They also sell a new UI for fs9/fsx which really looks cool and modern.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a fan; I have their new interface and love it.

Not too sure about the grass... might you shoot a few back to back with the freeware REX texture?

REX HD GRASS is just for fsx, does it work in fs9?

Very much so!

I have had it in my FS9.5 install (See below... one just can't leave well alone, eh?) for a long time, and found it the best so far.

Does REX HD roads also work in fs9?

Does REX HD roads also work in fs9?

 

No, just FSX.

 

As for the grass, nice, but I am not sure what to think since:

- there are freeware replacements available

- can you really notice it in the sim flying jets IFR?

- what is the size of the bmp compared to the default one?

Hello

The problem with most of these grass mods is that they alter the detail1.bmp in \Scenery\World\texture\

Resulting in an ugly cross of darker looking textures following your aircraft around, for that reason I will not use them.

Most good addon airports have pretty good grass textures these days anyway without needing to alter detail1.bmp

No, just FSX.

it's an .exe install program, i will check later the .bmp file(not home yet) Also i tried a few freeware grass files but wasn't too satisfied, AR Mod did a good job on the textures. At over FL100 and above the textures look good and up close they look like the pics.

wich one is it ? your link shows a lot of them..

The problem with a lot of grass texture replacements is that they appear out of scale and therefore tend to make the aircraft look like RC models.

That's why I wouldn't pay any money for what looks like wheat destroyed by hail!
