Rather belatedly I am considering installing these two programs. Whilst UTE gets mixed reviews, combined with GE-X things sound betterI seem to recall there is a recommendation re order of installation. Also is there any departure from the recommended install procedurewith WIN 7?MOBO. Gigabyte Technology EX-58UD3RCPU intel i7 920 3.0 Ghz.GE Force GTX 580 oc 3.0.regardsanamiv

Hate UT terrain in urban areas, but they improve a lot of geographic data like roads, rivers etc. Som city centers are just a bunch of reefers and have no houses. I've got it installed, but have manually disabled UT landclass.

I now use UTX pretty much only for accurate placement of water features and coastlines. Having installed GEX (EU), I now disable all UTX roads and railways because they overlay the GEX tiles and the scenery looks so much better without them IMO. And I use XClass Landclass and FSGenesis NextMap mesh which (with GEX) give me better urban and rural scenery.On my current XP system I installed UTX first, then GEX (quite a while later) and that worked fine. Not sure if it can be done the other way round, but there are some options in GEX you need to install if you are using UTX, so it makes sense to instal UTX first. I'm guessing same is true for W7, but as I'm planning to move to that system in the next couple weeks I'm sure I'll find out !

I did it the other way round (GEX first and then UTX some months later) and they seem fine. I'm on W7 as well.Edit: The night city textures from UTX I think, are a bit rubbish in Europe - they give everything a US style 'block' system (the lights and roads are just grids) and that just doesn't look right in Europe.
