I see the BEV Fall textures are out, but haven't seen any messages from someone who has tried them. Would be interested in comments from someone who has bought and flew the product. Thank You.

They're great! And it comes with a powerful configuration tool. This ones a no brainer purchase decision.Jeff

Ive decided to skip fall this year and go straight to winter. It will make a nice down payment on a new plane.

Very good! The BEV configurator II is easy to use. Now looking forward to winter.Ed

The BEV textures really do give FS9 new life. Go for it! At $12.00 per volume, you can't go wrong. Best regards, Jeff

not very useful because its basically winter most everywhere, except when it calls on some fall textures during other seasons it is nice to know I have them. I am also looking forward to winter and the night textures, I'm interested to see what they do with the night environment

Do you think BEV is worth it if you already have FSGenesis LC, USA Roads, and FScene with it's newer autogen patch? Wondering if BEV is better, or just different.Noel

It is actually too many choices for this old bird, so I have se it on the default BEV setting and it looks fine. My question is - If I get the Fall package too will FS recognize and choose the correct season or do I have to go into the configurator each time?Hope someone can answer this question, thanks in advance.AT

I do agree that the Configurator could use some more explanation as to how to get the best from it, with that many options. They said they were including the option to included other non-BEV textures as part of the menu selection, but they haven't done that yet, of if they have they haven't explained how to do it!

Still on the fence seeing how in about two more weeks nearly all trees will be bare here in the midwest. LOL,hope their winter textures don't come out in March. Heh he....David

FS will automatically recoginize the correct texture for the season, so you don't have to run the Configuator again after applying a theme for each season. (Right now, just summer and fall).If you do get the fall package, be sure to download the new version 1.02 of Volume I and and follow the instructions in the ReadMe file found in the download zip. Be sure to install the update even if you don't have VOl II :), but you will get some error messages if you don't and try to run Vol II.Tony=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]

Allcott,Any textures you have installed before installing BEV, be they default, custom, or any combination, are backed up to a folder called "Backup" in your Bev directory.In the Configuator, any texture that has a Bev option also has a "Pre-Bev" option as well. You can select that and apply it just like any other texture option. Any "Pre-Bev" option you pick will move the that texture number from your "Backup" folder and into FS when you apply the theme.If you wish to try a 3rd party texture after Bev is installed, you can manually copy it to the "Backup" folder. Be aware that this will overwrite whatever other texture are in the backup. You could also try installing a new texture directly into the proper FS folder. If you don't plan on keeping it, you can overwrite it with any other choice in the Configuator, including what's in the "Backup" folder.Ton=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]
