Photoscenery is flat as hell. No autogen = no party

Before many start celebrating, you have made wrong choice of screenshots. Fly lower around cities, around fields, near coastlines. You'd better use a GA plane. The only thing you can say from such a high altitude is that there is not much of texture repetition anymore.

No is does not require vector but is highly recommended. You need FTX Global though. I think that this video will you give you a good idea of what to expect. It's from the openLC Iceland demo (only Iceland shown).

I think that's a quite optimistic estimate. I think OpenLC NA will be released in late 2014, and in 2015 the other regions will follow, but we'll see.

All the preview screenshots at orbx forum consist of FS Global 2010, FTX Global, FTX Vector and openLC Europe, so there you go.

I agree with you but that's not just ORBX's fault. Unfortunately it's a general pathogen not only in FSX but also in the gaming industry (i.e. DLCs, microtransactions).

So much negatism from some guys that do not even argue logically. GEX and UTX are way too outdated. FTX GLOBAL and OpenLC plus Vector and any mesh product are the way to go. Look at the screenshots over the orbx forum and see the truth without bias. Then compare them with GEX + UTX. Ouch! And openLC EU does not cost 40 bucks. It costs 37 dollars. At least all those haters of ORBX (Nick Needham is that you?) don't misinform the other members of the community. FTX Global is textures and autogen only, openLC is landclass and much much more (and far from other lc products such as XClass or SceneryTech, that's why it's more expensive). Without openLC you don't have the whole package. And yes FTX Global is required beacuse as mentioned above it's a DIFFERENT product than openLC. That's the way it is. So all those that have invensted in the past building their sim around GEX and UTX (maybe for the whole world) quit bi tching about ORBX and stop being jealous of an overall better product. If you don't want to buy it (because you have already paid a lot investing in other competitive products), then just don't do it.
