Before discussing the solution (Vector V1.30), we must understand the disease. When you install FSX out of the box, the terrain mesh (mountains and valleys) is decent for its age. However, the vector data—the lines that tell the simulator where roads, rivers, coastlines, lakes, and railways exist—is archaic.

No discussion of scenery add-ons would be complete without addressing performance. FTX Global Vector is undeniably more demanding than default FSX, but the impact can be managed with proper configuration.
