Correct. The recent corrections and updates to the GenX scenery for FSX required the Version two disks, which had already been updated from the original version.
By strange coincidence my copies of the originals were dragged out yesterday, to go in the bin this morning.
A couple of times over the past couple of years I've re loaded FS9, with the intention of benefiting from a system spec that's over designed for that version. Both times the idea has bitten the dust, primarily because GenX for FSX is so much better than the version FS9 is capable of running. The ES coverage of the IOM, for FSX only, will also be noticeably more detailed, when eventually finished.
The other area where FSX definitely scores is the weather. More specifically, the fluidity of the air. Any better and I'd need virtual Quells!

Hi Bones, The v2 Gen-X disks for FSX also include installs for the Visual Flight FS2004 stuff (effectively 2 different products on the same set of disks). So currently you've got 2 copies of the Visual Flight FS2004 scenery. You should only need to keep the Gen-X v2 disks with both scenery sets on...can somebody else confirm that too!!

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.. bones bones@xxxxxxx <mailto:bones@xxxxxxx> http://woodair.net
