January 23, 20215 yr I've been waiting to see how this Orbx offering turned out. I've found myself less impressed with some of their modelling since MSFS came along and I don't know if it's because of any intrinsic issues with their products or just that MSFS has raised the barriers so much higher. For instance, I used to be pretty much gob-smacked by their London scenery in the True Earth on XP, but looking at it now it feels a bit more Lego-like than I remember. I suspect it is just raised expectations, but on first impressions I feel the same about this Paris add-on. The buildings feel a bit too squeaky clean and stick out of the landscape as more obviously models than some of the background buildings. But then I probably like to get much closer to the scenery than most folk, so I suspect my opinion is a bit off the normal percentile scale (as it is in a lot of things <grin>) Anyway, for any interested parties, here's some pix. I couldn't decide at first if this was a dodgy piece of modelling - but then I saw this and realised I probably just have a non-Parisian opinion about architecture! Still in touch with my inner hooligan You do know what's coming, right? Crashed and burned shortly after this. Still, it saved the Arc de Triomphe from potential unpleasantness. For now . . .

One of the reasons I'm playing with FS Playground at the moment - if I can record a flight I can concentrate on flying the aircraft and trying to avoid hitting too much stuff and then take my time with the pix via replay Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case.
