No problem! Obviously there is quite a bit more to it than that but we don't want to give too much away! Enjoy Greg

Hi Dave, 1. Only textures but the textures make the models now properly reflect their real-world counterparts. 2. Well now that would be telling! What I can say is that there's a lot of unnecessary texture calls in the default autogen library. Texture calls that lead nowhere. Those we've eradicated. This reduces both the poly count and the drawcalls. Greg

Thanks mate! That's right. All vegetation autogen is updated. The screenshots are just examples of what it looks like in different regions or when combined with other developers products. The TerraFlora installer only renames a single file. Nothing is deleted or overwritten - only new files are added. The uninstaller reinstates the original file version. The whole process is non-destructive but it's always good advice to keep an up to date backup of your sim folder just in case! The fundamental difference is that TerraFlora trees are higher resolution and the colouring is more true to life while maintaining an overall look that still sits properly with the orbx landclass textures. Obviously, what is 'correct' or 'true to life' is subjective so your best bet is to check out the screenshots and see what you think. Additionally we've optimised the autogen library to remove the multitude of inefficiencies that are present (and there's a LOT!). I hope this answers your questions. There's plenty more information over at our website: www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk Cheers, Greg

Hi Rob, Great shots! Looks like you got some default buildings showing that shouldn't be there! If head over to the SIM720 forums we'll get you sorted out. Paste your screenshot links there as well. http://flight.sim720.co.uk/ Geg SIM720

Thanks Robert, We're looking at lots of different options but until we firm things up we won't make any announcements! Greg

Thanks for the kind words Rob In short, no. Those libraries are proprietary to them and obviously it would not be legal for SIM720 (nor any other developer) to use them in our products. SIM720 have been busily putting together our own extensive catalogue of reusable objects, and we'll continue to do so as we go forward with new projects. Head over to the SIM720 website for more info on what we've got planned! Cheers, Greg SIM720

Hi mate, Post this over at the official FTX forums and we'll get it sorted out for you! Greg
