August 4, 201510 yr Confused on whether I need fs global ftx version or fs ultimate the Americas? Kevin Humphryes
August 4, 201510 yr Depends you your goal. The global product is as the name implies: Global. The Ultimate packages are for regions and have higher resolution. I fly long routes but I am based in the US so I have both the global version and the Americas to improve the region I am most familiar with. I started with just global and added Americas a few months later and one of these days will add some of the other Ultimate packages. There's no frame rate penalty, and not much impact on VAS (textures us tons more than mesh). Only impact I've noticed is load time. Dan Downs KCRP
August 4, 201510 yr Author Thanks for that! What about compatibility with P3dv2 ( the Americas)? Kevin Humphryes
August 4, 201510 yr All mesh is compatible with p3d - for the very best mesh ofx mega mesh for the US cant be beat - but they only have a mega product for the US Rich Sennett
August 5, 201510 yr Rob, how much increase in load time do you have witrh OFX...I still use a mech. HD. Ron Hamilton "95% is half the truth, but most of it is lies, but if you read half of what is written, you'll be okay." __ Honey Boo Boo's Mom

August 5, 201510 yr Indeed, I've got FSG2010 for FTX, but I dont even install it anymore, Freemesh has more detail, especially in the areas that are mostly flat. Buy a nice aircraft instead and go for the freeware mesh. You can find downloads in the freeware section from Avsim. Cheers! Maarten
August 5, 201510 yr Author That's great news thank you guys. So assuming it's compatible with P3D and Orbx? And is it hard to install ? Kevin Humphryes
August 5, 201510 yr Actually, neither of those products are "mesh" products, rather they are replacement terrain textures with autogen and updated night lighting. I have used both and personally prefer the FTX Global Base product. You will get a variety of answers here... so personal preference definitely rules. For terrain mesh I use the Pilot's FSG2010 Mesh for FTX. As the name states, it works very well with the FTX global products.
