Hi Guys

 

I currently have FTX GLOBAL running in conjunction with UTX Europe.

 

My understanding is that FTX Vector is a direct replacement/competitor for UTX, with the difference that it covers the entire world and not just a specific region.

 

Now, the question is, considering as I fly almost entirely in Europe, is there any point me getting FTX Vector, or is my UTX Europe doing the same job?

 

Or is it worth getting both and running alongside each other (is this even possible) so that when I do venture outside of Europe, I have a better environment?

 

I guess the question is does FTX Vector do anything WITHIN EUROPE that my existing UTX Europe doesn't do?

 

Many thanks

I had tried both. FTX Vector covers all the world, but includes only main roads and highways. UTX is much better with this. On the other hand roads in Vector are made from more vertex, so they look better (more curvy). It seems that Vector has better detailed coast lines, forests etc.

 

In my opinion it would be great to have more minor roads in Vector. It's a pity that you can't buy it only for Europe but with more detailed roads.

Thanks.

 

Given how customisable UTX is, is there any reason why you can't run the two in conjunction and just have secondary roads and land class enabled in UTX, and leave Vector to deal with the rest?

 

If so would you need UTX above or below FTX Vector in the library, or would it not matter?

As long as Vector is below all of the UTX entries including the UTX "Excludes", UTX will completely cover the areas its made for and Vector will cover the rest of the globe... in theory anyway.

 

I've heard of other using UTX and Vector together without issues!
