October 5, 201015 yr If I run all of these scenery addons simultaneously on my FS9 install, do I have to re-install FScene and REX every time I run GEPro? Does GEPro overwrite the same textures as FScene and REX? I know GEPro installs it's own sky textures, which would overwrite REX's sky textures, but does it overwrite any other of REX's work?Right now I run GEPro, and it installs the appropriate ground textures. Then I re-run the FScene.exe install because I like the autogen. THEN I reinstall REX textures because I like their sky, water, and cloud textures, and THAT takes a very long time to run. After that I re-install Soft Horizons. (Whether or not I use and reinstall any part of Bird's Eye View really depends on my mood and time constraints for that particular flight, but I don't want to go there right now.) And I haven't even fired up FS9 yet! :( If I could just eliminate at least the REX re-install, it would make keeping my latest GEPro install a bit easier. As always, thanks for your help, folks!

October 6, 201015 yr You don't have to run REX at all....again. I use all those add on's you mentioned. Maybe, if you want to use another sky or cloud texture. I see that you use Soft Horizons, than...no need for REX again. My Specification: I CAN RUN FSX IN MAX SETTINGS....i don't care about dell, bell, amd, intel, 60000 wats power supply or alien made graphic card....

October 6, 201015 yr Hello ChuckThe Ge Pro will overwrite to FScene textures as the are using exactly the same filenamesYou will know when you are using the FScene textures as everything will have gone bright green :(
October 6, 201015 yr Author Hi, maddog! -- good to hear from you -- and thanks for weighing in on this topic! I must say that, after a couple of years of being away from GEPro. it makes the ground look far more realistic even from 10,000 feet than FScene or Bird's Eye View, or even Ultimate Terrain, ever did, don't you think so? I've used so many different ground scenery and/or autogen addons lately, it's getting hard to tell which one is more effective -- but fun I must say. Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.
