What about those who has the UTX Europe product? or Had them.  is OpenLC Europe simply different or better? I am looking at the sale and ask the same question as the OP.  Thoughts?

It's mostly "different". I had most of the UTX products, but I got the bug to try Orbx, can't really say how they are different since I never actually compared them to each other. They each have their own idea on how to present landclass. I have not been dissatisfied with either one.

How’s the scenery down there with openLC SA? Thinking about picking it up myself.

I like it. South America is a huge Continent and will keep you busy along time. Cities look good and so do the jungle and mountains in you like bush flying in old aircraft. There are a lot of freeware airports available for SA as well.

Tell me about it. I flew SFO to Rio expecting a 6-7 hour flight, I got a 13 hour flight. Massive continent indeed.

Their OLC products are incredible! I have a fixed PMDG 737, 747, 777 habit and own all the ORBX range, except general aviation airports since I don't use those planes.

They're different classes of products--I use UTX Europe (same class as ORBX Vector) and OLC Europe together.

UTX is a vector terrain product--coastlines, water bodies, roads, waterways, rail lines etc, and land class is a digital map that defines the type of land usage for the landscape parsed into small blocks (tiles).

Definitely getting their OpenLC SA product now that it's on sale. Just wish there were version 4 airports for the big hubs down there.
