tttocs ,I agree small areas to be sure,and expensive as well but I definitely find it a more absorbing/realistic environment to fly in , with P3d and Orbx  and good old genesis I have  found my stop point ,no more crashes ,spikes, flashes ,just a very good looking well performing sim ,everything I need ,and as for GEX etc they are not in the same class in my humble experience ,even if they offer P3d update for free I wont take up the offer 

Crikey, I didn't mean to open that EULA can of worms again! I used GE in FS9 and thought that it represented a significant improvement over the default textures, the availability of GEX was a lead story on the front page and that's what piqued my interest. From that story posted by F1, it's clear that the ongoing  licensing issues are causing some serious fractiousness in a few places (..and that's a really weird story, especially involving a member of staff).

Looking forward to GEP3D, and hoping that the extra development requirements mentioned in the first article don't push the price up too much.
