March 5, 200818 yr Folks,Just letting all interested people know that Full Terrain Experience or FTX is being released at around 10Pm AEST (in Australia) or around 7:00 Am for the USA East Coast 05 March. Their forum indicates that the relevant file/s are being uploaded to the mirror servers right now (http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=1166.0;topicseen)!They refer to this program as a revolution and their screenshots are outstanding (go to http://fullterrain.com/gallery.html). Viva La Revolution. Cannot wait to download this one for FSX!Paul
March 5, 200818 yr Hi Paul,I wish FTX a lot of success. But to be honnest I am a bit dubious about this product when I see the screeenshots you qualify as outstanding.Is FTX not supposed to be a TERRAIN enhancer?Most of the screenshots and videos (beautiful ones BTW) show nice skies, beautiful sunsets, view of an airliner cockpit, calm sea and very dark night pics ... and almost nothing about terrain textures.I don't understand where exactly is the "Revolution" they speak about.But I may be wrong and I look forward to reading user's feedback.To say the least I wish their product is as good as their marketing strategy. - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.

Ignore the sky and cockpit, just look at the ground. :) Matthew S

I know they use FEX for the environment shots but it is actually the terrain I am most interested in (I use FEX and it is fantastic too). The terrain shots are phenomenal. I live in Australia and believe me, this FTX makes the terrain look just exactly how the Australian terrain really is!Paul

March 5, 200818 yr I also think you didn't see the terrain screenshots. They are amazing. I believe this will be a great addon. They should have started with Europe though, instead of Australia. I don't understand why they are not going to do South America (which in Brazil alone has more simmers than Australia), go figure...
