GEX EUROPE v2.0 COMING SOON

 

 

 

 

I am showcasing our work in texture and autogen layout for a GEX patch, not UTX even though we do try and provide seamless upgrades to UTX for GEX users, the roads have not changed.

 

I actually prefer to fly with all roads disabled since they unnaturally cut though and across textures and remove autogen. Unless I know a area from the air seeing roads cut across textures like that tends to lower the quality of the illusion, at least for me.

 

There are times when I turn them on for VFR and especially night flying. If I do turn them on I use the UTX roads, not default.

 

 

 

 

 

Dimus   the pad you see is not the same one your scenery assigned originally. We replaced the 128b grass skirting texture set because it was clashing, especially the fall variation, with a lot of different areas. What we came up with is the best we could do without going to a higher resolution for all airport pads. Something we considered doing as well, however people have enough performance issues to deal with so the idea of forcing a >1024 resolution at airports was dropped. It defeats the purpose of keeping GEX in line with default FSX design

 

 

 

and do remember, these are 'work in progress shots'. We are still making changes to tone, color, exposure, etc

I have the last of the textures in process and will be uploading the package to Steve, probably on Thursday/Friday of this week, however he will need time to complete the interface/installer compile and then set it up on the update system.
 
This means we will have the package completed before the end of the year but it most likely wont be posted till sometime next week.
 
Sorry about the delay, as I posted earlier I had expected this would have been released at the beginning of December but unforeseen circumstances slowed the process and put us a month+ behind.  
 
None the less, an announcement will be made at the top of this forum when the GEX Europe 2.0 patch is live. Expect it sometime next week.

 

The full product wont shift to 2.0 till sometime after patch release. This is done to assure things like DVD burn include any fixes that may pop up, although we dont expect any.. with software its best to allow 'soak time'

 

 

 

 

 

The patch was posted to Steve and he is wrapping up work on the interface and the new update login system. We are working on simplifying the update system and its in the process of being tested/verified.
