OK guys some factoids ...

 

- Price is AU99, which is USD90, €69 or £60 - the AUD has taken a beating recently, which is good for you guys I guess

 

- Installer is download only, no DVD. Size = ~4.7GB. Size on your HD is about 9GB

 

- We do a backup of everything, including Scenery\World\Texture and we'll have an uninstaller as well. To do comparison shots, simply swap the Scenery\World\Texture folder names around yourself.

 

- We ship out of the box with a new "Hybrid Mode" for FTX Central - this allows you to install FTXG and keep it active in hybrid mode and fly between USA, Europe, Australia, NZ without ever touching FTX Central again. If you find any incompatibilities using this mode in our FTX regions simply select them in FTX Central for full-compat mode and fly within the region. So yes, you can install FTXG and never use FTX Central again if you wish.

 

- This does not replace UTX, keep that installed  FTXG will work with any LC product like SceneryTech, FranceVFR TrueLS, etc. 

 

- Our openLC folders are not bound to our FTX folders, allowing you to move them anywhere in your scenery library "pie" layer to combine with other LC products

 

- Our openLC uses OSM data and a whole bunch of other data sources. It will not compete with UTX, it will just produce the best LC we can make. We likely won't cover the world with openLC by the end of this year, that will take us into 2014.

 

- We are not in the mesh business except for the stuff we integrate into our FTX regions. Get FSGeneis or FSGlobalX etc

 

- We should have this released before the end of July

 

 

 

 

 

Hi John

 

I would like to know - in the videos on the website -

 

1) who's computer was used?

 

2) what were his/her specs?

 

3) what other addons were used?  AND

 

4) what tweaks have been applied?

 

Also just to clarify - FTXG is NOT compatible with GEX (as it replaces textures), but IS compatible with UTX FSGenesis NEXT map Europe, what about airport addons?

 

 

regards

Check one of the topics where the video's were posted first and see John Venema's sig. It's all in there. The video's themselves tell you if things are different then in his sig (like using ENB or not). Afaik most if not all video's were filmed with an iPhone to make it clear that what you see is what you (can) get and no tricks are used to make things smoother (although you should note the default ultralight is used: if you are flying the 737NGX performance may drop a little... ^_^ ).

Et cetera.

 

Of course you can use airport addons, just like you can with default FSX. If they fit in well has to be seen (color wise and so on) but I think they will look fine.

^{Hi Jeroen,}

 

^{Thanks, I shall have a look.}

There is no conflict with the unique UTX textures, Holger has ensured this is the case. Our lclookup.bgl mods preserve all the UTX custom classes.

 

 

I'll put up some of Puerto Rico on our preview forums later today.

Thank You!!!

Approximately how many GIGS will this new program from ORBX require?  Anybody have an educated guess on this?

Read the post above from JV today. ~4.7 compressed (download), ~9GB in HD space needed.
