Flight1 Software:GEX WORLD: MAJOR CITY UPDATE PATCHES
Flight1 Software has officially announced that all Ground Environment X region products have been released with major city texture and autogen updates. The latest GEX region patches supports both Flight Simulator X box edition and Flight Simulator Steam Edition.

Simply click the ‘check for updates’ button in the GEX interface to download the patches and update the following products.
GEX NORTH AMERICA (GEX NA) v2.10: This patch is for GEX North America v2.0 and will have the highest visual impact on GEX North America. 95% of all cities in North America will be upgraded with new source textures autogen annotation as well as all new night lighting maps.
UTX USA/Canada/Tropics/Alaska – Double Bonus: We have upgraded the UTX LUX layers with new source textures and autogen annotation as well as updated the road night lighting to work in concert with the new UTX-3D night lights.
GEX EUROPE (GEX EU) v2.50: This patch is for GEX Europe v2.30-2.40 and will have the least overall graphic visual impact on Europe city daytime textures but will upgrade UTX Europe LUX features and night road lighting. However, this update includes landclass changes that work specifically with UTX Europe v2.0+ and are designed to work with the recently released UTX Europe v2.1. Europe city ‘graphics’ fall under a separate development cycle and will be updated at a later date. An announcement will be made when those updates are ready for release.
