The Horizon work is photo scenery, correct? If so, it would install fine with GEX or default textures. Remember, all GEX does is replace default texture files, it doesn't add any new texture files.

Photo scenery will almost always take display priority over vector based scenery, such as GEX, UTX, etc. If you had UTX Europe the night lighting would still display over any photo work, along with road traffic, If Horizon or other products offered the same, it's easy enough to turn off the UTX effects.

I also like to set the time of my flight so that the suns angle matches the scenary so that the self shadow on the aircraft matches the ground shadows - does not look odd then. :salute:

Glad you like it. As Stiz says stick it to 20/30 mile (which is normal for the UK) and worrks just fine.

You need to see the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scotland</st1:place></st1:country-region>, western isles scenery, although it only covers a small area and I think it’s rather expensive for the amount of area covered, it does look fantastic especially if you have the ScotFlight scenery. I’m looking forward to the rest of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scotland</st1:place></st1:country-region> being covered.

Mate where do I get that, thats my home lol, I stagger over those bridges on a weekend haha!,

And yeah I was seriously considering the western Isles too but as you say too much for too small an area! looks great though but Amazon.com is the place, I've got to say I'm ery impressed with the look of it, lack of autogen is an issue but from altitude you cant beat it, still need to find my house though lol :salute:
