Orbx PNW (Pacific Northwest) Still Recommendable?

Featured Replies

Since Orbx is having another sale, I'm very much inclined to give PNW a try. I have three major airports in the region,

  • FlightSimStudios CYVR (purchased through Orbx)
  • Drzewiecki KSEA (without the city)
  • Flightbeam KPDX

I'd just like to know whether there are any known major compatbility issues or if they blend well together, hear some general experiences, etc. Thanks a lot!

I am surprised that you do not already have it... If you are flying P3D in the area.. this one is a no brainer IMHO..

Excellent! I've only started flying there quite recently mostly thanks to the performance gains in V5, I'll definitely pick this up. Thanks Bert!

If you can get KORS on sale, get it as well.. my favorite go-to destination.

And when you have PNW installed, got visit Bowerman 🙂

Another airfield to have is KCMW (Kushman Meadows Airport), it is fictitious but it is a little jewel...from there, fly to Bowerman 😎

I think you would have to say yes to your question. Never had it before, been elsewhere in the world, just finally got it this afternoon. Spend a couple of hours wandering about the area from Friday Harbour in a Super Cub. The detail and realism of this scenery is amazing really. Never looked like this in FSX. Wonder why it took me so long that is all., In P3D brilliant!

Gorgeous scenery area! I’m debating about adding KBLI which seems to never go on sale. Also consider getting FSS CYLW to dodge the mountains and perhaps FSS CYEG and enjoy Banff and Jasper national parks while enroute. FSS scenery is on sale at simmarket. You could also get the other fantastic OrbX airports in BC like Bella Coola, Stewart and Squamish to go with the other amazing scenery previously mentioned by OrbX.  This is how the scenery addiction begins (yes, I’m guilty of it!)

Due to the  current mega whopping heat wave hitting the PNW,  all sceneries have melted and are thus incompatible until things cool down and regain their shape. 😏

Does make you wonder what can of damage it may cause!  I've heard that some highways/roads asphalt are buckling.  Crazy weather.  Hopefully it will break soon.
