Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I added Orbx Global Base to my scenery addons. I was feeling like exploring "other" parts of the world but default textures kept turning me back towards home. A few pics from here and there. A 3 Dollar Carenado 172 ski plane exploring central Alaska: Trusty Malibu Turbo having a look at an upgraded Catalina Island (Don't have the payware version of this airport...yet...this is just Global Base.) I picked up Global Base after purchasing PNG's Jacksons airport (and then reading in the installation instructions that it required Global Base...which I was considering getting anyhow, and it was on sale...you see how the spending rationalization gets out of hand during Xmas sales...sigh) ...here is IRIS Battlefield hauler testing it out. I touched down just slightly past that roadway behind the plane...serious short field performance...and my first landing too....hehe. Gorgeous airfield too ofc. Getting to know and love my new Milviz T38 Talon...looking like 175 to 180 kts is about as slow as I can get on approach without the stick shaker getting upset. But with climb performance like this...i'll just have to get used to the high speed landings. Sweet flying plane. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 FTX Global does make one hell of a difference to the enjoyment and later as each Landclass becomes available, then even better.. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I agree completely. I have orb X region add ons for USA... But they don't extend down to Southern California so I haven't enjoyed flying down there. This now opens the world up. I randomly popped into various areas of the world Germany Mexico Hawaii and so far everything looks better and I'm very happy especially at 30 percent off. Link to post Share on other sites
Timothy Brooks 9 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Nice looking screenshots! Love that 172 on skis. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I love that it was ONLY 3 bucks....before discounts I bought it and the float version at the same time for 3 dollars ea, and turned in Reward Points from a previous order to cut the total bill in half...so, actually they came out to $1.50 ea...with the exception of some fine freewares I have found, these were the best deal ever!
