June 2, 20233 yr Continuing my re-acquaintance with XP-12, I wanted to see what TE Florida would look like in XP-12. Pretty stunning, is the answer. I've always thought this might well be Orbx's best bit of scenery, loved it in XP11, can't actually remember if I had it for P3D - I may have stopped using P3D by then. So, symlinked it in to XP-12, along with all the rest of my Orbx XP stuff, and headed out from KEYW (Orbx). Still not set up properly for the various controls etc (which shows how much I'm enjoying XP - don't want to spend the time messing around with key bindings - just want to get in the air and go) but I'll maybe do that this weekend. It's beginning to inhibit my moving around enough that I'm not getting some of the shots I want. Still, I may have recorded this flight, and if that took I'll go back and explore more at ground level later. So we've got XP-12's lighting, Orbx's colouring for the scenery, and all without stutters and pauses. Smooth as a baby's b*m (probably word not allowed, gawdelpus). All 4k, best viewed large. Enjoy! Out of KEYW, and off to follow the highway back to the mainland I have always found this to be one of the major disappointments in MSFS. I had really high hopes at first but the colours in MSFS are not that good and more to the point, the water levels and water masks are all over the place. The road keeps vanishing under the water, and of course there is the usual problem with all the bridges. (Not getting into a which sim is best thing here, there are whole CONTINENTS done better in MSFS still and I still love it for that). But I really do think the TrueEarth version of Florida, and particularly the Keys, is magnificent Oh, and I realise that the A319 is not really meant for "low and slow" work, but here in my world . . . skipped ahead a bit here, now heading over Miami. Thought about putting down here but decided to carry on a little bit further to KFLL Swinging out to turn in to KFLL Too busy trying to get it down in one piece without bouncing (that's one side effect of flying it like a Cub or similar) to get any pix of the landing, but if the replay works I'll grab some then. But this is where I ended parked up.

June 2, 20233 yr Pretty impressive. That's the best I've ever seen south Florida look. Limitless opportunities now for enjoyable flying here.

And yes, I've never seen Florida look as good as it does with the TrueEarth package. It's not officially compatible with XP12 but all the TE stuff seems to be happy in 12. 13 hours ago, Alaska738 said: Fabulous shots! 🙂 Cheers Will. It makes me want to dig out my old Carl Hiaasen books and give them a run through.

June 4, 20233 yr Cool shots. Never been there in real life so I might take a drive there someday soon. Jack Sawyer
