First files to being appearing on Monday . . . Concept and procedural testing has been completed, having yielded encouraging results. Update files will begin appearing in a couple of days, and will appear regularly over the next month or so if all goes as planned. When all update files have been posted for download, optional DVDs will ship.Downloadable update files will be free to all who have previously purchased version 1. Optional updated media will follow the current pricing structure of $10 for the 3-DVD North America set, and $5 for the World DVD with free shipping. Version 2 Features . . . The most prominent feature of version 2 is the addressing of the plateaus on which many airports are sitting in version 1. This plateau effect is not caused by the terrain mesh, per se, but by the flat-airport limitation of FSX. However, FSGenesis has developed a reasonably satisfactory proprietary method to deal with this issue globally without having to fix many thousands of individual airports manually.Additionally, vertical resolution has been increased from 1 meter in v. 1 to .25 meter in v. 2, which will create a more pleasing display of terrain elevations while eliminating any terracing effects seen in version 1. Price increase on Horizon . . . As the version 2 distribution process progresses, the price of all FSX terrain mesh products will increase, so it is to your advantage to lock in your price now at todays lower prices.Stay tuned for further details . . . |
