Perhaps do a UTX and Global Vector cost comparison to see which will give you what you are looking for. Imprint: Amsterdam : publisher not identified, 1590. Author / Creator: Hogenberg, Frans, approximately 1539-1590. I would say you should buy UTX packages and Global but I don't have a full understanding of the new Orbx Vector and how much it will cost. Typus orbis terrarum : quid ei potest videri magnum in rebus humanis, cui aeternitas omnis, totius que mundi nota sit magnitudo. Global is soon going to be enhanced by its own version of vector elements which will then make UTX mostly unnecessary. Many users of Global textures are also using UTX which improves greatly the vector elements of you sim. A good understanding of the three is important to knowing what you might want to do with your sim. You should go to Flight1 website and read up on GEX, UTX and head over to Orbx and read up on Global. Typus Orbis Terrarum Topic: World Maps Physical Description: 1 map : hand colored 20 x 13. GEX and Global are not compatible, only one can be running on your sim at a time as one replaces the other. This is similar to GEX which also does the same thing. It is remarkable how accurately the four known river systems of America are located. Publication of this famous world map marked the beginning of the golden age of Dutch cartography. Global replaces the default texture sets with all new versions. The centerpiece of Ortelius's unprecedented atlas was this map, the Typus Orbis Terrarum. UTX is mostly vector scenery, ie coastlines, lakes, roads, creeks and rivers, hydrolines.however they do include some custom textures that can be turned on and off. Minor loss of paper at lower right corner, far from printed image.No Global is not a replacement of UTX. The present example shows very early signs of the crack which required the replacement of the map several years later. Includes several sea monsters, a sailing ship and other decorative embellishments. An elongated Northwest Coast of America is shown, along with Anian. South America is shown in its potato configuration, as is the case in the first edition of this map. A massive Terra Australis Nondum Cognita is shown with equally bold conjecture in the Southern Hemisphere. Both the Northwest & Northeast Passages are shown quite boldly, although based completely upon myth and conjecture. The coastline of South America includes the extra bulge, which would be removed in state 2 (1585). ![]() On the verso, Ortelius mentions in his Catalogus Auctorum that he also apparently had access to and drew upon the world maps by Peter ab Aggere from Mechelen, Sebastian Cabotus from Venice, Laurentius Fries from Antwerp, Jacobus Gastaldi, Gemma Frisius from Antwerp, Guicciardinus from Antwerp, Doco ab Hemminga Frisius, and Orontius Finæus from Paris. The map is drawn from Gerard Mercator's 1569 wall map of the World, Gastaldi's 1561 world map and Diego Gutierrez' portolan map of the Atlantic. The present example is from the earliest state of the map, which can be identifed by the signature of the engraver, Fransciscus Hogenbergus (Franz Hogenberg) below the Cicero quote (center right) and the lack of any evidence of cracking in the lower left part of hte plate. Ortelius' world map is one of the most important and widely disseminated maps of the second half of the 16th Century, forming the base model for a number of other contemporary maps. Nice old color example of the first edition of Ortelius' famous world map.
