Which ORBX airports are worth the $?

Featured Replies

Okay, I got 77S Hobby, KORS and KBVS.  First impressions from a couple quick flights:

 

  • 77S is an upgrade but not sure it's worth that much $$?  I took some screenshots from the pattern before I upgraded it.  The biggest difference seems definitely after you land...some nice stuff.  Also, the add-on airport is supposed to be unpaved, I thought.  Meh...not a big deal.
  • KORS...somewhat better than 77S.  Still, pretty pricey.  Took a screenshot at pattern alt there too.  Thought there'd be more difference there.  Again, need to get to know it on the ground.  The things I like the most are the boats and people.
  • KBVS...I didn't take a screenshot there but this has a real airport feel to it and a real upgrade.  The treelines off in the distance, even from above you can see it's done well.  Seems like the best for the $.

Framerates were fine at all of them.  I'll get to know them better over time and learn what more there is to like.

With the A2A C172 and the C337 it's pretty much 30. With the Turbine Duke and Flight1 Mustang (about the heaviest airplanes I have) it's about 20.  Still pretty smooth enough at 20.  I'd imagine it would stink if there was rain.  Hard to believe that it's harder than KSEA.  I probably need to turn down some of the airport settings...Natureflow...Peopleflow...not sure how much they hit.
