December 8, 201015 yr In seeing another post around talking about excluding certain Canadian airports enhanced via UTX-Canada, from interfering with ORBX NWR elevation, I realized that I had not checked out for updates for some time, to all my UTX programs; USA, Canada, Europe, etc.Well...I was running UTX-USA v 1.2a or something to that effect. The current on the update page was v1.4I downloaded, patched, and fired up FSX to see the change around Myrtle Beach S.C, if any.ANY? ANY?....version 1.4 made a total remake of Myrtle Beach Int., adding out buildings, aircraft, trucks, you name it. It was an amazing transformation of what I had before. The countryside is also night and day. More graphics, and MUCH BETTER, detaled graphics to boot! This was almost like not ever even having UTX-USA on the system. The change is quite amazing. It will most likely cause me to pull my head out of the PNW area of ORBX and see what else v1.4 has added... :) This is good stuff! If you are not running v1.4.....go to download and apply it. You will be thrilled with the transformation of FSX in the USA outside of any ORBX scenery pack. I also updated my UTX CAN and Europe as well, with equal satisfaction.Just thought to give this head's up, as I was unaware that UTX-USA had been upgraded to v1.4.Post Edit: Here is the link to upgrade...http://www.sceneryso...nloads_FSX.htmlCheers,

December 8, 201015 yr I hear ya, but with all the ORBX stuff right now... I just don't have time to fly anywhere else but in there.. Ciao!
December 8, 201015 yr Author Thanks for the heads up Mitch :--)But I don't see where to download 1.4 version from.Could you provide a link please?David, I just added the link via edit to my O.P.Enjoy...you'll be amazed at the difference. you might even do as I am doing and take a small break from ORBX to stay in touch with the rest of the U.S.A , Europe and Canada, LOL!Cheers,Mitch'er
December 8, 201015 yr Author I hear ya, but with all the ORBX stuff right now... I just don't have time to fly anywhere else but in there..Brian...truly, download and patch to v1.4 The whole of the USA outside of ORBX will be HIGHLY upgraded, airport property as well as great textures, city, rural, farmland, etc... all greatly enhanced over previous versions of UTX.One thing though, if you have ORBX NWR, you need to turn off the enhanced Canadian airports that the new UTX-Canada v1.2 gives you, so the UTX-CANADIAN elevation does not conflict with ORBX's for those airports. You do this within the UTX-CANADA v1.2 set up program. That is of course if you also have UTX Canada and upgrade that as well. If only UTX-USA and UTX-EUROPE, then that does not concern you, or anybody else. Here is a link to the topic.....but you need to log in, to read it.

December 8, 201015 yr Can anyone provide links to some good screen shots, preferably before and after?Thanks!
December 8, 201015 yr Do we have to run the GEX ugrades for UTX (within GEX menu) after having installed UTX patches? I ask because the UTX patches are probably newer than the latest GEX updates.ThanksHarry - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
December 8, 201015 yr Author Do we have to run the GEX ugrades for UTX (within GEX menu) after having installed UTX patches? I ask because the UTX patches are probably newer than the latest GEX updates.ThanksHarryHarry, I didn't. I merely upgraded to v1.4 and then defragged the system. I found all the visual upgrades without having run GEX-UTX USA and Canada again. I don't know if I should, but haven't to date. I actually don't want to, lol, in that it might screw up the new eye candy...! I wouldn't want that, lol! BTW, if you have ORBX PNW etc, always keep FTX Central on North America no matter where you fly in the U.S. and Canada. You will then get the great ORBX trees outside their normal ORBX influence. They look really good down in my other haunt, South Carolina.Mitch
December 8, 201015 yr Thanks, Mitch,that's what I wanted to hear.Harry - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
December 9, 201015 yr Mitch,Thanks for the reminder. I tried downloading the patch when it was first released, but it was downloading way to slow. I canceled and forgot all about it.I hope that KFRG was fixed. Cars drive inside the airport. MSFS
December 9, 201015 yr So no screenshots?Here's what my Myrtle Beach airport looks like, pretty default IMO... With GEX USA also.Dunno what it looked like before, but doesn't seem to be a big facelift IMO.
December 9, 201015 yr Does anyone know if I need to disable ORBX and run the GEX USA installer again?Thanks for that screenshot, looks good.
