Can I run GEX, UTX, and SceneryTech together?

[coolpick]

I'm pretty sure that GEX will run with both of them, but will UTX and SceneryTech run together w/o problems.

Thanx

EDIT: I found the answer. But I read that it needs some extra setting up. Could anyone explain?

I'll try to help,

Make sure to install UTX first and then all the updates.

Here you go, I think this is it.

This talks about a lot more but it shows how to layer the landclass correctly with UTX.

Thanks for the Link, and Nick for the write-up.

I run all three together along with FSG, FEX and FSWC.  The land and water look fantastic.

What about using these with the "Mega Airports" and scenery such as the 4 FranceVFR products? I cannot get my CDG to look right anymore with the France VFR stuff. I've tried every combination of priorities and it doesn't help.

Thoughts?

The airports have to be higher priority then everything else.

I also use MegaSceneryX products along with freeware scenery and freeware airports downloaded from this site and others.  The key to making everything work is how you layer it.  Just follow the directions in the link that someone posted above regarding Nick's directions.  As far as add on scenery and airports, airports and small scenery areas (like a marina) are above everthing else, below that you have stuff like MegaSceneryX and below that you have UTX, SceneryTech, FSG, etc. (order UTX, SceneryTech, FSG, etc. as suggested by Nick in the above mentioned link).

The one thing that you want to make sure and not do is have two or more files for the same airport installed.  This will cause problems and it can take a long time to figure out what happened.  I had two blg files for JFK installed once and it took me a week of testing to figure out what I had done.

I am certain that the France VFR package (base, autogen, ParisCity and PArisVFR) must add some CDG files. I have placed the MegaAirport CDG on top of everything else. My planes float above the tarmac and can run off the edges. The terminal is sunken into the ground.

When I uncheck the France VFR items, it looks fine. Thoughts?

Another question: I have layered SceneryTech into UTX as shown in the Nick post. However, look at my image attached. This is at KIAH (George Bush in Houston). I would think that the two add-ons would fix something that looks like this.

If you are referring to the brown airport, what season of the year are you set at.  The airport sits on top of all other scenery so the airport will not blend with the surronding scenery there will be a visible line between the airport and the surronding scenery.  If you do not like the KIAH that you have try downloading a freeware KIAH.  I got one from this site or over at avsim.net

For FSX? I haven't found an IAH for FSX and I've been looking!

Can you point me to a link?

Go over to www.avsim.net in the library section, look in the fsx afcad section, there are three there to choose from and there maybe others in the fsx scenery section.

OK, I've seen the AFCAD files. They don't do anything for the terminals, scenery, etc. They only change the gates, parking, roads, etc. I want an airport that is more photo realistic.

Thanks though....
