Comprehensive
UTX Canada Version 1.2 Patch

(includes v1.1 also)

Version 1.2 Feature
Enhancements

UTX Canada
Setup Tool

Several
modifications were made to the UTX Canada Setup tool.

When
you use the quick enable/disable feature with the setup tool, the changes will
now only impact UTX Canada.
Previously, this function would enable or disable all installed UTX
product regions.

There
is a bug in FSX that occurs whenever there are blank “Effect=”
lines in the FSX TERRAIN.CFG file.    This version of the setup
tool makes sure that any blank “Effect=” lines are removed from
TERRAIN.CFG, whenever you make changes to the “Change FS9 Style Wave
Effects” portion of the UTX Canada setup tool.

The
“Patch Preparation” functionality was removed from the setup
tool.    This
functionality is now built into the patch process itself to insure that UTX Canada
is configured correctly to receive the new patch files.

Version 1.1 Feature
Enhancements

Race
Tracks

UTX
Canada is now the first UTX product to provide race track polygons, based on
user requests.    Over
4,000 race tracks have been added for Canada using 4 different texture
types: dark asphalt, light concrete, red gravel and turf.

UTX Europe Style Tunnels

UTX
Canada tunnels have been converted over to the newer and improved style present
in our UTX Europe product.
The tunnel entrances now look more realistic, instead of just a black
hole in the terrain.

Alternate Extrusion
Bridge Texture

The
recommended road surface texture for all UTX road types is asphalt.     In order to have the
extrusion bridges match the asphalt road textures, an alternate extrusion
bridge texture has been included.    You can change road and
extrusion bridge surface textures by running the UTX Setup tool and selecting
“Change Road Surface Colors” from the “Ultimate
Terrain” menu.

More
Traffic

While
working on our UTX Europe product, we discovered the cause of moving traffic
dropouts in FSX.    The problem
occurs when there are overlapping traffic scenery files present.   As per the overwhelming response
to a poll in our public forum, we have combined both freeway and major road
traffic into the same regional files to resolve the problem.   As a result, all major roads and
freeways will now have traffic without the isolated missing sections.     Also, there are no
longer two different traffic features in the UTX setup tool (separate entries for
major roads and freeways).
Instead, there is only a single traffic feature due to the need to work
around the FSX traffic anomaly.

The
additional traffic may cause a bit more of a frame rate hit.   So, if you find that version 1.1
performance is reduced compared to version 1.0, the culprit is the additional moving
traffic density.    To
compensate for the additional UTX traffic, you may need to lower your traffic %
slider in FSX to improve frame rates..
