Black Marble worldwide nightlighting system is coming

first i will personally assure you that will not be the case!

FTX Global can remain installed regardless!
you can activate your regions as required by their manager,

there will be cases where certain setups will require manual fiddling with cfg files,
whatever those may be we can add later as a GUI option or external fix if its global,
we cant predict everyone's setup variations at this point or how we will handle each case!

generally speaking we all use a plain Sim platform as our test bed!
no developer i know uses third party with their development or considers any during development,

with that said there is nothing that cannot be fixed between our group of engineers or orbx's!

Thanks!.... Will put order soon. Until when is the discount? Aug 1st?

How would this work with FTX Vector instead of BM Vector?   Do you have any comparison shots against FTX Vector?

Thanks, but I'm not quite sure I was understood.   I understand that you have a Black Marble Base, and a Black Marble Vector to provide vector data.   One can also get vector data from FTX Vector.   Would it be possible / logical, for those who already own it, to use Black Marble Base + FTX Vector?

from a strictly technical aspect the answer is YES!
that can be achieved with Black Marble!

Black Marble Vector data-set is WORLDWIDE!!!
why would you want to use a different data-set?

below our whole road network in TMFViewer Vector data comparison
Black Marble Native vs. P3D Native side by side,

(note we don't render roads without some sort of pavement while Native P3D does include dirt paths and such)

our vector data is native to Sim and segmented in the same exact schema worldwide,

I'm loving the idea of this but I'd like to see some high definition screenshots.  I have only seen low quality screenshots and nothing yet which has made me say  'OMFG!, yes please!'

I have just spent a very frustrating half an hour trying to buy Night Environment GB. I finally managed to do so,however i have no way of downloading and installing it! It has got to be the worst possible website design, I am unable to log in, a total shambles and I will not be purchasing from them again. I have raised a support ticket and will see ehat happens. Not impressed so far.
