What exactly has changed when trying to register anyway? I just know you had to register normally (like every other account on the internet in this world) then they changed it to having to post in some thread.

A couple of interesting responses from ORBx guys in the other linked forum thread from post #19......

Never saw that thread. Do you think he still cops ANY criticism on the chin?

I solved all problems with Orbx, I quit buying from them... :Clown:

Nothing against anyone enjoying the ORBX circus but this makes for a read if anyone hasn't read it. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/360346-my-first-forum-%E2%80%9Cbanned%E2%80%9D-orbx/

Guys what's the descent rate in FPM for the q400? Is there an average. Thks

1800ft

I can recommend ORBX Brisbane and Canberra.



Melbourne is technically weaker than the other AU releases (quite a frame rate issue.)

I think Brisbane may be better on frames but it is more of a memory hog. I have way more OOMs flying in and out of Brisbane than Melbourne.

You could try out the freeware Tasmania region with Launceston free as well.

Haven't shown any interest in FTX Global what so ever so I can't comment on that part. That being said the Australian terrain has been out for a long time and I guess it lags behind the NA regions out there. However since its probably the only one ever going to be available for Australia I would go ahead and get it. The stupid thing is you need ORBX regions for the airports to work 100%. Never really tried the big airports out without the regions (then again its not like you can just uninstall ORBX). I still think that at least my part of the country looks nice compared to FSX default with the ORBX terrain and airports. I don't really fly within Australia that much (funnily enough) but the big airports make for good short and long hops. Stay away from Brisbane unless you have an uber computer, the place is FPS heavy even in default scenery and the ORBX airport doesn't help. Apart from that everywhere else is fine, don't forget as well that Aerosoft will be releasing Adelaide and FlyTampa are working on Sydney.

Can't wait.

Considering the 777 is an extra $200 million more than the 737, you can't complain about a $20 increase by PMDG.

I know I felt this way before.....

Can't wait for an Emirates paint.

It appears there are already "Washington State University" and "University of Idaho" repaints in the library. Just a heads up on those...

Yes I have those, thanks though.

PS. Can you actually get a refund from them? Just curious.

Its up to whoever you bought it from. If it was FSS I doubt it, however I know some people that have gotten ORBX refunds from them.

Skittles, why didn't I think of that one. Ha!

That's what the QXE pilots and FAs called it.

Awesome. Thanks Nick. Aside from Shrek and Skittles, do you think you will be able to do some college liveries?

Ahhhhh. Its always entertaining to read that something like this has happened again.

I've also recently found out that the admin that banned me is on this forum as well. Let's hope he doesn't read this.

You better hope they don't read this, if they were given an inch by the avsim admins, they would try and ban you here as well, anything to stop you talking bad about them (their little hearts just can't bear the criticism). These are the people that you need 'picture proof' for, they ban you, they say its your fault (like always), they then pretend it never happened. I've found that a few of the ORBX admins have a little bit of the keyboard warrior within. They'd run all over anyone they could behind their computer but runaway in real life.

One more thing, I've only just wondered why now, why is ORBX so special to have that fancy little registration thing? I've only ever seen it with them and to be honest (though they may think they are) they are not the biggest forum going around(ego-wise maybe). Not sure what its preventing but it didn't stop me from making a fake account.

Basically for me its the Horizon Air paints, love them all. However anyone who might not know N425QX (25th Anniversary paint) was scrapped last year and sent to WestJet for training but its still a great paint to have.

I am happy with the models to come, but which liveries are in the base pack for the 777-200LR and 777F? 

I hope for AirCanada and Emirates (-200LR) and AeroLogic, AirFrance, and LAN Cargo (F). 

 

Any hints from Captain Randazzo? 

Kinda agree with Akila. Over 400 -200ER and only 50 -200LR. Though any of the T7's is good for me.

Probably the same with the NGX release, just have the PMDG colors installed and have the other liveries on their website  and seeing there is only 10 -200LR operators I'd say most of them will be ready upon release.

It just came to me now as I was re-reading Rob's post for something else but..........I have heard of a few people, and know a couple of them that have tried using the NGX in multiplayer and with a bit of tweaking have succeeded. Now I now that it can get legal (sad for a hobby) and you probably want to take a hard look at the EULA before doing anything like this, but why can't PMDG simply invite eager flight simmers with creations like this instead of covering up their time and effort and claiming it as their own?

A sale...   :Thinking:  ...after the "We won't have anymore sales, ever"... :p0305: ....who can you trust in today's age...?

No no no. Mr Tity Baby said there would be no more sale so this one is "a price reduction for a temporary amount of time", not a sale in any way shape and/or form.

• Over 20.780 sq km of FTX scenery!

Wait a minute........20 square km for $40.95?

I dont remember exact numbers, but with flaps, going from flap 1 to 5, its 1 sudden movment, theres no flow.

Yes I think I found that noticeable along with the engine rotation pointed out.

So long as you have a right amount of runway distance taking off without flaps sometimes isn't a problem. The flaps allow the aircraft wings to create more lift at a lower speed so your bound to notice higher V-speeds if you use no flaps compared to flaps 1 or 5.  I tested out a no flaps landing the other week in Geneva and everything thing was normal aside from the high Vapp and Vref speeds.

What about the refuel option like the MD-11?

Thanks for the update anyways.

Just remember some airlines have fixed cost indexes and some don't. Off the top of my head Air Canada and Alaska Airlines get their cost index from dispatch and it depends on a few factors.

Well there was a topic where someone from McPhat explained 99% of what happened but that topic I think could have been deleted unsurprisingly. :mellow:
