GEX, UTX, FEX, etc. with photorealistic scenery?

Featured Replies

Hi, this is my first post. Just wanted to say this is an awesome forum, I have learned so much, thanks!I like to fly with photorealistic scenery and have many free and payware scenery and I'm now developing my own scenery for areas I like that are not covered by other add-ons yet. I'm hoping I'll be able to release these sceneries as freeware, but don't know about copyright issues and such yet.My question is what types of add-ons are useful with photorealistic scenery? I assume products like GEX and UTX are pointless since the photo scenery would just cover up what they provide. But what about road services and such? On the other hand, I assume FEX would be a great add-on since it wouldn't affect the scenery.Right now, I am pretty happy with the 1.2m/pixel scenery I have. It looks great. The scenery I am creating is also 1.2m. How much of an improvement will I see with new meshes? I was looking at NextMap's ProMesh and it looks great, the only issue being I can't afford to purchase all the US states I would like just yet. Are there any other payware or freeware meshes that cover the entire US?Thanks again

The only thing that will improve photo scenery is mesh. Mesh will define the terrain, ridges, valleys, mountains, etc. will be more distinct. I have FS Genesis mesh and flying over southern california with MegaSceneryX So Cal is amazing!If Justin still has any available you can get a Galaxy Lifetime Membership and after you pay for that all downloads are free. FS Genesis covers the world through multiplex downloads. The US alone has five or six files as I recall.For sky, clouds and water I use FEX.
