Delicately crafted compositions designed to display the diversity of detail at Bromma! Very nicely done. What is the dome in shot #6? TTM

Amazing what one misses when one is buried in the bowels of a P3D v5.2HF1, Envtex & Rex 5 Sky Force shot gun marriage. Time consuming & eventually somewhat futile. But to the important matters: Bromma Stunning approach, (shot 1) Fidelity & detail everywhere. I even checked the Braathens Regional Airways ATR 72 registration & it matches shot 14. Nice touch. I see The Lady in Red has company. The Lady in Blue. A kebab fan, no less. Waiting patiently for this one. Septuagenarian patience is a thin commodity. Every new day is a surprise! TTM

For my PC, SU6 required an Xbox update, which was messy as I couldn't find it in the updater. After several iterations in Xbox & rebooting the PC, MSFS Updater showed it had a mandatory update ready & that ran ok. (SU6) However more updates were sitting in the Content section of MSFS & after I had run those I got everything. (It updated earlier updates, such as UK & Nordic) Have you lost your MSFS icon from your PC's Home screen, [where all the icons sit]? On your home screen bottom left, should be a search box. Put MSFS in there & see if you get anything. TTM

Great composition. Well done. TTM

OMG TTM

Creative, stunning, voluptuous. The Lady in Red of course. The airport has masterpiece stamped all over it. & there are trains, or is it light rail? A fascinating location. I hadn't realized the airport was sandwiched into a triangle. Worth the wait. TTM

Succinct & accurate, & I just noticed on another Forum, Asobo/MSFS recommending a freeware airport from.to. TTM

Disappointment - Which & why Julio? With P3D I mainly fly GA & still consider Harvey Field with its smoking BBQ & the train going past, (set up in W16), & the moving hot air balloons, as one of the airfields that has the Orbx 'magic'. Mainly through the aforementioned items. & the moving truck & taxiing GA aircraft. & up one end of the airfield, on the roadside, there is a plane spotter by his vehicle, plus the timber yard is always a good VFR lead in. So I suspect the 'magic' comes from the inclusion of many items of detail, some moving. some not, but the sum of them makes Harvey a go to for me when a PNW GA departure is being considered. In MSFS I am developing more interest in Tube flying & having recently come to some semblance of understanding of the FBW A32NX, I look more closely now at the 7,500' plus length runway offerings, such as Split. I suspect it's harder to make a large airport as interesting as a small GA that has a lot of detail because the 'detail' you put into the larger item can get lost in its vastness. So I tend to look for buildings with some character - rust, grime, weathering: authenticity. Or locations with interesting approaches. Such as the Balkans cluster. It can be difficult to define 'magic' in a simulator product. It probably means different things to different people. Here endeth the ramble. TTM

You appear to be running the very interesting images through an editing program, with an 'effects' in place. I don't think it is Sepia. What is it? TTM

Interesting terminal focused set. We await another set, in an eclectic vein TTM

Norwegian Airlines Bredok3D 737 Max on its way from Split to Malmo, full of sun burnt Scandinavian tourists, I imagine. (The weather is SoFly typical English Summer Day so it is a bit unfair to Croatia to have used that one) This is an initial flight out of Split & from what I have seen of the runway surroundings, the Orbx Havant team have turned out a quality product. I'll have a closer look around the terminal & so on, later. I like the setting with all of its vegetation & various structures, & the landing approach challenges. I watched a YouTube video of a full size approach & was very impressed at how the pilot brought the aircraft low along the face of the hills in the background & at the last moment swung round 180 degrees & dropped it on to the runway. TTM (MSFS)

Nice set. I was having a look at a promo video for the real Split airport & was pleasantly surprised to see that SAS & Norwegian fly in here, as well as British Airways & aircraft out of a variety of European countries. A further incentive to acquire it. TTM

Are these screenshots or photos? TTM

I took an amphibian Cessna from PAKT to PANT, Annette Island, which is about 19NM South of Ketchikan. Short but pleasant flight. I originally headed North, then swung back over PAKT to head to Annette Island. TTM (MSFS)

A few observations. Prior to MSFS, in FSX & P3D, Orbx could run the 'Wedding Cake' model. Layer upon layer of purchasable add ons. (Check the Product page Global section to see what I mean) MSFS has pulled that rug out from under them to a certain extent as many 'layers' are provided in MSFS out of the box. So new ways of creating revenue have needed to be found. The Partnerships arrangement running off the back of Orbx Central is a good move, IMHO. Clip the ticket as a Partner product goes out the door. But MSFS, with its legion of freeware scenery & airport creators must be a nightmare for Orbx. There are some very creative people churning out freeware that can match payware, & it must be galling to have a team working on a payware airport for say 6 months & find someone has beaten you to the punch via releasing a good freeware version before the Orbx version comes on to the market. In that respect Orbx may wish to consider an 'in the pipeline' section of the forum which outlines the airports & scenery & anything else being developed for release in the next, say, 12 months, which could alert Orbx customers & encourage them to hold off from an alternative source purchase, if the quality is there! (Quality - very important) (I suspect there might be something like this now, but it doesn't hit me in the face on the forums. Perhaps it needs more prominence or I need new glasses) [2021 Roadmap - I should read that] Finally, it may behoove Orbx to run some sort of survey in its forums asking readers to rank what they look for in an airfield that triggers them to make that purchase. The buildings, weathering, clutter, moving objects such as tarmac vehicles, shuttle trains, interiors, A1 aircraft, detailed surroundings encompassing the airport, POI on the approach paths, tarmac/taxiway markings? And so on. TTM

The magic of SoFly! TTM

A few more, no Goose this time. TTM

It's in Post #1 & liveries are in .to I can't guarantee your adware request https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/initial-release-grumman-goose-g21a-redux-ii/338063 TTM

I looked through my sparse collection of MSFS Amphibians & alighted upon the Grumman Goose. Entirely appropriate in an Alaska livery. Plus the AP works now, so I can set off for Juneau & go & have a coffee whilst the miles are bled off. A few shots using SoFly Typical UK Spring Day. I think I should have had clear skies & sunshine to do Ketchikan justice. However, WYSIWYG in the set below. Orbx Alaska Mesh is also in place here. Ketchikan is nicely situated on the BC Coast for trips to all points of the compass. An excellent & well rendered choice for Throwback Thursday. TTM (MSFS) Waiting to depart from the Southern end. Juneau is almost dead straight ahead from here. A different perspective of the Goose. Up & away. A stern trawler in the background? Ketchikan is quite compact as regards placement of operations buildings & hangars. The airport is back on the RHS. What is not showing is the flashing line of lead in lights taking you to the runway during an approach from the North.

An astute choice for Throwback Thursday, fits in with the new Alaska Mesh & looks to have an array of detail touches. Plus Amphibians have a 'runway' choice, & its reasonably priced. Nicely done. TTM

I had a look at the MSFS Legacy Converter. Hmmm How does one ascertain the the convertee subject aircraft is pure FSX & not a reworked FS2004 or 'impure'? TTM

Actually, I, to use a common phrase, misspoke! I Got FSX into P3D with the naked undercarriage, not FSX/P3D into MSFS. So how did you get FSX into MSFS?? TTM

Nice work. I've had a couple of theses crouching legless Tigers pulled across from FSX/P3D that fly very nicely. Pure seat of the pants in the absence of gauges. TTM

Distinct no brainer purchase if you like flying in Alaska & the western edges of the Yukon & BC. This is East of Juneau at dusk, a mere scratching of the surface. Very reasonably priced for what you get. TTM (MSFS)

Marcus Thanks for the update. This looks to be an Orbx Classic in the making. TTM
