Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm still playing with my Christmas present (Orbx Vector) and having fun. Here's a shot of this afternoon's departure from EGLF with FTXG, Vector, and ASN: Having climbed a bit it became too cloudy to see the ground, so I had to switch ASN off in order to be able to appreciate the coastline east of Southampton (DVR4 departure from EGLF): And here I am a couple of minutes later: (The shots are using DX10, with LOD_RADIUS 7.5, though you don't really get the benefit here, since I've reduced them to 1200 px wide).

brett 2,316 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Very nice, it's great to see more accurate waterways vs, the squared off looking default stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Great looking shots Bruce, I've not really had a chance to play with mine yet! Link to post Share on other sites
phil white 274 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 It certainly improves the look to be more natural. Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks, guys! I'm very happy with it. (Don't tell James, but for an airliner bloke like me I reckon FTXG+Vector (+Open_LC when it comes) is a far better bet than photorealistic scenery). Cheers, B. Link to post Share on other sites

You can't play me up no more, as I have just built a new second machine. So its all photo on the one and all FTX on the other.. FTX ORBX So there.. :D Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Brian For your info, I built a new second rig using the i5 4670K (Haswell) o/c to 4Ghz, MSI Z87-G45 gameboard and just 4Mb Ram, win7/Ult. I re-used my ATI 6970 and all is running as good as my other listed on the left.. I don't know if it just my machines, but photo and FTX don't seem to like each other if on the same machine. Since I dedicated each to a scenery batch there has been no conflict in FSX on each. The result; fingies crossed is smooth FSX on both.. Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 > "...just 4Mb Ram..." <gulp> Does it boot? Seriously, though, it sounds as though you have all the bases covered, my friend. TBH, I'm a little surprised that you can get by with even 4Gb, but seemingly it's working for you. However, I can well believe that photo and Orbx don't play well together, though. The deeper I get sucked into the Orbx way of doing things the more conscious I become of a certain element of lock-in. Basically, I'm never sure any more just where the textures that I see onscreen are coming from, especially when I'm using add-on airports from other developers. But hey..... Many congratulations on both your systems! The screenshots in your previous post look most impressive. (PNW??). All the best, B. Link to post Share on other sites
