February 8, 201610 yr Anybody have comments on this region? Is it as good as their other stuff? I already have the 3 Australian Orbx and 3 UK packages. And I have all the other Orbx North America sets and Fjords. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

February 8, 201610 yr I would say it's the best region yet. I especially like the photo-real areas in the desert. So much variety!
February 8, 201610 yr I used to live in SoCal and really am impressed with this offering. I thoroughly enjoy it.
February 8, 201610 yr For looks, it's fantastic. The area can be tough on VAS in particular, but also FPS. Eric Szczesniak
February 8, 201610 yr Author Wow, sounds great! Good thing I live in Western America where the Orbx roams.

February 8, 201610 yr Completely agree with those who say its their best scenery yet, but it comes at a price of being quite resource intensive both in terms of VAS and FPS (if you measure that). However, in saying that, I have a mid range system and I am still able to run it pretty well but, depending on the aircraft in use, I need to turn down some of the sliders in an effort to decrease VAS usage and prevent OOMs.
February 9, 201610 yr Author I have a question, how does one know which version of an Orbx scenery is installed? On their patch page is says stuff like 'this patch is not needed if you have purchased Orbx England recently from the FlightSim Store'. Example: England terrain has 4 patches and if you have the earliest version of the scenery, then you have to run them all to get up to the latest version. How do you know which you have and therefore which patch is the first one that you need to use? I can see myself screwing up a scenery by running the wrong patch. Is there some properties tab where you can see the version of the .exe installer which tells you what you have and which patch you need? 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

February 9, 201610 yr Author very very impressive. I think my desktop will run that scenery easy. On the other hand, my $600 laptop runs the other Orbx very well, but maybe not this one. I concentrated on the Orbx UK scenery last Xmas sale.... don't have SoCal yet... 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
