Seeing as you are talking about scenery, I don't think you'll get into too much trouble.
So yeah. FTX Global is very nice. I bought it when it was released and I like what I see. Much better than the default scenery, though I here there are problems in some arid/semi-desert areas.

I won't touch anything ORBX these days simply because of their support.

Their arrogance is astounding and actually breaks Australian consumer laws.

It's ok if it works, good luck if it doesn't.

Keep your fingers crossed you don't need their support.

I've never said anything on forums about ORBX since my discussions with John Venema.
However lately all I'm seeing is post after post decrying the arrogance of ORBX. It's becoming a growing problem for them.

ORBX do make some superb software, it's a shame their courtesy isn't up to the same standards.

Well I wouldn't tell them arrogant. Maybe they are tired answering the same questions over and over again and again. That's something I see when dropping by at their forum. They give really great explanations about scenery design in general but nevertheless get killed with basic questions or deadlines. Just like in every other forum. My opinion.
I like their products a lot and their Global series, lately they announced FS global vector, will be a kind of FS graphics revolution especially if you like VFR. Adding ENB, SweetFX, Shade, REX ... to all those enhancements it takes a lot of time to manage FSX. A nightmare thinking about reinstallation.
Same as Mark, I never had any problem with their products. So I can't judge their support.
Cheers,

There's only one person there with a bad attitude so I wouldn't (and don't) place the rest of the employees in the same basket.
I suspect all these "problems" popping up on forums are users who have had the misfortune of having to deal with that person.

As fas as forums go, this is the only aviation related forum I visit these days. All the others are filled with competition and personalities. No thanks.

It's friendly here!  
As for ORBX forums, I have no idea. I was banned and I have the distinction of getting banned without making a post.  

CoolP my understanding is, if you have GEX/UTX then FTX global won't bring much to the table. If you don't then FTX global is half the price!

You've made me blush! The secret, for me, is the pleasure I get from knowing that I have helped someone fix their problem. But I want to thank you for these kind words as they also mean a lot to me. They reinforce my drive to continue to help others.

I did this recently. SHOCK, HORRORS!
The big difference was that I HAD read the manual, but had somehow missed the instruction in the manual. I do not know how I missed it, but I did. Before I went into the forum to ask for help, I searched all the manuals for the answer, but never found it. Wrong wording in the search field can draw a blank... This is why I usually provide the answer and the manuals file name and the page that the answer is on. How many times has anyone slapped there forehead and gone "Sh*t! I should have seen/found that!". Yep. It can happen to us all. Fortunately for me, I got a nice enough answer from someone. In that same forum, I have seen some atrocious responses to simple questions, so I was really didn't want to ask for help there (I had already gotten a dreadful response to the first and previous question I had asked in there several years ago). This led to a desperate search of the forums in my hope to find an answer, which I never found. So I was left no option but to ask for help. So I fortunate that day. Phew!

In here, I take into account that the Captain Sim product manuals do not get installed with the products, they must be found and download by the user. This means that some people don't have the manuals in the first place! Not only that, they may not even know where to look! Even the links provided in the Start menu for the CS products, do not point to the actual links to download the manuals from, they point to the Check-in page for your Profile. That's awkward to say the least.

Then there's me. I ONLY read the manual when I get stuck and can't figure out why something isn't working.

I agree.

Hi,
I like it, much better than default as well as Fscene4x. It merges well with REX and FSGlobal 2010. I think that this is not for you, if you already have GEX.
