  2. Awesome pics and great news on Visby! It won't be long now! Thanks, Marcus, for your detailed and realistic scenery work. It is a real treat! Rod
  3. That is very cool! Thanks for taking the extra time to put in the light rail/tram animation. The carriage/tram itself looks great! Rod
  4. Let's see, the topic is Concerned About Direction Orbx is Heading. I, for one, am not concerned about Orbx's direction. I was, at first, when Orbx started growing their list of 3rd party partners. After buying almost all Orbx in-house developed products I was concerned about Orbx's future quality, support, etc. I imagine working with more 3rd parties was a tough decision for Orbx too! However, I find that I am pretty happy and look forward to a continuing future with Orbx. Microsoft Flight Simulator has only been out for a year but I already have over 30 scenery products purchased from Orbx Direct. I like them all. Sure some of them are not built in-house, but I know that Orbx has done their quality due diligence on the 3rd parties that they have partnered with, I have purchased them all using Orbx Direct, the 3rd party products are installed via Orbx Central (which is a great tool) and my updates, as required, have come through automatically. I just checked and it looks to me like Orbx has over a 100 scenery (airport and landmark) products available right now for Micrsoft Flight Simulator including 3rd party products. That is pretty impressive when dealing with a new/complex simulator that has only been out for 1 year with an incomplete SDK featuring updates every few months that might break a developer's existing scenery's operation . And now I am able to get some of my favorite P3D Orbx sceneries for Microsoft Flight Simulator like 1WA6 at almost no cost ($3.21) due to Orbx's Throwback Classic program. Yes, the product description should probably be clearer about the content being a simple port of the P3D version and when I click on the OrbxDirect ad for Throwback Thursday it only shows me the latest throwback product even though I would prefer it show me all the Throwback products since I may have missed a Thursday or two.... but that is a minor nit that could be easily changed. Looking ahead, the upcoming Orbx product I am currently following is Stockholm Bromma airport. The many pics posted by the Orbx in-house developer, Marcus Nyberg, are demonstrating to me that this will be another fine, high-quality, Orbx in-house product. Now I have to go check out Pilot Plus's EGGD Bristol International Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator which is now out and looks to be another high-quality airport easily available to me thanks to Orbx's 3rd party partnering program. So, as I said at the beginning, I am not concerned about Orbx's direction and the future looks bright...but that's me. Rod
  5. The new screenshots really speak to the detail and care being put into this development effort! Thank you Marcus! It will definitely be worth the wait! Rod
  6. Music to my ears...... Thanks, Ed! Rod
  7. Correct! Greg is the winner! I though it would be pretty easy considering how popular CYSE is. Feel free to post a mystery pic if you have one, Greg. Rod
  8. Thanks, wolfko! I recently found a RL photo (I did not take it) that someone sent me awhile back when I was investigating one of Orbx's airports. Here it is as the next mystery photo: Rod
  9. I am so used to the green of England, I almost didn't recognize Fishburn Airfield in a blanket of white. Nice pic! Rod
  10. Gerold, so you don't have to wait for Boetie to wake up, it is definitely EGKA. Here is a P3Dv5 pic of EGKA taken in the same basic spot: Rod
  11. YBBN is coming! Did you see this line at the end of the Key Features list: Perfectly matched with our upcoming YBBN Brisbane Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Rod
  12. @Andreas Hegi 3W5 is great! Thanks! S43 and W16 would also be great in MSFS. Just can't have one without the other Rod
  13. Oops....should have mentioned that my shot of the bridge was with Orbx KTIW installed. Rod
