Orbx not good enough: blurry texture
I probably should mention that I had ludicrously high settings, with AI on and Aerosoft Mega Airport Heathrow. I don't think FPS is particularly affected whether its England or LC EU, more I've noticed increased VAS (that screen is from FTX England). I think I have some optimising to do too so take my FPS of 10 with a pinch of salt. I had to do a bit of tinkering to get my sim running as I wanted it and I'm sure the OP can do that too. Yes, its something I've been meaning to try. The roads are eye candy in Vector, the water features are the real seller as they make a great difference to how the sim looks - but its does eat away at the VAS. I really need to try the Heathrow 27 approach with reduced settings and see what happens. My main point wasd to show the OP that ORBX scenery can really look amazing but it requires tweaking a few settings here and there and compromising a bit. I hope he can ge something from Orbx scenery so he doesn't feel he wasted his cash. Matt

Orbx not good enough: blurry texture
ORBX really does some fantastic stuff. The real problem is that both FSX and P3D are based on a very outdated software and therefore the scope for add-on developers is limited. That said, with ORBX you can really get fantastic results and I've put a few screens below. I have had my fair share of blurries and issues, but its all down to getting the right compromises for what you want your flight sim to do. I do hope you are able to get it working. Matt A fly-past of Vesuvius (lucky for those passengers seated on the right side of the plane!) Leaving the southern coast of the UK - it may not be precisely the right streetmap and building techniques but I'm flight simming not road map simming! Night flight over the mid-US! The Alps off to the left - I think we're off to Rome! The return flight. And this is one were my computer screams out in pain - 27R approach to London Heathrow - texture loading is usually okay bit autogen lags way behind and in the VC I'm lucky to make 10fps (its so hard to turn those settings down!)

Mad Catz/Saitek Windows 10 Beta Driver Site
Although I haven't been able to test the drivers in-flight yet, I have noticed that Windows 10 doesn't hang on booting with the yoke plugged in.

Avatars Can Swim
I wonder if, with bathymetry enabled, they'd be able to dive!
