britfrog 180 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 well done Joe they just get better and better, i sincerely hope that the future plans of ftx to now produce uk airports doesnt disrupt your work. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nope! I just post the press releases, this is Gary Summons' work. Link to post Share on other sites
jaydor 345 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I would hope that FTX and UK2000 could get their heads together and that Gary's work can be incorporated into Orbx so that we can choose. I would like to stay with Gary's UK2000 airports as they are the best of UK airports and being an Orbified simmer = (Compulsive Orbx Syndrome) I would like to be able to run both together.

britfrog 180 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 sorry Joe , i meant Gary , some years ago I flew him around Popham so that he could photograph it from all angles, Nice guy, i do hope that the orbyx presence doesnt hurt him , his stuff is good and getting better all the time. However despite orbyx saying they are not interested in making large airports i note their first efforts contain southampton, ok southampton isnt the largest airport in the uk but ---- I suppose Garys vfr airport series will no doubt suffer, it will be interesting to see how they compare.

mutley 4,487 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Nigel, I think there is always going to be a market for photoscenery in the UK as well as the proposed FTX, that bodes well for UK2000. Gary's sceneries provide excellent value for money for pilots flying GA cross-country and want a more realistic representation of the airport. Not everyone wants the eye-candy that FTX create so well with their airfields, they are more interested in the aeronautical challenge than a nice screenshot! I will certainly carry on supporting Gary Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 995 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 At the rate they're going, it'll be a very long time (decades?) before Orbx can make a dent in UK2000 on sheer volume alone. Plus, Gary's airfields work out at around 30p each in packs of 70-odd, so of course a £20 stand-alone airfield is going to be miles better. But don't forget you can swap out individual UK2000 fields one at a time as the Orbx replacements come onstream, no different to any other high quality replacement. Gary's VFR fields have always been intended as mid-quality fields that can be sacrificed for a high quality replacement. Link to post Share on other sites
