I've got PNW and NRM... PNW is of course nice but NRM is lacking something.... maybe just the magic that PNW has.

 

Who owns CRM and does it have the same magic PNW has? Are there any airports for CRM? I've been considering it for the 44% off sale this month..

Buy it! In real life some of the most beautiful places on the planet. In flightsim, some of the most beautifully rendered landscape available. NZ has not comparison, this is better.

i have PNW and NRM. if you think NRM is lacking....you definitely dont want CRM. it reminds me of Australia Red from them..... mostly just waste land.

 

BTW, i haven't bought any of their stuff since December.....when they had a sale that left a bitter taste in my mouth. i do enjoy the other 2 sceneries though. Save your money and get Swiss professional X. Incredible

I have CRM. It's nice and an excellent addition to NRM and PNW. I have flown several times from Boise to Seattle. Yellowstone is in the scenery too and the flight out of Jackson Hole was spectacular. PNW has some 'glitter' cus FSX made Seattle and the area one of its better rendered areas. I guess because Microsoft is located nearby. I think thanks is also owed to MegaScenery PNW for FS9 as that photoscenery made the area an exciting area to fly into, out of, and around. There's a lot of coverage for the Central Rockies and it makes flying around the PNW just a whole lot better and some longer flights. I do not own NRM but it looks like CRM is probably on the same level of that area. Nothing exciting like PNW but it has lots of beautiful mountains and scenery. With the sale going on, I will probably pick up NRM. The scenery takes up a lot of HHD space though and you cannot relocate the scenery to another HDD. My SSD is starting to get full.... well, what the heck!

 

Best regards,

Hey Ryan - I own all three (PNW, NRM and CRM) and I believe CRM provides the most opportunity for you to fly into some of the more remote strips available. It is populated with a variety of USFS strips available only to a/c with STOL capabilities. If you enjoy Bush flying this is great scenery. Some of these strips are carved out of the surrounding topography is such a way as to require you to set your a/c down while experiencing a positive VS upon landing. Quite challenging and fun!

HEY GUYS!!!! Waving a flag! Shouting from the bure roof!!! How about doing some reviews???? Save yourself some typing; create a review and live on in the history of the hobby!! If you have never ever created doot for the hobby and your fellow enthusiast .... Go here and finally contribute: http://forum.avsim.net/reviews/ !!!!

I totally agree with this. Lots of interesting small strips hidden away in no-mansland. While its true that its mostly waste land / desert,, that is also true for the real life area. The texture work is top notch tho.

I have PNW, CRM and NRM (picked them up in that order, as well, ) and I enjoy being able to fly a large swath of interconnected Orbx-land because of it. There are some nice sized airports in CRM to fly into, besides the great bush flying available. Hopefully Orbx will release the Southern Rockies which would include most of the Colorado areas.

Indeed - this would be an instant purchase for me. I have all the Orbx scenery areas except Australia and have been very happy with all of them. I also concur with the feelings expressed that some of the most intense sim bush flying is in CRM. Give "Yellow Pine Bar Airstrip" a try...

ORBX has some great products and I enjoy PNW. If they would release SRM, it would be an instant purchase for me, too. BTW- Where is the 44% off sale taking place?

With all due respect, those who think of this as 'waste" land have no clear idea of what they're seeing. Yes, it is different--and can be incredibaly harsh, even stark--it is not in the least "waste" land. Deserts have their own beauty. The Orbx product merely presents what is there. You (we) need to work at it and even study before traveling into an area where humans are perhaps less welcome than in other parts of the United States. I'm from the East Coast area of the U.S. and used to seeing trees and green everywhere, yet my real world remote back road travels by motorcycle into the area in question have been some of my most rewarding. My adventures in Orbxland no less so. If you think the CRM area is stark, try southern Utah. Stunning beyond belief!!

The scenery is beautiful, but the problem is flying medium and large airports is not really possible. I read on their forums that they are working on KJAC, that would be great news. A medium sized airport to fly to is great. Now all they need is just PDX, SEA, YYC and YVR

It's nice but I think (and this is only an opinion) that you get more value and enjoyment from these products if you personally know the areas well, or a least a little). I get lost in these areas; I don't know the boundaries within the sim and I lack inspiration on where to fly within them (albeit less so, now with Ideal Flight).

 

There is no doubting the beauty of Orbx FTX products, and I generally buy 'em all, but I feel Orbx could do more by way of documentation and maps that really clearly show, for each FTX region, the area and it's boundaries, and the airports within it. ..........Before anyone suggests it, I don't mean Google Earth KML files !!! ........... These can be an awful, 'squished' format to read and plan flights from. I mean, 'fit-for-purpose' maps and docs that really help you learn the geography in these vast areas.

 

At present I tend to buy the regions, then be stuck on where to fly to see or indeed find the interesting parts of the scenery. Then, regardless of the beauty, I tend to lose interest. :(

 

Just my 2p gentlemen. In short: CRM like all FTX regions is stunning, but we need more from Orbx to help us enjoy what it given in the regions.

Did anyone feel a presence?

 

Anyway, CRM is great....If you don't start a flight too far east. On the other hand, you're never short of somewhere flat to land!

I've reviewed the entire thread Tom, looks OK to me. :LMAO: :LMAO: :LMAO:
