A Little Install of GW Info Please

[harleyman]

Hi all..Its been a few years and am returning to GWs again....Just to much trouble with FSX entirely..And to much time lost just getting it to go half the time....


So I built a new rig,and it rocks FS9,and I'm going to be adding some nice payware to it...I have

GE Pro
Ultimate Terrain
FSGenesis and Real Acene Mesh's


So here is my question?

Should I make my GW's install before I add any of those to FS9?

Can I use Ultimate Terrain and Mesh's with GW's?

Thanks in advance...

I never had to much trouble installing GW's before,so hopefully it will go well this time too....

Hi Harleyman,
Best to install GW3 on to a new and untouched Fs9. Adding mesh will usually be fine but as for terrain I'm not sure. Tom can probably answer this for you and he'll probably be along soon.

Cheers,

Roger.

Thanks Roger...

Thats what I ended up doing...Its now a virgin install...I can try things now and remove them if they are not right easier this way I think...


Thanks for your reply

Hi Harleyman-
You can use Ultimate Terrain if you turn off all the highways etc, however, it will interfere with some of the 3rd party addons, like Simonov Man's NYC fields which won't match up as they were made for the default. I recommend skipping it.

GE Pro, I would say no, not compatible. The bulk of FSGW3 is new ground textures. GE Pro would mess that up a lot.

Roger is correct, you can use mesh, BUT I recommend keeping the TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19

Points all well taken....Thank you sir.....

Hey Harleyman, cannot say about GE or UT, but I tried Real Env Pro in GW3 and it did not seem to make any real improvment like it does in FS9, at least not on my machine. Adding mesh works well in GW3, no problems. One thing I did add to GW3 is photorealvegetationv3.zip from Avsim, gives the ground a little better texture. Dont forget to install the FS9.1 update before installing GW3.
