Review: Orbx FTX Global. Though not one of their newer products, FTX Global for FSX and Prepar3D from Orbx is one of those things considered a 'must have' by my flight simmers. What it does is change the default scenery throughout the world, making textures, night lighting and so on more realistic-and without making an impact on. New here with a problem. I have uninstalled FSX Acceleration and installed FSX-SE on the basis that I have seen people running FSX-SE with ORBX scenery installed. So I know it can be done but for the life of me I don't know how. I was hoping that when I ran the ORBX installer I would get the option to point it at the FSX-SE folder location but I don't. All it wants to do is install to.
One add-on seen as a must-have by muchof the flight simulator community for FSX and P3D isOrbx's'FTX Global'. What FTX Global does is it change all of the defaultsceneries within FSX and P3D to produce a much more realisticrepresentation of the world, without the need for VFR scenery, whichwould be almost impossible to do on a global scale.
Having released in July 2013, this add-on has been out for quitesome time now. In this review, I will be taking an in-depth look atwhat this add-on does, and if it still stands with today's highstandards when it comes to flight simulation in general.
Installation
Installation of Orbx add-ons is now as easy as it gets since therelease of FTX Central 3.
Once you have an unlock code or purchase the add-on from the OrbxStore, all you need to do is install FSX Central - the hub for allthings Orbx on both FSX/P3D and X-Plane.
Next, you head over to the 'FTX Global Range' sub-header where youwill find FTX Global BASE Pack unlocked. Click on that and click'Install'. The add-on will then automatically configure onto yoursimulator.
You are also given a 16-page configuration PDF which also goes intobrief detail on exactly what is included with this add-on, and how toset up your simulator for the best results.
What Does It Do?
Orbx FTX Global changes ALL of your default FSX ground and autogentextures, landclass and in some cases ground mesh into their ownhigh-definition images and higher Level of Detail (LOD) mesh. Thisaims to ultimately re-invent your flight simulator experience withground detailing that rivals VFR scenery, while only using a fractionof the hard drive space.
Orbx have expertly done the bordering of the land classimages. When you fly at both low and high altitude, the ground imagesfit into one another seamlessly. One issue the default ground textureshad is that when the ground type changes it didn't matter what wasthere, it would just be cut and a border made. That means sometimesyou would have the odd building cut in half or a road layout thatdidn't quite fit. While it would be impossible to have it 100%perfect, the Orbx ground texture layout comes close to ensuring thateverything matches up where it should, without looking terrible.
One thing that the default FSX and P3D textures suffer from ischeckerboarding. This is where the textures are so few and used somuch, you can see them repeat over and over again. This makes thesimulator look bad and, especially for those that fly VFR, much lessappealing. As Orbx includes many more textures (that differ dependingon your region, I might add) and spread them out much further, thisproblem is essentially removed entirely and the issue ofcheckerboarding is no more.

Speaking of regions, they also have their own set oftextures. While the default simulator just had 'Africa' and 'Europe'textures per se, the new Orbx set breaks it down into smaller areasfor example 'Central Africa' and 'Continental Europe'. This meansthere is a lot more variety depending on where you fly, and theenvironment itself is a lot more suited and recognisable - again botha benefit for VFR pilots low to the ground and IFR pilots who may havejust flown half the way around the world! Imagine flying all the wayfrom Beijing to Boston, just to see that everything looks thesame!

New autogen buildings and vegetation textures also replace thedefault ones. This means ground buildings from a neutral worldwideperspective are much better and won't appear out of place no matterwhat continent you are in, they fit the environment well. The defaultbuildings are very American, meaning when you fly in populated Africanand Asian cities, things start to look...off...

Textures are also of a much higher resolution meaning you can see alot more detail in buildings while on the ground - perfect especiallywhen flying out of smaller airfields and regional airports wherehousing and buildings may only be a stone's throw away.
