  1. Nice shots Graeme You have just convinced me that this is the next add-on that I need to buy . Cheer's...Graham...
  2. Very nice as always, Charlie BTW: Glad that I could help Cheer's...Graham...
  3. Also I just read that Orbx will not be doing any upgrades to the airports in the UK, so really it looks like they are not giving us anything that we don't already have with the GEX/UTX combo and that covers all of Europe for a fraction of the cost, although reading a lot of the posts at the Orbx site, I do now think that the new orbx items will sell very well to simmers who live outside the UK as they won't really know what they are looking at . Cheer's...Graham...
  4. I do agree that the photo scenery looks a bit flat, but I am just wondering how Orbx will cope with huge built up areas like in the midlands??? ATM I have some of their scenery and it works and looks great for all those Bush flying areas, but I have noticed a big drop in my FPS when I fly over some of the citys in the PNW, and NRM, and just wonder how they are going to give you a nice steady frame rate if your flying around Birmingham? because as I see it you need to crank up the Autogen to get the best out of FTX-Orbx products. Sorry to put a dim on this venture, but untill a super computer
  5. Canada Remembers. Canada is doing a renaming program with the many lakes and other geographical features in Canada named after fallen service men/women. http://maps.google.c...=h&source=embed (you need to click on the red crosses on the map, also zoom the map out to see the full effect covering most Provinces of Canada) Cheer's...Graham...
  6. Hi Jim. Do a search for "pommel sapele" or "Bubinga" or if you want a dark woor with a stripe effect look for some of the South American Rosewoods. A really dark red one would be "Cocobolo" sometimes this one is so dark it looks almost black though . Cheer's...Graham...
  7. Indeed it is! I'm not sure if I would want to be a passenger in any Air Ambulance that Dai is flying though! Cheer's...Graham...
  8. Nice video Dai . Did you try that Bo105 flight dynamics link that I gave you? you should be able to fly just like that if you use it , I have it on my desktop by have no idea where you have to copy/paste the text too . (the file is a little lacking in instructions to say the least ) Cheer's...Graham...
  9. Nice setup there Jim. have enabled the GEX autogen tree fix tile's ?. Cheer's...Graham...
  10. Contra-prop must be one of the freeware titles at Iriss sims http://www.irissimul...sics-p40war.php Cheer's...Graham...
  11. Here's the other Egg Beater that I picked up at the "Nemeth Designs" sale at simware . It's a Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm Bo105, or "MBB BO-105" for short. (Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm, is now part of the Eurocopter Group) Dai gave me a bit of help to get this one into the air, so thanks for that m8y (still don't know what the hell I'm doing in it though, but it's been a lot of fun anyway ). All shots were made over the Orbx "PNW" scenery, clouds are provided by REX, and the repaint is one that I found at the Hovercontrol website. Cheer's...Graham...
  12. Finger Licking Good, Sam Cheer's...Graham...
  13. PFJ is on my shopping list for scenery, althought I do have UTX Canada and GEX NA for that area so have not rushed to get it just yet, the trouble is Orbx is bringing oust stuff so fast it's hard for the wallet to keep up with them ATM . Cheer's...Graham...
  14. Hi Jim. Remember that REX is only Textures that replace the default ones in FSX (so eye candy really) to get them to work you have to install them into FSX once you have made your theme choices. Once they have installed (can take a bit of time) whatever weather type you pick should always use you REX textures (clouds and sky) as they have replaced the default ones, so if you pick a nice clear summers day your not going to see much apart from whatever sky texture you picked, on the other hand if you pick Thunder storms and crank the cloud coverage slider up to the Max, it's going to look pret
  15. Ah! that was the first scenery package that I got from Orbx, after an afternoon flying over it, I went back and got Central Rockys and "PNW" so now I have a biggish area of nice 3D scenery to mess about in, one of the most nice features in all those packs is the upgraded airports in some places, it's so much better than arriving at an airfield with only a wind sock to greet you . Cheer's...Graham...
  16. Thanks for the comments Guys. This is the FTX-Orbx Northern Rocky Mountain scenery that I got about a month ago, have not added anything else to the package it looks like this straight from the box with my autogen set at very high, I'm loving every minute of it so far . Cheer's...Graham...
  17. Thanks for the Comments Guys, it is a lovely old plane, and like Alan says its sad they they are nearly all gone now, but thats what they call progress I guess . Cheer's...Graham...
  18. Got my first (and second ) Helicoptors today at the simware sale. Here is the first one, the Nemeth Designs Eurocopter EC120B, seen here flying away from my new home base at Pincher Creek. Alberta, Canada. If ever there was a Heaven for Egg Beaters, then this place must be it That little house down there must be the local" Pitza Hut" shot flying up to the Alberta Rockys The EC120B is a port over from FS9 and the cockpit looks a bit muh! from the inside TBH , but "OMG" look at the view out of the front of this thing Won't be showing any pics of my other chopper for a while a
  19. That's funny Brian, because my wife has just started calling it a "NOT THAT MONEY PIT AGAIN!!!" BTW: Nice shot's, I have some of the UTX/GEX products I find them very good, and they do cover most of Europe in one shot so thats a bit of a wallet saver there for a start . Cheer's...Graham...
  20. Well done Dai. Bought myself a nice little egg whisk . Cheer's...Graham...
  21. Well done Joe You have just inspired me to try flying a helicopter, what setup do I need to fly one, and also got any tips you can share with a beginner ? Only been playing around in the default R22 up untill now, take offs are in a bit of a spin untill I can get the thing moving forward, my landings are also rather sad Cheer's...Graham....
  22. Got a couple of add-on packs at the JustFlight Connie sale, so here's a few shots that I made last night while I was playing about with them Got to love the noise and smoke animation when you fire up the engines Cheer's...Graham... PS: I know nothing about these big 4 engine aircraft! I just like looking at them
  23. Nice shots again Alan. This plane was being made just down the road from me at Downsview, think that the main reason for there being only one "Known" small piece of the aircraft being left today is because the RCMP got the wind up about a Russian mole in the Avro plant and ordered all the prodution parts, machinery and drawings to be destroyed, any test aircraft where just cut up on the runway and taken away as scrap. The main role of the Arrow was to be an high speed interceptor to take down Russian bombers over our northern ice caps, which in those days was thought to be the route they wou
