Oh you wont be unhappy with Orbx but the downloads and updates all the time are bloody hard to keep up with ..
blue and gold cover so much land its not funny but there are still to this day teething problems and i wont install it in my system for awhile after the agn messed up my NZ install making everything in NZ brown again and textures on agn buildings buggered up ,not really that funny ,if you are to fly ozzy alot and want a great sim experience you should buy these addons ..

OK, just a thought smile.gif

Maybe you can mention this problem on the FTX forums. It might be basic for you....but it is worth a try.

intresting, i had no problems with my landclass or any other scenery in the world on my install, must be one of thos things i guess, works for some not others, does annoy you when it won't work for all people!!

Yeah this is with a stock install i should of said when it came out ,i know since then they have put in updates and freebies ,but thats not for me at the moment ,the update was massive almost the size of the first download so i was at the time reluctant to download it ,some of the things that bug me the most about it is always having to download a new part to something ,its never a finished product and is always getting built onto by this person and that person and once you think you have it all sorted there is something else to get to make this thing and that thing work ...
i guess im fussy and i like simple installs ,example robins scenery always just put in the disc run and its installed ,normally nothing goes wrong and u dont have to put in lots of updates

yes i agree, i haven't got robins scenery yet (lagging behind every other flightsimmer in NZ) but i am going to get it as soon as i have repaid the wife for the new hard ware i had to buy. the install is simple, but as you said, there is always something else being added or fixed
