GEX North America is an updated version of Ground Environment X USA/CAN and GEX Europe has been updated but is still called GEX Europe.They are sold seperately, so if you only fly in North America buy that one or if you fly in both North America and Europe, buy both.Everything you can possibly need to know can be found on their forum here: http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_topics.asp?FID=38

Thank-you Sir, I posted on that forum, still no reply. I seriously think AVSIM is the best forum.

You did? I looked on their forum and see no unasnwered post regarding that. Did you post in the right section?I like Avsim also and sometimes questions can be answered faster here just because I would imagine there are a lot more viewers on Avsim at anyone time than on other forums. In all fairness though, Simforums is really good to in responding to questions regarding the products they support. Sometimes it may take just a little longer to get a response.

It's a shame GE Pro for FS9 cover the whole world and the options for FSX cover regions. FSX needs updates the world over and it's a shame there's no options for that (unless I missed something).

FS2020 

Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC 16GB - Pimax Crystal Light VR 

SO let me get this write. I need GE North American for the USA and CAN...its the newest version and the GEX USA/CAN is old its been updated to North American?Jordan

Yeah it needs updates all over the world of which the current products dont do, however some of UTX Europes textures spill over into parts of South and Central America. I do a lot of flying in Brasil (Rio and Sao Paulo) and noticed that I had a new set of ground textures after I had installed GEX Europe. Worked out good because I fly in South America more then I fly in Europe. Same happen when I was flying in Central America.The good part of having regions, rather than having on set for the whole world like they did in FS9, is that they can customize them more for each region. Altough the bad part of course is how long it takes them to produce a new set for a new area.

Basically yes. When you buy it from Flight1 it should now come as GEX North America. Otherwise if you own the older version then you have to download and install the update.

It isn't a shame, when done correctly, FSX allows for much more region specific options. But I agree the rest of the world does need texture updates. They also need proper Ultimate Terrain coverage too!

HelloI really liked GEX USA, but I bought GEX Europe last week and can not bring myself to like the coloration at all.Nothing at all like most of europe, the greens used are not even close and the 3D effect is way over done.Looks somewhat better the further south you go, but for United kingdom and north western Europe it does notlook right.I really wanted to like this one but I am not convinced at all
