v3 adds a new higher (60cm) resolution to some areas and a few models of
some well known landmarks.

I suspect the v2 disks are the free upgrade. I've just opened both sets for
the first time and whilst the v1 cases all have product registration cards
in them the v2 sets don't.
It seems odd opening them after all this time - they've been stuck away for
years - and it might also surprise Horizon when I activate them after all
this time.
I didn't know a third version was out so can I ask why? What have they done
to make v3 necessary?

You only need V2, it came with night lighting and FS2004 on it which were
absent on v1. I never purchased v1 so it is clearly not needed. If you
have v2 because you were an original v1 buyer then v2 was issued free, if
you purchased v2 then you qualify for the half price v3 upgrade.
If I recall correctly, the difference between v1 and v2 was night lighting
and improved water masks (?)

Not absolutely positive about this, but I think the version 1 came in 2
flavours, FSX and FS2004, but they got the updates onto a single set. I
guess you need to install the version 1, followed by the updates.
This all happened years ago............
There's been rumours of FSX11 coming later this year, I guess you will be
getting that going in another 7 years time, I'm reminded of the 2 Ronnies
sketch where they did Mastermind, with the answers lagging one behind the
questions!

Digging through the box of DVD's I have for FS reveals quite a few scenery
disks and my suspicion is that many can go straight in the skip. Before I do
so can I check that I'm not throwing away the wrong boxes?
First is the four box set of Visual Flight photo scenery - John's original
release. I assume this was replaced or improved by Horizon GenX and that it
isn't worth installing.
Next is the Horizon scenery but it is puzzling me. I seem to have the
original GenX three disk set but the boxes say this is for FSX only. I also
have the GenX V.2 disk set which claims it is compatible with FS2004 as well
as FSX. If the latter is true then I see no reason the install the original
set and should also throw the original GenX DVD's away too.
Is this correct or are there any solid reasons for installing the Visual
Flight scenery again or the Generation X V.1 scenery?
As to flight sim itself I presume there isn't any problem installing FS2004
and then FSX -or would it be better doing it the other way round? I seem to
recall the FSX install was reported to mess up any FS2004 links..
