Just this morning I discovered this relative short flight from Vancouver BC to Squamish (CYSE). A wonderfully beautiful and short flight. Thank you Orbx

Wow—really wonderful clouds and terrain in the first image! I wonder whether there are similarly beautiful mountain-and-river combinations in Europe. I do not think the Alps look this green and lush!

Nice. ORBX is special, aren't they? These are the types of images that make me want to fly PNW.

Very nice!

Default terrain certainly doesn't look that good here in the Alps :( , but if ORBX would consider doing Austria, I'm sure it would look similar.

I believe you recommended Aerosoft Innsbruck on another thread. Do you know whether it enhances the mountains in the area surrounding the airport?

Really nice pics :-)

You're right, and yes it enhances the mountains around,actually even with photoscenery, but the covered area is rather small, just so that the final approach is covered (i.e. about 20nm to the East, and maybe 5 nm to the West of the airport). It also covers the mountains North(not really much, though) and South of Innsbruck, and it's a nice area for VFR flying, too, but as I said above, rather small, so it won't probabyl give you a long time of joy in VFR flights. However, if you fly larger aircraft (A320 family, 737s, the BAe 146 family or Turboprops liek ATRs and Dash7/8s) especially the instrument approach to RWY 08 coming in from the East can be very thrilling. So overall I do recommend it, jsut don't expect anything ORBX-like.

Thanks for the information! The screen shots and videos on the Aerosoft web site look quite decent, but I wasn't sure how Innsbruck compares to newer releases such as those of FlyTampa and FSDT.

Fortunately/unfortunately, I do not yet own any FTX products. I am, however, looking into FTX England as a complement to UK2000 EGKK.
