February 7, 201313 yr My request to the Flight1 Product page for GEX Version 1.09. PLEASE HURRY UP AND UPDATE YOUR GALLERY. Seems like this should have been done by now. Also, buy doing so might help boost sales of the most recent product.
February 7, 201313 yr It's amazing artwork, some shots: Thanks for the images! Those field textures look wonderful, and remind me of the textures surrounding FlyTampa LOWW! I would love having them near FSDT LSGG and LSZH, as the current transition from default to payware colors and resolution is severe. I do agree with Jeroen that the urban textures seem excessively busy. Perhaps autogen and more-prominent terrain can lessen the unnatural chaos?

Also, buy doing so might help boost sales of the most recent product. Their unwillingness to show off the product is odd, and has kept me away from trying it. Then again, Flight1 will give you your money back, but not time wasted if it stinks. Thanks to all who provided screenshots. Nice to see the real deal once in a while, and not just read the yada yada. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
February 7, 201313 yr Their unwillingness to show off the product is odd, and has kept me away from trying it. I wouldn't say unwillingness. Perhaps neglect, as with so many products, constantly updating web site information is challenging and easily overlooked. Regardless, I am grateful to the user that posted screen shots.
February 8, 201313 yr Lots more screenshots in this GEX development thread: http://www.simforums.com/forums/closed-gex-europe-and-other-regions-updates_topic41657_page1.html
February 8, 201313 yr I installed it this morning and am very pleased with it. It just goes to show that you should manually check for updates every now and then. Specially if you don't frequent their forums. Most software does this automatically so you get lulled into thinking that because it hasn't told you anything there is nothing new.
February 8, 201313 yr Noticed this may help others on the upgrade The v1.096 upgrade is free for GEX North America. Installation of any ONE of these three GEX regions: GEX Africa and the Middle East - v1.20 GEX Atlantic and Pacific Tropics - v1.10 GEX Asia and South America - v1.0 ....will automatically upgrade GEX North America from v1.096 to v1.099 Rich Sennett
February 8, 201313 yr Lots more screenshots in this GEX development thread: http://www.simforums.com/forums/closed-gex-europe-and-other-regions-updates_topic41657_page1.html Thanks for the link. Looking good. That salmon/pink stuff in the mountains looks strange though. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
February 8, 201313 yr Lots more screenshots in this GEX development thread: http://www.simforums...1657_page1.html Nice shots but where is the diversity. I would like to see some shots of major metropolitan areas like KSEA maybe. The west coast is a very popular simming area. Bob Officially retired

February 9, 201313 yr Looks quite plausible to me, thanks for the picture. The only thing that makes it a bit strange is that the roads on the ground textures don't match at all, but since that's not possible with landclass textures, I'm pretty sure I'll get the new version. Florian
February 9, 201313 yr so the 1.096 Noticed this may help others on the upgrade The v1.096 upgrade is free for GEX North America. ....will automatically upgrade GEX North America from v1.096 to v1.099 So I take it the great improvements are only with the 1.099 and very little to do with the 1.096, which BTW I have had done. And to get the better ones you have to pay for another zone, like pacific or another... right? allen
February 9, 201313 yr The only thing that makes it a bit strange is that the roads on the ground textures don't match at all, but since that's not possible with landclass textures, I'm pretty sure I'll get the new version. I've actually been flying GEX/UTX with all the UTX roads disabled for quite a while, so the only roads I see are those in the GEX textures which of course fit in perfectly. I thought at first this would be a problem e.g. with VFR navigation, but I really haven't missed the 'accurate' roads at all. And the terrain looks so much more natural and realistic (not to mention the fact that I'm probably getting better performance). But you're right that all generic texture products (including the upcoming FTX Global) will suffer from this problem.
