NSPC Ace upgraded to the Asus P6X58D Premium

The NSPC Ace is getting an upgrade to the next generation of Motherboards. Asus's P6X58D Premium is a true SATA 6GB/S board and has USB 3.0. While we don't have any SATA3 SSDs on our shelves yet, we will offer then as soon as possible and want our top-shelf systems to ship with potential for upgrades.

Thanks for reading!

GEX treats us to a huge update!

GEX North America patch 1.09 is out. You can find info and DL links HERE.

The issues addressed in version 1.09 are:
- Replace the entire interface system to sync up all GEX current and future releases which provides a 'shared' region backup system for all GEX versions in order to reduce drive space requirements
- Automatic detection of UTX USA, Canada or Ultimate Alaska added when the interface is run or a UTX product is added at a later date
- Rework the UTX/GEX update patch to better render grid housing areas just outside of large urban metro locations
- Reprocessed and improved over 90% of North America textures from past versions of GEX USA-Canada
- Added our autogen building patch which corrects building night lighting and installs automatically
- Replace most of the desert and mountain environments and upgraded the Grand Canyon
- Add GEX autogen tree fix to increase performance in large forest areas
- Developed shared textures to sync Europe v1.02 with this v1.09 release
- Added support for Ultimate Alaska with glacier texture upgrades
- Changes to all night lighting tiles and reduced rural lights
- Replace airport pads and fixed dry location airport pads
- Made adjustments to autogen for UTX patch tiles
- Fixed bug for backing up and restoring UTX files
- Reduce hard tram lines where ever possible
- Replace mountain rock textures

Also, GEX has released an update for Europe bringing it to 1.02 and you can find out all about it Here.

The issues addressed in version 1.02 are:
- Updated entire winter season (no snow winter tiles) to address user concerns with color in winter.
- Reworked shared textures to sync Europe with the North America v1.09 release
- Replaced autogen and made adjustments to some UTX patch tiles
- Fixed minor backup path issue with the backup system interface
- Upgrades to farm fields in winter to address user concerns
- Added generic masks to better display texture transitions
- Replaced airport pads and fixed dry location airport pads
- Minor changes to mountain snow and ice in hard winter

GEX Europe 1.02 can be found from within the GEX Europe interface while the GEX North
America update is a bit more involved and installation varies on how your backup textures are set up.

We are installing everything right now and can't wait to test this out. Keep an eye out for a total update on all of our screen shots to reflect these new patches!

UTX Europe V1.4 patch released

Scenery Solutions has released another patch for UTX Europe. Get the release notes Here and you can find the 1.4 patch and installation instructions Here.

This patch is cumulative and includes a patch preparation application to minimize the fuss.

Our VFR Evolution package, as always, will include this latest version!
