  1. So are we saying that an Old Coot is 75+ years? It leaves me on the horns of a dilemma! I coming up to 72, but I wannabe an Old Coot. Should I wish my life away, or will you accept that Cootism starts at 70 maybe? I wish life wasn't so complicated. 🙄
  2. Well I've just turned 71 and here in Yorkshire, being "God's own country", I feel I'm in the right place in case me clogs get popped. Less far to travel "after" if you get my drift.
  3. Aw gee Fellers that's kinda sweet of y'all. I'm 70 now - just a kid really! Much appreciated.
  4. Full review by a RW pilot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaD-OV5FnZo&t=1440s
  5. I had one of those multi-tone musical horns on my first car, a Cortina Mk II, that went (you'll have to imagine this), "Da Dee Daa Daa", twice. The police, bless them, got the Government to ban them in case people mistook the sound for a siren. Really??? Spoilsports! I also connected a bull-horn to my Lambretta 125 scooter - it was fun to see people shift out of the way!
  6. Bought it, installed it, love it! Big difference at low level with oblique shadows. Flying in between mountains also has an extra dimension. At that price, it's a no-brainer.
  7. As there are animals in the game, I'm hoping for some Katmai bears to be visible for a great bush trip experience. Can Orbx confirm?

  9. Well I am happy to be corrected! I took the smallest aircraft I have, the Top Rudder ultralight, and flew under the bridge successfully. So it looks like the "hitboxes" need adjusting. I'll shut up now, thanks to everyone for their help.
  10. Sorry Jon but I don't think that's quite right. To wit: I have just flown successfully under Orbx's Sydney Harbour Bridge without incident, both ways. Cannot fly between the towers at Tower Bridge. I can also fly under many other bridges. It's a scenery problem, nothing to do with the game. As a fan of "The Blue Max" I've always wanted to take my Gypsy Moth under all the bridges I can find. Tower Bridge is one of the largest and easiest but it's not possible. Kindly ask the programmers to fix it. Many thanks. PS I'm very happy to be corrected.
  11. Tried Orbx Londinium by flying under the Tower Bridge. Crash! As one can now fly under bridges in the SU5 update, will Orbx be enabling this feature and updating their products accordingly?
  12. Well as long as you're happy, that's fine then. Personally I think it looks amateurish, bit like the game itself. But I'll buy it if it's better than the opposing product released today. It just wouldn't be my first choice, as it stands presently.
  13. Sorry Ed but just look at that bridge in the foreground there - absolutely no blending of the road and riverbank. With that like so, I just can't contemplate it. Just not really very good for such an iconic city. This looks like the London Landmarks saga all over again. Apologies.
  14. But there has been some serious colour or texture manipulation by Orbx. If you look carefully at the last 2 screenshots in my other topic (link is above), you'll see repeating tiles textures and small white dots. That wasn't taken by any aeroplane! In my opinion, Orbx should de-saturate the green and add some brown and orange to those volcanoes. Whilst I have seen some green when living on the island, I have never seen it anything like this. Let's have a look at the RAW image, compare that to what Orbx has done to it, then we'll talk and I will pipe down!
  15. I regret Lanzarote is a complete travesty of what this beautiful island should be. Did you see my photo examples? It's a very desert-like environment that is not in this Orbx product.
  16. Je suis ici, aussie! 18 months cancer free and counting. MSFS2020 VR tomorrow plus Orbx Canaries on the 26th. It's a good time to be alive and Covid can go and **** itself.
  17. Sorry but those river bridges in pic no. 1 look dreadful. Will that be fixed in the release version?
  18. Sorry Tony I get a bit OCD and possessive about MY island! You've convinced me! I still use XPL a lot and will continue to do so. BING Lanzarote is awful.
  19. That's a disappointment, was hoping for better resolution than that. So then, how green is Lanzarote? I'm sensitive to this as I practically lived there pre-lockdown.
  20. I'm worried about Lanzarote - in MSFS it's far too green and it doesn't look like that at all (BING that is). The Spain UHD has it about right at Level 18 and 19. What is Orbx's spec for scenery - 30cm per pixel or other?
