Thank you. I've downloaded the latest version, which I believe I already had but will try the new one. If it CTD then I will give the layout generator a try.

I seem to have the same problem with Gaist. It will CTD when loading at beginning after picking my flight and before the aircraft on tarmac screen. Where is this layout generator, you're talking about? Is it a proprietary generator for those in the beta program or can I download it myself to see if that helps.

ASCA is NOT required

yes

Trying to help out a friend. He installed Friday Harbor and now Squamish is missing buildings, grasses, runway textures. Does anyone else have Friday Harbor and Squamish without losing the buildings?

Yes, I am aware of that. I would have to get a new motherboard for the 4790k also but could use my DDR3 memory.

I thought I heard that the hyperthreading on the I7 doesn't really serve FSX well or is that old thinking. I don't really want to pay for something I'm not going to be using and FSX is the only thing I would need that much computing power for.

It's OK. It's a newer generation I5 to an older generation I7 so it's allowed.

I'm looking at upgrading to either the 4790k or the newer 6600k. Which would be better for FSX. I'm upgrading from a I5-3570K and Nvidia 660, which have been pretty good but it's time for an upgrade.

Make sure that, if you're using ASN and REX together,r that you have the weather engine disabled in REX. There is also a setting for 'enhance haze" in REX under the configuration page. Make sure that is unchecked and that REX is not running the weather engine. Just a thought.

I don't agree Rich. I'm not sure how you have your lights set but I think the street glow under the lights make a world of difference. I have mine set at 3d with spotlight.

I only use DX10 and have no problems with the lights and they are running smooth. Could be your settings or machine. I run 3570K with 660 and have no problems. One thing I did noticed when I installed was that I had the new lights and the old lights of UTX (intersections) even though I had uninstalled version 1. I went to the scenery library and was able to disable the original UTX lights. Make sure there are no red intersection lights. Just a guess.

Just as a clarification, you must uninstall all of version 1 prior to installing version 2

No, I am not using global lights. I've used them in the past so I know what they look like. I like these lights better with the spotlight under them. From their FAQ it supposed to work well with global. Mind you, I'm not saying global LIGHTS because I don't know that for sure. If you were using these lights there really wouldn't be a need for global lights because you can have all the lights you need with UTX. I also found that the roadways are taken from TomTom data. I just tried it and found my home area pretty easily following known roadways. I took some screenshots to show but can't figure out how to put them in the message. You can go to the Flight1 website and look at their night photos. Pretty impressive, IMHO.
