Edit: I guess I should have put this in the scenery forum.
-------------------------------------------------------
Just saw this note re the Orbx world scenery. I guess they finally found a way to automate their conversion from basic FSX scenery and have the whole world for about $70? Or did they do their own from basic data? Or something else?

I'm not flying much anymore, but if anyone has tried it, please let me/us know what it is. If it's as good as the sections I bought for BC etc, it would be nice to have for everywhere you go.

Orbx - FTX: Global

The WHOLE world the way Orbx imagined it!

Welcome to your new simulator. No product in the history of FSX or P3D produces such an instant, radical and complete makeover like FTX Global does. Simply put, it transforms the washed out bland textures of the default palette into the vibrant rich and appealing Orbx FTX landscape - all with a simple installer. But the Orbx team did not stop with just new textures. Dormant classes and meshing tiles not used by default FSX have been unlocked so now unique types of terrain blend perfectly against each other the way they should. Then there is a new zero-FPS -loss night lighting system for the entire planet, including lighting of all major arterial roads in and out of cities. Finally, a new "hybrid" mode is introduced for FTX Central that now allows the classic Orbx FTX Regions to remain "active" with FTX Global so you can do tran-ocean or continent flights without ever needing to see default terrain ever again. Upgrade your sim TODAY!
