Order of addons

[Cubfan24]

Okay, I'm sure this had been discussed, but I can't remember when and I can't find it. Sorry if this is a repeat.

I just bought FSGenesis World Mesh, UTX and GEX. Does it matter which order they are installed? After installing, I thought I read something about getting them in the right order for FSX to use best. How do you do that? I can't find anything about that.

Also, read about turning autogen completely off?? When I do, won't a lot of the buildings/trees disappear. I guess that's just part of the eye candy for FSX??

Thanks in advance.

It really does not matter in what order you install these at all....but....for whatever reason, FSGenisis mesh, UTX, the GEX just seems right, in that order, but again, it should not matter.

You don't have to turn autogen completely off, that is a personal 'thing'. After over a year of running FSX, I have 'tweaked' my FSX.cfg to show all the trees, but not the houses/buildings, as I prefer the look of the building in the GEX textures without the autogen on top of them 'at altitude'. Even so, your airport and some dedicated city buildings, and other 'special' objects, will all still show up regardless.

You might try this tweak out and see if you like it; Under the *terrain* section of your FSX.cfg insert these lines:

TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=4500 ////4500
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=0000 /////3000

The 'remmed out' 4500 and 3000 are the default settings, but you can adjust each to your taste. As you can see I have full trees, and no buildings. As the autogen slider within FSX controls both of these entries, this allows you to adjust them independently.
