  1. Stunning shots, Adam ! I'm currently simless, but can't wait to get back into it after seeing the wonderful scenery you have captured here !
  2. Great shot, Iain ! I can't wait to get back in the saddle in a few months time with my new system. For now, I'm just enjoying everyone's fantastic shots !
  3. I know exactly what you mean about warning the wife, Wayne. I didn't ..... and my wife didn't speak to me for weeks after she got hold of the invoice. At first, she thought I bought a car,..... then I told her : "yeah,...... and it's parked downstairs in the spare room !" I have decided to wait until FS2024 arrives and hopefully save up for all of those addons I have on my wishlist. I love everything Orbx offers the flightsim community and will be eager to 're-stock' the brand new sim once it arrives. A big "thank-you" to Doug Sawatzky of the Orbx team for pointing me in the right direction in speccing this awesome system.
  4. Bye FSX, hello MSFS.....after a brief hiatus, I now have my new system up and running, and looking forward to coming back to the forums. My only dilemma is whether to jump in with MSFS 2020 this fall, or wait for 2024. Time will tell ......... 😕
  5. Thank-you, guys for your guidance. I think I will move this topic to the Community Help Forum (thanks, @Bullfox for pointing me in the right direction) to confirm things. There's a few YT videos on Orbx prerequisite regions for a certain scenery, with inconclusive results. Most airport scenery usually will blend in well if you have what I have as it covers most of the bases. I don't fly much in SoCal, but figured it would be a nice trip to visit Big Bear while at Jarrad's KPSP, when I fly out from KMRY.
  6. Can any Orbx staff please answer or tell me where to post this query ? Can't find FSX support forum anymore. Thank-you.
  7. Hello, I have in my old FSX : FTX Global, Vector, Open LC NA, Trees HD, and Jarrad's KPSP Scenery. I found I had enough Orbs for L35 Big Bear Scenery, but the description seems to have a contradiction in terms - it states : 1) You require at least one of the following products to use L35 Big Bear City Airport : NA Southern California, and 2) Although designed from the ground up with NA Southern California in mind, Big Bear will blend quite happily with the all of the Orbx Global range. Could someone please elaborate on "Big Bear will blend quite happily with all of the Orbx Global range" ? (ie. what is meant by Orbx Global range product-wise ?) I do not own NA Southern California but do have the KPSP scenery (which L35 apparently works fine with). I would only redeem my Orbs to get L35 if I did not need to buy NA SoCal, but if installing L35 alongside my Global, Vector, Open LC NA, Trees HD, and KPSP would still present any obvious elevation/texture issues - then I would pass on it. My plans are to move to MSFS soon, and thought this would 'inject' some new life into my old sim in the meantime, at no additional cost. Thank-you, Milan ....
  8. Hi Doug, I did the full uninstall and reinstall of EDVY and all is good now. I also found a few more other airports in Central like this (now that I went looking to see if other airports had same issue), ... did same uninstall/reinstall procedure and those also are now fixed with full Control panel options as well. Thank-you, for this advice, Milan ........
  9. Hi Doug, I found the 'Configure' section in Central for each airport, but upon clicking it, here's what I get : EDBJ works as expected : but, EDVY, no options actually show : Puzzling, no ? Thanks, Milan ....
  10. Hello, Just a curious question. I have two airports, both by the same developer, EDVY and EDBJ. In the User Manual for both there is a reference to the Config Panel so users can customize the scenery more in line with their system's capabailities. EDBJ has a Control Panel, but EDVY just shows a pop-up labelled 'Control panel' but no options listed to enable/disable parts of the scenery. I have FTX Germany South and have enabled that in the EDBJ panel along with disabling some of the 'grass' areas. I am wondering if EDVY has such options somewhere ? Both airport sceneries are running great, looking great, but when I fly in with a more complex aircraft (Carenado, 4096 textures etc..) I take a bit of fps hit, unless I disable some features through the panel - works in EDBJ; wishing I could do same in EDVY. (Running FSX SP 1&2 with Orbx Global Base, Vector, OpenLC EU, FTX Germany South). Everything Orbx is up to date through Central V4.1.42. Thank-you, Milan ........
  11. Hi Richard, .... all is good now. Thank-you, Milan ........
  12. Hi Richard, I just posted another reply in the Ticket section for you. Thanks, Milan ........
  13. Hi Richard, I just replied in the Ticket section now. Happy New Year to You, and Doug Sawatzky. Thank-you, both, for helping me out here ! Milan ..........
  14. Hi Doug, Just checking back. In the Ticket Portal, this was assigned to Richard Lincoln over a week ago, and still no guidance/response. I am wondering if he's away, or ? I only wish someone gave me some feedback over there such as 'your request has been received, pls give us a few days to process .... etc.' Thanks, Milan ......
  15. Thank-you, Doug. I submitted the ticket just now. Happy Holidays !
  16. Hello, I currently have FSX with SP1&2. I have FTX Global Base, Vector, and numerous OpenLC regions, full fat regions, Trees HD, and airports - mostly all Orbx. Also running UT2 and REX Essentials. Everything Orbx is up to date - scenery and Orbx Central included. Some time ago, as is usually the case, I purchased, not one, but numerous sceneries all at same time during your sale (5 to be exact). With real life constantly getting in the way, it was several months before I got around to actually flying and exploring some of these. One I left for a longer while, as I had no suitable aircraft for - namely KBLU. Maybe pure luck, but the few times I started flying in the KBLU region - it was only short flights around Gansner Field. All here was good, so far. I now finally got an AC with appropriate 'gear' and decided to fly out of Limberlost ranch. Upon launching FSX, I found myself sitting in the AC 1/2 buried in the asphalt runway there. OK, then I decided to load up FSX at KBLU, and after a long, agonizing wait (3+min) - got message FSX encountered an error and will need to close (CTD). Second try, after many min. waiting, finally worked, but all small trees/shrubs in the airport vicinity were flickering between white (snow covered) and green. Very annoying, and even after turning 'off' all scenery addons in config panel, no joy. Tried several flights from Gansner to KBLU, and like clockwork, when about 19 to 20 nm out from the KBLU airstrip - got CTD each and every time. Obviously something in the vicinity not right scenery-wise. Event viewer simply points to g3d.dll . I remember getting the exact same CTD's at YBCG and CityScene GC, which were rendered unuseable on my system by Nick, and I got refund. I followed everything to a T from the KBLU manual, and have no third party scenery in the entire California region. There seem to be little in the way of answers in the forums re this issue. The only airfield of the three which works flawlessly is Gasner Field. I have uninstalled KBLU via Central, and flew several flights out of Gasner to KBLU with different aircraft and without any issues. I feel I have pretty much exhausted my options to make things work, but all of them failed. As opposed to spending more time on this (not enjoyable), I would prefer just to get credit for KBLU (I have all transaction details) and fly in other Orbx areas - all of which work flawlessly. Here's what I went through with the only other Orbx scenery that had ever given me problems (YBCG) : Here are a few of the posts (without solutions and in P3D forums, not FSX) I came across : As you can see, I already spent considerable time on these KBLU sinking plane at CA21, failure to load flight at KBLU, and CTD on KBLU approach issues and have run out of options.

  17. Hi Nick, I did all as you said, and still no answer to my support ticket.
  18. Hi John, I am pretty well just trying to make FSX interesting for the time being, on a 12 year old machine. (I have a W10 laptop for everything else and use this desktop just for the sim). I have never owned any Orbx Australia prior to this point and figured it's time to go out and explore the land down under. I was planning a totally new sim rig last spring and then the pandemic hit and my 'go to' computer shop had to temporarily close down as per gov't regulations etc. Now things are finally starting to re-open, but computer hardware inventory is scarce. Was told it will be a waiting game until mid-year for inventory to come back up. Waiting is good as it allows me to do more research in the meantime re my next build. Thanks, for the feedback. I feel I have gotten good use out of this machine over the past decade, and am looking forward to a new one very soon. Milan ......
  19. On March 17th, I replied once again to support ticket. Patiently waiting.
  20. Will do. Thank-you, very much for your help and guidance here. My 12 year old system was to be replaced before the pandemic hit, now it finally looks like this will happen this year, as things slowly will get back to normal. Can't wait, lol ! Cheers, Milan .......
  21. Hi Nick, Unfortunately no joy with a newly created FSX config file. Sim crashes at start with same errors and popup as described in my first post above. The trigger is YBCG addon airport and/or CityScene Gold Coast installed. Both give the g3d.dll error. (Event log same as described above.) Without these 2 scenery packs all is OK. Flew the 2hr 15min trek from YBCS Cairns by Gerald Marshall to the AU V2 of YBCG without problems. With these 2 installed, the sim freezes and crashes as soon as get within 10mi or so of the Gold Coast region (probably the same time this scenery is getting called on to load into the sim). Other AU payware Orbx airports (Cairns) load fine. Also flying over AU V2 Melbourne from YMML is fine. I don't think scenery complexity/density plays a role here. Thanks, Milan ...
  22. I have Ultimate Traffic 2 running in my FSX Deluxe Edition with SP1&2. It uses it's own GA and airlines sliders, not those in FSX. 1) Does your AU AI traffic use FSX sliders to control traffic density ? or is it just simply on or off ? I know some of the Hawaiian scenery I have contain AI traffic files and traffic is on or off based on the traffic file name state (.off) in the scenery, provided FSX traffic sliders are at least 1% for both GA and airlines. 2) Is your AI traffic compatible with UT2 ? 3) I assume your AI traffic is installed via Orbx Central ? Can it be turned 'off' at will (say if I just want UT2 for a flight) ? Is it also uninstalled via Central if needed for some reason ? Thank-you, Graham .
