US/CANADA v1.09 PATCH PRODUCTION IMAGES

FPS is the same as it is now with the currect USCAN product other than a trre tile fix and if you have the Europe release you also have the tree fix. If not you will get that fix with this patch

What you see in my screenshots is what I see. I achieve that by having a system that is able to deal with the render which also runs in 1920x1200 resolution, and, tweaking my personal system and display settings to obtain the look. There is nothing altered in those shots. You will have the same files I have and your system and your ability to adjust it will make the call on how it looks to you

That is a really GREAT question. I echo that question. This week I was giving a look into my UTX settings. I keep choosing NOT to have secondary roads enabled because they do NOT line up to the houses properly. When I did select "enable secondary roads" they seem to cut through neighborhoods at weird angles. As stated in the previous email, GEX looks like it will align better to housing. I echo the above question. Are these new pics "random' repeated" pictures OR natural layout of the land? Thanks again, and STOP SHOWING US THESE NEW SCREENSHOTS! You killin' us man, we want it now!

Great work!

Guaranteed AutoGen set to H-I-G-H! Has to be? Great graphics...

ok Nick... WHEN?

100% scenery radus, scenery complexity and AG

Can't wait.  These beautiful products Just keep me grinning.   Very appreciative of the passion that keeps the FSX experience getting better and better. Thanks.

Also have been waiting for a look at the FTX PNW product, which seems imminent.  Will they all play nicely together? (GEX, UTX, FTX)  Will we even need it???

I find the only areas I notice the roads missing are those I know from the air. Of course when I am VFR or night flying I do enable them. What is nice about using the scenery library list instead of the UTX interface is that the roads can be turned on/off in-sim on the fly without losing the flight or stopping the sim and it gets rid of the FSX default roads too. What ever you have enabled in the UTX interface for roads overrides the FSX default roads and the scenery library eliminates them all in one shot.

I know not all circumstances are best without roads especially if you are really into VFR and unchecking them also removes bridge objects in some places too but the option is there until the UTX boys hit other areas like they did with UTA

as for release..   common guys, it will be sometime this month but it wont be this weekend. I am personally dealing with over 2000 textures and also upgrading Europe at the same time .. give a guy a break!

It will be worth the wait!  this is one hellof'a patch

 If you dont have the Europe product yet and are using Ultimate Terrain Alaska, you are in for a heck of a ride up there. There are new textures going into this 1.09 update specifically geared for Alaska and other such mountain regions the Europe product does not install.

At some point we will look at the UTA project to see if there is anything we can do to spice up their textures for things like glaciers, etc. That will come a bit later but it is on the scope and will be offered as a option.

	Originally posted by NickN The areas this patch will cover touch just about all locations in North America with the primary focus on mountain, tundra, rural and desert terrain. Thank You for your support! Can I adopt you?

All the best look forward to the update.

You should have a confirmation number or a verification on the DVD

This patch is probably going to end up being a complete overwrite of the entire USCAN product. We will make that call once everything is compiled however if you purchased the DVD you should'nt have any problem downloading this and installing it as I do believe the DVDs have a verification method on them. Flight1 deals with that end of things, we dont so there are logistics we need to discuss with F1 after the patch is compiled. At this point in time I do not have any concrete information about it.

Nick, dont know if this is possible or not but cant hurt to ask.  can you show a before and after of the same location pre and post 1.09? i dont have the GEX europe so i am not sure what changes i should be seeing, thought from what i am seeing in your pictures, i am loving the color, sharpness, and overall look of the work that is being done.

thanks

As I said before about FPS...   we are not changing the autogen except to include the tree tile fix, therefore what you get now is what you will get with the update except better performance in forest areas

This is just a patch, a very large one, in reworking the current textures..    when we re-write the entire North America product it will far exceed what we are doing now
