OrbX Steward Airport..... where does it stop

Recommended Posts

Just saw this flashing announcement of upcomming OrbX CZST airport:

It is just plain incredible... The borders between reality and simulation are starting to fade..

Makes me wonder, where does it stop? Looking at this and other recent releases such as the PMDG NGX, makes me wonder; how much further can the developers stretch FSX' limits?

You do not stretch in FSX. Instead you use Prepare3d when it steps beyond its FSX base.

Hey Frank, according to JV and his 2012 roadmap he just posted today, it's not going to stop! It makes very interesting reading. If you're at all 'into' orbx scenery then I suggest you drop by their forum and read what they have planned for this year alone. BTW this video shows why they make the best scenery in the world :wink:

Did you really had to ?

 

By the way, this product and all of ORBX are made for FSX Money%20Eyes.gif

 

Oh, and I do own P3D

They are and will remain so. However, Orbx will soon be releasing a single port over tool that will port over the entire collection of Orbx sceneries, now that will be cool.

That's just amazing, with that type of 2cm/pixel textures!

Just out of interest, what is that aircraft used in that video? Looks good.

Rick, that looks like the default 208 Caravan and the default Maule to me.

I bought a bunch of Orbx NW airports couple of weeks ago. I even posted about how I liked the Orbx airport scenery in general, however, some of the runways looked like a slab of rectangle default textures.

 

 

 

They sure fixed that one....real good! LOL :)

The airport buildings look scruffy,but thats probably what they look like in real life,since the climate there is pretty rough, being close to the Canada/Alaska border,however the surrounding scenery is beautiful.I have flown out of here down the fjiord and across to Ketchican,with ORBX's current scenery,including the new Ketchican airport.I'll have to check Stewart out when its released,but I've already spent a bunch of money during the sale,so I'll have to wait till my wallet recovers LOL.

@Ron, ditto.

 

I must admit, I was stunned by the scenery around Darrington. What a beautiful unspoilt wilderness that area is. I trust it will remain so in real life for many years to come just to show us the beauty of Mother Nature. Anyone living in that PNW region or having travelled there in R/L, all I can say is 'lucky you'.

 

@Clem, thanks for that.

W16 looks even more impressive. A train will trvel from Harvey to Monroe. Amazing!


A pilot is always learning and I LOVE to learn.
