Cool I may give it a try..... I like what i hear about the roads....

Yeah, I know how you feel. ;) I bought UTX Europe last week and I'm having BIG fun flying around above my own region (the Netherlands) with the Ultralight, following roads I know by heart: I REALLY have the idea I am THERE! It all is exactly as it is! I can REALLY fly VFR now! It has changed my simming life completely. And I don't even have GEX yet... :( It's going to be even better when GEX Europe will be released!Funny side effect is that I am constantly having 'revelations' about how things really are down there: I suddenly see how other roads I use connect to again other roads, or how the distance between or placement of certain places is totally different than I thought it was: I notice I am passing things while driving there that I didn't know where there or that are closer than I thought, etc. etc. If you know what I mean. ;) You get a totally new insight in everything once you see it from high above! It's great.

UTX is one of the "cornerstone" add-ons to MSFS. In my book it is a mandatory purchase.There are a certain number of add-ons that design the "base" from which the simulated experience is elevated to wonderful heights, no pun intended, and without them MSFS would simply not be the same or anywhere near, 'as real as it gets'.Jeff and Allen did a wonderful job with the X series. Their continued support of the product line far past release and attention to customers continues to establish and maintain UT as one of the all-time 'best'. No sim should be without it.

Well I Got It! and with the Defualt install option it dropped from 6-7 frames. I am locked at 20 but then got 14-13 , I am going to play with the settings some.

What did I do Wrong..... I was in Charleston KCHS and the ocean was turned to dirt. and most of the cooper river and ashley river was gone.... HELP

Whew,,,,, Been tweaking some on UTX.... I have to say wow along with the original poster. I really like the roads being in the right place. Maybe someone has allready figured out the best settings for UTX. If so please post your finding...

Night Lighting.. main roads OFF, intersection ONpersonal preference.. turn off glaciers, railway yards, highway interchanges... allows better autogen placement in my opinionThen change these items...

You should be on version 1.20b, if so, you should be good to go

There is truly no really 'best' settings that can be posted. My 'best' is only subjective to your view on what is 'best'.Tweak away...and have a blast. From yesterday, I have brought up my FPS from that Buttonville initial test approach to doing it the same today at 15-22FPS!!!Read the manuals...tweak, fire up FSX--see result (subjective), and start the process all over.I just came off of a flight in a Baron from Charleston, S.C. to Kentucky-Cincinnati.Unbelievable what adding UTX and GEXnhanced to FSX has done. FSX is putting out, quite frankly, true-to-life images. FSX without this and GEXnhanced...is a dog! With it....a KILLER flight simulator. I haven't flown FS9 for two days....sheesh...

I can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. :) I use BEV with it, and that satisfied me, until I made the serious mistake of reading someones GEX-BLEW-ME-AWAY posting on this forum...and it had my fingers and right foot tapping away half way through the post. The wallet came out from the jeans about 15 minutes later as I did the Yeah?...Nah...Yeah?...Nah...Nah...Yeah! Yeah!... The last Yeah won it Nick. :)MitchThe rest is..er...'history'. :0

YUP!!! UTX and GEX Together really make a difference. I was flying around My Home Town and ALL ROADS where correct... (wasnt in RTM FSX) so I am a happy camper. I am still tweaking UTX may take a couple of nights.... *grin*

Either recipe for UTX Tweaking Success or disaster: Only YOU can decide...-----------------------Sip beer, put down beer, TWEAK, fire up FSX--observe, shut down FSX, pick up beer, sip beer, put down beer, TWEAK........until final TWEAK, or the 6 pack is empty. This could work, you know? I have used this tweaking system since FS98. It does really work..and you stay so relaxed....;)Mitch

The best tweak which you will find when you get your new system-at that point the only tweak is turn everything up full-utx,gex,fex,asx,mytraffic! http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1b5baf...b9f427f694g.jpgMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/
