Both FS2004 and FSX versions
included! FS Global 2008 is NOT "just FS
Global 2005 with a new name and a new package". FS Global 2008 is a new
product. It uses the NEWEST SRTM data (released by NASA in late 2006!) plus
additional data from various sources. Resolution in some parts has been improved
to 19m (!). Yes, this is 4 times better than FS Global 2005 and up to 63 times
better than FS itself! And yes, even than FSX! Default SRTM coverage in FSX is
VERY small compared to the whole world! OK, to begin with, find
below the SRTM data coverage of FSX:  And this is the SRTM
data coverage of FS Global X:  FS Global 2008 comes in
two versions in one box, which makes it 6 DVDs. One version is for FS 2004 and
one for FSX. Microsoft has considerably improved scenery management and
interaction of scenery types within FSX. The new scenery concepts provide a more
detailed and realistic far-distance view, textures adapt better to the mesh, the
FSX default scenery is more precise and causes less (optical) conflicts and last
but not least FSX offers more functionality for a seamless integration of mesh
and vector scenery. FS Global 2008 (FSX version) takes
use of all these enhancements of FSX. You don't have FSX yet?
Well, upgrade your existing FS Global 2005 world to FS Global 2008 then and
enjoy the enhanced resolution, new data and various improvements in concept
until you are ready for FSX. For FS2004 and FSX. |
