UTX Europe V1

C= omprehensive UTX Canada Version 1.2 Patch

(= includes v1.1 also)

Version 1.2 Feature Enhancements

UT= X 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 w= ill 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=3D” lines in the FSX TERRAIN.CFG file. This version of the se= tup tool makes sure that any blank “Effect=3D” lines are removed fr= om 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

Ra= ce Tracks

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

UT= X Europe Style Tunnels

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

<= span style=3D'font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Alternate Ext= rusion 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 selecti= ng “Change Road Surface Colors” from the “Ultimate Terrain” menu.

Mo= re 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 resp= onse 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 entri= es for major roads and freeways). Instead, there is only a single traffic feature due to the need to w= ork 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 addition= al moving traffic density. = To compensate for the additional UTX traffic, you may need to lower your traff= ic % slider in FSX to improve frame rates..
