July 7, 20178 yr It's not even a year since I upgraded to the latest version and paying some much money for what is basically a mesh upgrade is unjustifiable in my opinion.

July 7, 20178 yr Been flying over the 2010 mesh for many years and I got it going in P3D V4, maybe it is time for an update. Can anyone confirm if it is possible to download only certain sections at a time so that I can get the areas I fly over going first. I see no mention of that on the Pilots site. Johan Pienaar

While it is awesome to fly over all the fantastic terrain it's all quickly ruined when you see your airports sitting on hideous plateaus. True, but the elevation correction tool in Orbx Vector (not yet v4 compatible) usually does a good job of eliminating the plateaus and sinkholes! <p>Dassault Falcon, Lear, Embraer and Challenger and Cessna Mechanic.Broadcasting live from former Soviet Missile Silo.Rhys Legge

Vector's AEC only corrects a small amount of the problem airports, it still leaves thousands of others. Same with the flattening tool from Pilots, it may be included now finally but that's still an incredible amount of work. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024

Can anyone confirm if it is possible to download only certain sections at a time so that I can get the areas I fly over going first. I see no mention of that on the Pilots site. At least with Next Generation, you can (and must) download in sections (18 separate files actually). The download size for each section was 4GB except for one section that was rougly 1-2GB. I'm not sure how large 2018 is, but it may also require downloads in sections.

That's easy...Ultimate can render to LOD15 FTX-2018 can render max, to LOD 12. That's about it... Right now, The Flight Store shows a $30.00 premium for the Ultimate over FTX-2018. So right now, you will pay $10.00 AUD more, per LOD factor over LOD 12 of the 2018 version.
