While I have my 'meh' hat on, they're not really giving you/us anything. Any more than a pusher gives a 'free' snort.

 

Heh, well put.

 

Demo or no, this still amounts to a pretty fine freeware release, since it's installable without FTXG.

 

 

 


Has this just nuked Aerosoft Iceland X?

 

Might pretty much spell the end of Aerosoft's Iceland X, but on the other hand it may well give a small boost to sales of Aerosoft's Keflavik X.  Well, that is unless the revamp of the rest of the airports include something better.

I uninstalled Aerosoft Iceland X in anticipation of the ORBX demo but kept  Keflavik X installed for now. we'll see how that works out. Stay tuned!

I'm making my foray into Orbx scenery (been using mostly MSE / MSX) and so far I am really really impressed with the whole organization top to bottom. The quality of the work, the responsiveness (and friendliness) of their support, and how much they contribute to the community (both freeware and commercially - even to products not their own) is just top shelf across the board. This is the right way to run a company and I plan to continue voting with my dollar in the coming months.

 

Very excited about Iceland.

 

Thanks Orbx.

Calm down Dave, it's just scenery. :smile:

 

I've tried it and as nice as it is, I wasn't 'stunned' nor even 'staggered'. Awesome? Well that's a bit more like it.  :rolleyes:

Frankly it's no more than I would expect from Orbx.

:P

 

It's all just pixels Ron.    Even your GOF comments on my screen are just pixels :P

 

But pixels can be beautiful!

Yes, I'd say it has.

Any more than a pusher gives a 'free' snort.

 

 

 

hehe...thats funny!

 

You know, I gotta say, from the demo pics on Orbx website, this looks as good as any region pack, especially the urban areas in an around the capital.

Not sure if it is meant to be run without Global, Jon. :unsure: Wait, two separate versions.

So that's what you've installed or did you accidentally pick the other one? If so, I think it relies on pre-installed Orbx items from Global which might explain at least a bit of mixup. Well, find your current and maybe backup scenery.cfg at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX.

 

But also take a look into the Orbx forums since you might damage something with a rushed repair attempt. They offer support for their free goodies too, so perhaps take the time to write them.

 

Thanks for your kind help CoolP. Yes I did install the right one but I have reinstated my original config file and I am trying again. Thank you my friend.

Can anyone please tell me if they have a strange object like a raised lake ( looks like a big lump of jelly ) just to one side of the runway at Breidalsvik BIBV.

 

Had a great flight in my 172 until this ruined my experience and would like to know if anyone else has it.

 

Thanks

C'mon Mitch, set your fuel to unlimited and crank up a 172 flight from KMCD to BIRK :lol:

It's not likely huh, but I'm sure we'll soon hear how nice West Virginia is at this time o'year!  (Only kidding with you Mitch :wink:).

Im getting strange ground textures when at Keflavik (got Aerosoft Keflavik installed. Even moved it to the top if the library list) Anyone else got the same issue?

Today is Halloween, but it feels like Christmas thanks to this latest ORBX freebie.  B777F CLX1333 approaches BIRK and its "monster" 5200ft runway 19.

I read on the Orbx forum that you have to disable UTX Europe. I don't have the Kef airport, so cannot confirm that.

 Will try that! Thanks Badfinger!
