October 30, 201114 yr Hi,Is Dewey Moore actually in PNW, or is it in CRM? kinda confusing According to FS, 'Dewey Moore' is in Idaho and thus not in PNW. Best regards, Steffen Fight time: NGX 737-700: 37,0h; -800: 47,2h

October 30, 201114 yr What Orbx has done, is redefined the NW of America. VFR textures are great, but not without autogen. The type of 3d objects included with Orbx is superb. I just downloaded the free city of Portland to go in my PNW. Taking off from PDX and flying low towad the city was un real. Looking down and seeing street lights, every house/building, cars running a long. It actually felt like when you are on short final when going on holiday in real life (vacation).IF, and big if, the entire FSX world one day became the standard set by Orbx, I don't think any other game would come close, ever. The series could end (i know FLIGHT is due next year) but i think everybodies fantasies would be fulfilled. (FSX related of course :) ). My system which is due for delivery on the 27th October 2011 Intel i5 2500k 4.5ghz Asus GeForce GTX560ti 1024mb GDDR5 Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Corsair Vengeance Blue 8gb 1600mhz Seagate Baracuda 500GB 6GB/s 16mb Cache Cooler Master Elite case Cooler Master hyper 212 CPU fan G7 780w PSU - I know i need to upgrade this! 32" BEKO HD LCD screen FSX Acceleration + UTX, GEX, REX, GenX VFR UK, all UK2000 airports, Mogwaisoft Shade, many Aerosoft Major Airports And... PMDG's 744X Queen of the skies. Total outlay about £1500. Next i intend on getting a good Yoke and peddles.

November 6, 201114 yr Friendly bump for this thread incase anybody has any other new ideas. I second KBOI approach over the industrial estate is quality.

November 6, 201114 yr Try setting up a quick flight from Diamond Point (2WA1) to Olympic Field's (WA45) water landing...I used the Carenado Bush 185 amphibian and it was an adventure landing on that narrow strip of water!There's also a dock there by the house but i couldn't get lined up with it.

November 6, 201114 yr Interesting strip WA45. Although the runway has a pronounced uphill gradient, the adjacent water strip is naturally perfect level :) - Dean P3Dv4 & XP11 space

Thought the landing was in the lake, but when I saw the airport, I realized I had to get back up. That Approach sure is fun! Just make sure not to be like me and come in a 90 knots!
November 6, 201114 yr Just purchased 2WA1 so i'll be able to do those flights soon. Just landed in KONO which was a nice approach. Am i right in thinking that these FTX regions don't actually re-texture 100% of the area they are for, just the main areas where little villages/towns etc would be. I only ask because most of my flight in to KONO was just snow textures which looked like UTX/default ones. Only once i got near KONO did i notice the stunning ORBX ones.

November 6, 201114 yr Commercial Member Great thread. Thanks for sharing. When my PC is up and running again I'll definitely give this a go. Love PNW scenery, but no flown from this one yet
