I had USA Roads and loved it. I had FreeFlow Florida and I loved the high
resolution coastlines so much I figured it would be worth upgrading to
UTUSA. to get them for the whole USA.
Here was FreeFlow Florida's hi res coastline and USA Roads before
uninstalling:

Here is UTUSA's Florida now:

So, lets total the score: I didn't get hi res coast, I got medium res coast
and I can no longer make out the roads down below because they are generally
the same color as the landclass, so I lost USA Roads. So far that's two
losses and no wins.
UTUSA'a new landclass? Looks like the old landclass to me.
And what's with the load times? Now when I load something in the USA I can
read 2 chapters of War and Peace, come back and it's still loading. I swear
it's longer than the load time for MegaScenery. but now it's for every
airport in the USA.
The only plus so far are the night lighting effects.. Those are nice.
Do they have alternate freeware textures for the UTUSA roads at Avsim like
they did for USA Roads? Maybe I can put lipstick on this pig.
