum members, or is it confidential information? :(

Outstanding!Here's a quote:"TextureFlow is a design/build stage Orbx tech which is used during the airport build phase. That means it's not a simple addon which you apply to any airport or scenery, sorry.As for a % performance increase, it's too early to tell, but doubling of FPS seems to be the norm using medium slider settings."and:"So TextureFlow does two big things: 1. Gets rids of texture drawing lag completely 2. Improves FPS for complex airports with large model libraries."

Waaaow!John and his team really rock!2010 will be a fantastic year for FSX :--)

I can't wait for Pacific NorthWest.

Great stuff - and sorely needed for YMML :(

Take a look as some of the new pics in their screen shots forum. Sick!That's a company that gets it. They fix problems fast and continue to improve their sceneries.I'm grateful for that.

Haha i tried registering and the password needs this and that and this and that. Ridiculous restrictions. Not like it's a bank site. Forget it!

FTX is not like FSX at all, but more like what FS13 or so might have been out the door. Texture flow will push it just that much farther beyond what anyone hoped was possible sometime in FS in the future. Don't have FTX or not interested? That's your loss, big time.This is a huge leap forward.Stephen

Huh? :( That hard to come up with a password that has a capital letter and some numbers. Your loss...Anyway, read the whole story and it sounds revolutionary. In fact, the only thing I'm a little sorry about is that it was a payware developer who came up with it, instead of it being a technology free for all FSX developers to use :(

Maybe they should be involved with the next flight simulator title :( Right now I only have the demo installed but I am planning to get PNW when it comes out. Not that I wouldn't want scenery for Australia, I just know I wouldn't get my money out of it. I also understand that they are going to do KSEA and I would bet they do KPDX as well - two scenery products that are right up my alley. Vancouver would make it a very complete package

I can't agree more. At every new addon, they push the FSX envelope further. Just go and have a look at their preview screenshots and videos forum to see what we are talking about, no password or account needed.

WOW those screen shots are crazy. I think I will support them by buying their full products. I think I only had the Blue package from a while ago. No desire to fly in Australia much as I don't know the land very well. I wish they did FTX for America

I don't work for Orbx and I don't get a commission for saying this:You are at a loss if you're not using FTX. It's the best money you will spend on scenery.This is if you really appreciate beautiful VFR scenery and excellent airports. Shimmering texture is non-existent. What does that tell you?They know what they are doing. They are the real deal.
