Just visited YMML and was very impressed with fidelity of the airside areas. Love the ground service traffic buzzing about and felt the frame rates on my old system were pretty reasonable. Kudos to @Sascha Normann and the team!

Thank you, Marcus, for a real piece of art! I have an old CPU so was worried about bad frames at such a large airport. However, I found the frame rates quite acceptable for my 3 screens in surround at 5760 X 1080. I spent some time just taxiing around the airport enjoying the views and the ground traffic which is great. I happend to be airside looking at the Sky City area when I shifted to see the night views. Wow! Sky city is stunning through all the windows! Fabulous! The airport lighting was just awesome. I will enjoy many hours visiting this stunning airport. Grreat job! Rod

It's a teaser video. ESSA has not been released yet as far as I can tell. ESSA is listed, along with YMML, in the "Coming Soon" section of Orbx Direct at this time so it shouldn't be too long.

That makes about 30 posts in 48 hours or so in this thread....nice to see the activity and building excitement!

Hi Mikee, Thanks! The good news is that the performance is much better than Goodwood as well as several others by BBD! I was quite happy with the performance using my old system.

Thanks, Iain and John!

Thanks! The scenery is awesome! The cars race around quite realistically and frame rates are still good on my old system. BBD put a lot of work into this one.

Actually, it was Rob Abernathy's guess. I was just saying that I was about to guess S43. However, since that is not it, back to the hunt.

S45 is on the west coast.... Rod

That's funny Rob, I was about to guess that though it would only be a guess. Hope you are right! Rod

Wild guess.....KMVY??

Congratulations, Renault! It is a beautiful pic!

Beautiful work, Marcus! Arlanda will be a winner!

Yay! Unfortunately, I don't have a picture to post...maybe someone else does... Rod

@Rob AbernathyIt's W16 Monroe Firstair Field.

The detailed modeling of the outside of the airport, as seen in the pics, is very impressive. For example, I compared the "remote digital air traffic control tower" to pics of the real life version and find that the artists attention to detail is excellent. I can't wait to get this update!

At the end of Threshold's upcoming Orbx EGLC teaser article, it reads, "...previous owners will be able to get their hands on it for a small upgrade fee." Click here for the Threshold release.

Correct... 9 GB is the download amount and, once unpacked and installed, it ends up being 21 GB on disk.

No problem, I enjoyed the challenge. However, I don't have a new real life pic to post. Rod

It's Caernarfon! This was difficult since the picture given by @paulk is the old tower that was replaced in 2015 or so.

Great news! Thanks!

Nope, the edit function is gone. I am not sure why Orbx would remove the ability to edit a post right after it was posted.

Interesting. I will see if I can edit this post.

I'm late to the party but I think paulk is right on the nose. It looks like Nelson, NZ to me. Rod
