July 12, 201312 yr Would anything they've done to develop FTX Global cause any issues with using the Terrain radar in the NGX and (soon) 777? Cheers, Luke - Luke Pabari
July 12, 201312 yr I am no expert, but I guess FTX Global will do no harm to the terrain awareness... since 1. FTX Global isn't about mesh, but rather about textures and maybe a bit of landclass and 2. the terrain awareness relies on PMDG's database, which is "independent" from FSX... Gabriel J. T.

July 12, 201312 yr Commercial Member Gents- We have no idea what you are talking about because there is no terrain radar... (Are you talking about terrain awareness? Yeah.... thats done using data, not radar... radar is unfeasible because you'd have huge blank spots behind any rising terrain. LOL) But to answer the actual question: No. Robert S.

July 12, 201312 yr I'm sure you're aware there's no mesh in FTX Global. But I see why you might be asking. Maybe there's extra tall autogen added that would not be visible in the terrain radar database? Unless its REALLY tall I don't think we need to worry about it. If it was a real problem I think orbx would have mentioned it. You should have collisions turned off anyway. I don't think you can hit autogen with it turned off Brent Baker

July 12, 201312 yr Author Awesome to hear lads - thank you all ^_^ (Are you talking about terrain awareness? Yeah.... thats done using data, not radar... radar is unfeasible because you'd have huge blank spots behind any rising terrain. LOL) Radar/Database..... same thing..... right.......... :Monkey: Maybe you'll realise the physiological effects of your glorious 777 torture!! :blink: :rolleyes: - Luke Pabari
July 12, 201312 yr Luke what you don't know is that the T7 is released, and we're all enjoying it...but your mind is stuck in the development phase still,you went a tad crazy waiting and your mind has gotten stuck in place and time. Basically PMDG fried your brain..oh well keep your chin up! Lee Year 2014 flying the 777

Sorry can't talk right now - in the car, white jacket next to me.. Mother won't say where we're going. She just said "Robert says it's for the best".... :( :Nail Biting: - Luke Pabari

July 12, 201312 yr Radar/Database..... same thing..... right These 'tutorials' are going to be 'sow ejumakatchonal'.... Probably because 99.9% of these so called 'tutorials' are created by spotty 14-18yr old lads with hoarse voices...with little explanation behind their methodology - they do the things the way they do 'just because' Steve Bell "Wise men talk because they have something to say.

July 12, 201312 yr Author These 'tutorials' are going to be 'sow ejumakatchonal'.... Niceeee low shot. But you obviously didn't get the humour.... it's alright - many loose that in time :biggrin: - Luke Pabari
July 12, 201312 yr Humour? Damn...I thought you were being serious? Would anything they've done to develop FTX Global cause any issues with using the Terrain radar in the NGX and (soon) 777?

July 12, 201312 yr Author I rest my case. Ohhhhh you're moaning at me because I called it a radar and not a database. My dear, sincere apologies <_< :lol: - Luke Pabari
