FTX England and GEX Europe

Featured Replies

Hi there, I have been away from the sim for a while. Now I am returning, before I left I was having an issue with FTX England and GEX Europe, with the fact that with FTX england running GEX europe was blurry.

 

I was wondering, has there been a fix/update for this and if so where can I find it,

 

thanks,

 

Dan :)

FTX England should trump the GEX Europe textures. GEX Europe only replaces the default textures in FSX. It is not listed in the Scenery Library, therefore it has no affect until you leave FTX England areas.

 

Best regards,

Jim

But even when I leave FTX England areas GEX remains blurry. It was highlighted as a problem before as I remember reading it, I just can't remember where and they said they were looking into a fix for it so I was hoping they had fixed it...

Hello,

 

They have released a sevice pack and people have reported mixed results. On some systems the fix has helped. I personally don't mind blurries, so I'm not a good reference.

 

What worries me more are the terrain "problems" outside England when FTX England is applied. Sunken terrain around taxiways and runways, water coming through terrain and so on. When FTX England isn't applied, these problem disapear.

 

On their support forum, they have mentioned that the terrain problems outside their regions might not be fixable do to FSX limitations. You either get the great FTX quality inside their region and problems outside or you loose the "extra love" they but into their regions.

Like Jarkko said, sp1 helped some with blurries, but not for all.

 

My fingers remain crossed.. It looks cracking.
