Gentlemen:Has anyone purchased this product? The preview package is in the avsim library now. I am wondering if this is any good. I also wonder if it works with all seasons and if it conflicts with UT USA. Does it also affect any other scenery add-ons.Sorry for my stupidity :(Thanks so muchTim

Hi Tim!I have UNE + UT (terrain) + UT (traffic)! To me, so far, no problems using UNE!I make most of my flights from KORD and it seems as if both the airport itself and the Chicago city have much better looks with UN pro as well at dusk as at night!And the enlightened cities at night are well worth the small amount of money!(But I have just made a couple of flights from KORD in summer!)So far, so good! I am happy with it!Haraldh

Another freeware goes payware.Mini review- Yellowish lights look less yellow and more of em.

The textures have a brightness to the whole image and does not seem to have much contrast. When I first saw the textures in my sim, it reminded me of ,FS2000 default textures for night. I am not satisfied with the product at all.Infact, I am deleting it off my system.

2 bad reviews and 1 good. Any others?RegardsTim

I've got it and really like it.It's perfectly compatible with UT that uses its own textures, and it covers the whole world.Towns and cities look nice, maybe too "orange" but much better than the default textures.Airports are enhanced as well and so are autogen buildings.The only thing I don't like is the road lighting but you can keep your previous files for that.For the (small) price, a nice addition to our FS9.best regards,David in jerusalem

>2 bad reviews and 1 good. Any others?>>Regards>TimI think that for $18 its not bad. I don't think that it will match the what Ultimate Terrain (UT) has to offer, however, I am happy with it. Hope this helps. Scot

As a real world pilot, I think the textures are quite realistic. The textures look every bit as good as in the screenshots. It's so much better than the default textures which were pretty bland, IMO.For less than $20, it's not a bad addition to FS.-John.

What are the differences between this payware package and the freeware une.zip and neu.zip packages by the same author in the file library?

NEU.zip enhances lighting for the default ground textures, auto-gen buildings, and default airports.UNE.zip enhances lighting for non-auto gen buildings, bridges, vehicles,lanmarks, and major airports (I believe).The payware version is a combination of these two packages but way better.-John.

Save your money and go get the free night textures by FScene.Here is a shot I took with them and UT.I did some moding to the textures but in general they are very good.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/126694.jpg

I use Chris Willis's generic night textures (freeware), available here on AVSIM. They are my personal favourites. Chris Arrington has also done some (freeware) which are very popular by all accounts, again available here on AVSIM.

Heres a little secret...if you plan on getting the BEV textures when they are released, the dev's have stated that they will be releasing a set of night textures for free sometime down the road. They supposedly look something like the Mega-Scenery night textures and if so...they will blow these ones away.
