I think I am going to get PFJ and PAKT. PNW is terrible on FPS but I am hoping that the experience will be different with PFJ. I thought that I wouldn't buy anymore ORBX stuff. I have all four for Australia but I never fly there. I have PNW turned off because of performance. Still, I like this one because they actually released an airport with commercial traffic. It will compliment Aerosoft PANC quite well.I really wish ORBX would do a couple things.1. Release more airports with commercial traffic. They don't have to be large hubs but I won't buy airports that airlines don't service.2. I know they offer .kmz's with their coverage areas but why can't they just make a jpg with a map on their product pages? While I use GE on a regular basis, it is kind of a pain to download and open the .kmz's in GE just to see the area that is covered. Developers should make it easier for people to purchase their products and I think this is a pretty simple request.3. Offer a PNW light version that excludes the FPS killing elements. I already own it and I would love to enable it but even at FL300, it is a FPS hog. The idea should be to improve the FSX Seattle, not make it worse.

If you haven't installed the FTX day night switcher then I recommend you try it out in PNW as it will boost performance in Seattle, Portland, Vancouver etc.http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/38204-public-beta--can-double-your-fps/JV said:"We've decided to heed customer feedback, and in a similar vein to how Ultimate Terrain X can disable its night lighting effects, we have tested some simple ways to disable the FTX lights and found substantial performance gains in city and urban areas, particularly places like Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Sydney and Melbourne."

Thanks. I remember seeing that but what happens when you start a flight during the day and land at night. Is there no night lighting at all?

I suggest you install it if you haven't done so and test it for yourself. No harm in that especially if it means you can now use PNW due to your poor performance over large cities.

Just a heads up - if you get Pacific Fjords, also install SP1 - that is a separate download!

I just bought PFJ, PAKT and Tongass Fjords. Should keep me busty for a while

I am sure you will love it, I have AU Blue, PNW and NZSI. I don't fly where I dont have FTX.

Tsongas is on sale at silvercloudstore , about 40% off until Jan. 10...

Got PFJ, PAKT and Tongass Fjords. Overall, very nice looking and the performance is decent. I have not flown around PNW yet with the lighting tweak but it is installed.I am somewhat dissapointed with PAKT though. It looks great but the fact that AI aircraft do not work here should have been noted in big bold lettering on the product page. I understand why they couldn't get it working but had I known there was no AI, I may not have purchased it. I have a on of GA AI that I was looking forward to see in action there. Also, there are only two start positions at PAKT. The sea plane bases only have runway start positions - at least that is the case with PAKX.
