  1. It is a great scenery package - see my post in the AVSim's Screen shot section. I am enjoying his work. Please help him out.
  2. You can see my screenshots in the AVsim's Screenshot section area
  3. After installing, I do move the the original rar files to another storage device. My main flight sim drive is a 2TB PCIE SSD
  4. I do have Orbx Global as underlying layer for areas where I don't have FCScenery installed...I compared my KDEN-KSFO shots with Orbx Global layer only (with MESH), it was good but after seeing those insane mountain ranges with FCScenery, it is hard to go back. It is like for me like having MSFS2024 style graphics running on my sim. For me this allowing me to enjoy my addons one last time...and get all my money's worth.
  5. Mesh helps pop the mountains and stuff. Any mesh will help. Orbx Global and openLC doesn't have mesh. I didn't install any of the TrueEarth and FTX regions in the sim, since I am not flying any GA in Prepar3d. The tubeliners are my Prepar3d for now (GA flying is MSFS2024). The mesh + FCScenery's is giving me almost Global TrueEarth feel...giving me best of both worlds to some degree. Performance is awesome by the way.
  6. Fcscenery does have multi seasons, and I never tried MegaScenery (can't say about it). The mesh from FSGlobal 2024 is really helping me out too. Getting my final run of fun with Prepar3d And is that you Rob?
  7. End of an Era for sure. Oh well, this bird will live in the sims for a while (eventually that too will go away, after some time passes). As a kid in me, it was always cool to see this plane. I always felt, the 777 was created from MD-11, the cockpit shares so many similarities. It really was ahead of its time airplane.
  8. Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've posted here. I took a break from simming for a bit... even picked up MSFS 2024 on release day. Recently, though, I got the itch to fly my PMDG 747 again, and it hit me that my entire collection of addons—worth thousands of dollars (it adds up little by little)—has just been sitting there unused. I could have put that money toward private pilot school instead, lol. I know MSFS 2020/2024 has unbeatable scenery, no denying it, and it runs great on my good ol' over-a-decade-old flight sim PC. My i7-5820K is still rocking (yeah, I've got Windows 11 Pro on it, hehe) paired with Quest Pro VR (Virtual Desktop works wonders). Enter the Lossless Scaling app—it's giving me unreal performance in Prepar3D v5, especially on my 4K monitors. The two addons I've purchased for Prepar3D that changed everything for me recently are: FS Global 2024 Fcscenerys Give Fcscenerys a try (even if just a few hundred Prepar3D users buy his products, the revenue could help him fund treatment for his terminal cancer, which he desperately needs). You can grab a country package if you don't want the global one. Heads up: each US state is around 40-50GB, so you'll need plenty of space. I'll have to pick up some more SSDs to download and back up the whole package. These two addons pulled me back to Prepar3D so I could finally fly my PMDG 747 (400/8), Majestic Q400 Training Edition, Leonardo Maddog X, and maybe the FSLabs Airbus. I've got like 80-90% of all Prepar3D addons out there, but have I used them much? Barely. This hobby is expensive, lol. This time around, I'm barely tweaking anything in the simulator. I know which addons are solid and which are wonky. I just installed Orbx Global Base with openLC, followed by FS Global 2024 Mesh, and Fcscenerys. Fcscenerys does take up a ton of space and time to download—I've got about 25 US states so far, and I'm already running low. (I've also got DCS and X-Plane 12 installed, plus I need room for MSFS 2024 for my Blacksquare planes and general aviation flights.) But after seeing graphics like this... I don't know what to say. The screenshot below is from the PMDG flight tutorial from KDEN to KSFO. Look at those mountains! There's autogen with Fcscenerys, and Orbx night lights show up exactly as they should. With Orbx Global Lights Thank you Prepar3d v5 for one more final run for me. I just wish developers still supported this platform. It doesn't have any more VAS issues like 32 Bit FSX did. And Lossless Scaling App does wonders for the sim. Enjoy
  9. I am gonna try to post a fun thread later today/tomorrow in prepar3d section today (after all these years). @Ray Proudfoot suggestion for Lossless Scaling is a game changer. I am using it and unreal performance.
  10. These sceneries are amazing. I will post a good Prepar3d thread showcasing some screen shots very soon.
  11. I have a one ssd on my system dedicated to FSX. I have the PMDG Turboprop and I have the dvd for MD11 in my cabinet. Those sounds of the MD11 are amazing!!!. I am surprised that MD11 for MSFS2024 doesn't have it but how are the systems of this bird? Thank you for this script
  12. Thank you for this thread. I just saw their website and they have the SR-71. And I just bought it (bugs and all), I just want to experience it in VR....been waiting for SR-71 for years
  13. For me to build a new pc (or just get one from Microcenter) with 5090 - is going to be around 5K. That is half the price of my PPL. Guess what I am going for PPL - and the graphics will be real.
  14. FSX days we had 32-Bit OOM issues and now VRAM issues is new poster child. Maybe FSUIPC can have an alert setting like it did for FSX (in this case - VRAM is about to get real low) The past issues haven't left us; it just got remixed into something else....
  15. I just joined the beta, will check if it shows up there.
  16. where is this bird in the marketplace. The ui for MS2024 marketplace is well designed by unpaid interns - it is so confusing
  17. Get it from MS Store and Standard edition. I did a post a while back and everyone recommended - Standard edition. It was the right decision as I too fly payware aircrafts.
  18. I want this Vangelis track (what is the exact track) to be played everytime I load up this plane. I do enjoy Blacksquare products and this will be day 1 buy for me.
  19. Their site is down and for some reason my malwarebytes is blocking their website. I don't know what is going on
  20. I own the standard in my ms account. Can I use GFN version with my local addons? and or do I need Xbox Subscription also?
  21. I am in for $25 bucks (fair enough it is alpha release; rarely I buy beta/alpha releases). I just hope there is a decent manual for us noobs (on this aircraft)
  22. Thank You, I just got it with the discount..whoo hoo. All thanks to you all on AVSIM. I would have missed seeing the code.
  23. I wanna get the discount. I have to email them even though I bought from Flightbeam itself?
  24. I haven't seen it from that angle. I will do a trip and pay attention to airport interior from that angle.
