wain 879 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Here are a few shots from my first couple of flights using the above, I am very pleased with what I have seen so far.........not really seeing any performance hit ......I have left the counter in the top corner just whilst I try it..... JARS A320 traveling west from Gatwick.. following the M5 north, they recommend around 3500-4000ft to get the best however to stay under cloud I was at 2200ft.. above Portbury dock, Avonmouth in the distance, below is the area where imported cars are stored... filton airfield, also The Mall shopping at Cribbs Causeway can be seen .... this was heading to EGGD by Pilot plus, I think it blends in quite well.... somewhere over Wiltshire, I think.. just by EGHI, another Pilot plus addon.... default Gatwick.. overall I am very pleased and will be getting the other areas as they come out.........

needles 1,010 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Nice shots Wayne, thanks. I don't have XP so I can't wait for the P3D version to hit the store. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Ha! I did a similar trip yesterday from Exeter up the M5 and left over the bridge to Swansea, so I recognise most of those places, great shots I was very disappointed when I went back to P3D for a flight from Bournemouth in FTX England, it really does look awful in comparison. Like Brian said, I'm looking forward to seeing what it is going to look like in P3D. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jaydor 345 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Time is a teacher, that eventually claim's the lives of all it's students. I loved ORBX in FSX and spent hundreds of pounds on it. Had all their offerings. Then I had to make the decision P3D or X-Plane. I took the chance and went XP, but the habits of FSX did not bode well in the new sim. So it was a new learning curve all over again. I still ventured back into FSX for awhile until the confidence and the difference started keeping me longer and longer in XP. Then the day arrived when I no longer wanted FSX. I had learned quickly how much the immersion in XP was superior to FSX, photoscenery showed better and all the add on's were half the price of FSX. So again have spent hundreds at the .org and learnt to do my own photoscenery, I have covered 90% of the USA so far with Europe next. But now the added bonus of ORBX developing for XP is the icing on the cake for me. Glad they are allowing 40% off for ex FSXer's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
