....fly in Australia forever Shocked .
As some of you may know i was an avid FSX hater, not because i could'nt run it but because it looked like a cartoon to me and i can assure you the UK in Summer does not look like Africa....BUT.......now there is ORBX and believe me it's awesome, my shots here don't do it justice so i may have to do a tour of Australia.
Items used, FSX,ORBX,PMDG B1900





































That's all i'm posting as the landing Airport was'nt ORBX scenery which Launceston was at the start.

Now get REX 2.0 or REX Overdrive and you are going to wish that you started with that in the first place. Very Happy

Also, take a look at all of Orbx scenery. They have Australia covered.

I'm so glad that Australia is covered in FSX, its really enjoyable to fly over and let me tell you, it does look pretty good from what I've flown over in real life!

It's one of the very few addons I have for FSX! Laughing

But I'll stick to FS9, I'm one of those people who likes to have AI at 100% with what I think is safe to say all of the WOAI packages! Shocked

I can say now that I can run FSX fully maxed out now.... even with the WOAI packages as well... Very Happy

It's weird now that I have to get "modified" aircrafts just to have my friends see me in multiplayer sessions, because some payware aircrafts take hits on their framerates in sessions. I no longer have to worry about that anymore.

Now let's see what happens when I finish building my sub-par FSX server for my high-end computer!!! Shocked

If only I were in the financial situation where I could say the same! Laughing

But hey, I'm not really fussed, FS9 is still a brilliant piece of software and more than enough to keep me happy.

Great shots as always welsh, and yes I too HIGHLY recommend getting REX. It is a world of difference as far as weather goes. Sometimes when I fly I gotta look outside just to see if maybe they captured KPIT webcam or something.
