I'm trying to find the best NIGHT add on. I LOVE flying at night... It's about the only flying I do. What add ons do y'all think would be best? I did a little research but I couldn't really find what I was looking for. I fly around the south south west. AZ NV

Cap737,

 

I also fly mostly VFR in AZ for now.  Home is Chino Valley.

 

What scenery are you using for AZ?

 

I currently have UTX, GEX, and MegaScenery AZ installed, but still looking for more detail.

 

Roads are blurry.

 

i7-4770K, GTX-790, all SSds.

Hello Wa3pnt,

 

As of now I have nothing other then REX... As we all know that doesn't do anything for scenery. I still haven't done any of the basic .cfg tweaks yet either. I got a bit of money but am looking for one program to go with for right now... I see you use UTX and GEX along with another. If you had to pic from one of those for now what would you go with that gives you great night flying??

Well I wouldn't say it's GREAT night flying, but out of the three I'd go with MegaScenery AZ.

 

I had that installed before loading UTX and GEX, and IMO there is little difference after adding them.  Perhaps at high altitude, but I don't fly there.

Jon that makes two of us with regards to AZ and NV.

 

With regards to GEX or UTX for day, I cannot sort that out as I installed both at the same time.

RodeoGeorge

it’s all good guys, go on with your discussion

 

Nevada and Arizona will most likely will be rendered first

once we shift focus in two three weeks’ time
