What????????????????????

Absolutley Henry, makes a huge, HUGE difference. It's like night and day!

I highly recommend it. I use it in conjustion with FEX, and the USA/Canada Ultimate Terrain X packages. The thing you have to remember is that when you get USA/Canada GEX is that it is only the ground textures. The Ultimate Terrain X also adds true height to mountains and depth to valleys. Adds lakes, roads, railroad tracks and street lamps. Very detailed. I bought it because in stock FSX around NS Mayport where I am based there was nothing but trees. In real life there is a point, and the city. GEX and FEX actually added the roads, buildings and such. Made it a lot more lively place to fly. If you would like to see a screenshot of a particular area I would be more than willing to take it so you can see before you buy. I haven't looked back since though.

Yes, and I can't wait for Gound Environment X Europe, the screenshots look fantastic.

GEX is outstanding - make sure you visit their website forum and get all the latest downloads and follow the instructions when you install the enhanced autogen.

Out of interest, which version are you currently running. 1.08?

[heywooood]

yes 1.08

[6297J]

Thanks. I was just checking to see if I had the latest version (I don't trust the update button from within the program and I haven't looked for ages) and I was surprised to see the download version on Flight1 is only 1.06.

[heywooood]

yeah - you need to visit their site - the link I posted takes you right to the support forum and all the latest files.

With out a doubt-YES, YES,YES

You won't be able to fly in the US/Canada region without it once you purchase :) I highly recommend coupling it with a good landclass (I use Scenerytech North America, but can't compare because it's the only one I've used) to get the most use out of the new textures.

Thanks! I bought it and enjoy it very much!:ernae:
