November 11, 201015 yr Moderator Has anyone tried Ft. Myers X photoscenery from Flight Sim Design? How well does it work with UTX and GEX?I haven't tried it, but I did buy the Miami X and Ft. Lauderdale X sceneries and was severly disappointed with the colors and lack of water masks near the beach. I'm not sure how Ft. Myers X compares to the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami package, but I was so disappointed in my purchase that I uninstalled it and moved it to the recycle bin after dropping $35 on it. It's too bad that after trying it and MegaScenery X versions of those two areas, no one has made some good Florida photo scenery with night textures.I give the kid credit for trying his skills. I talked to the fellow from Fligh Sim Designs a few times and he's only 18 or 19 years old, so maybe in a more years he will be the next creator of some great work, but for now I will not spend anymore money on his work. If he can do a better job of color correcting the photo samples and doing water masks for at least the beach/coast line it would be much better. I ended up reverting to some photo scenery I made with SBuilder X, altough it took me a while it looks much better than what I purchased.POST EDIT:I forgot that you asked how it works with GEX and UTX.The two areas I purchased worked fine because it covers the GEX textures, although the transition from the photoscenery area to GEX area was not very good because there wasn't really any blend masking. It pretty much just goes from photoscenery to GEX. UTX wont make a difference. If you have car traffic turned on the cars will still drive on the streets.
