That is what puzzled me. The Gen X v.1 package doesn't mention FS2004 at all
so it infers it is only an FSX version. Maybe that is because it only has
the high res photo scenery that FS2004 can't display. The Gen X v.2 DVD
clearly mentions FS2004 so maybe it has both resolutions on the disks.
It makes me think I can dump the v.1 package as the wrappers for v.1 and v.2
are identical - same three covers for the three disks. I guess the Visual
Flight disks are totally redundant and only worth keeping for nostalgia or
in tribute to John Farrie who kicked the whole thing off. I still remember
us running tests on the beta section he made for south Wales and this beta
kicking off the manufacture of masts and wind farms.

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!!

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..
