I uninstalled FTX Global (again). Their uninstaller is so incredibly fast as to be unbelievable.
One of the airports that I fly out of often has limited built-in FSX buildings, so I checked that to make sure that FTX-G was uninstalled. It showed the FSX set of buildings.
When I started up FSX I went back to the Great Planes. And up high.
Same patterns.
EXACT same patterns.
So what do we have here.
(that's a rhetorical question, so no question mark needed)If I have the EXAXT same ground pattern after uninstalling FTX Global as I do with FTX Global installed, then something is wrong.
I suspect that the FTX uninstall isn't a complete uninstall. But as the only way to find out would be to uninstall FSX one more time, I'm going to let it ride.
FTX Global and its' update have been reinstalled. I will probably never fly across the heartland again so it's ultimately unimportant to me.
I guess that Orbx had higher priorities than making that region look good. And I also suspect that there are many more large plains areas across the earth that are similarly neglected.
BTW - If you haven't installed the
UPDATE go ahead and do so. Just having the red and green lights at the intersections is worth it.
A minor point. Orbx has improved the night streetlights, but they are nowhere near as good as the latest X-Plane streetlights. On the other hand, it's a hundred percent better than FSX (as best as I can recall)..
