Great set of shots Adam.
Can't place the Orbx airfield though?
& given it's 100F outside & therefore I move more slowly & become more curmudgeonly by the hour , I have to admit to a modicum of p- offednees with AH in that there are flyers hoping they are not 6' under when the DC-3 is finally released in November!
I believe AH had a completed DC-3 & shelved it for Asobo, then recently pumped out a Chipmunk & Swift!
IMHO it should have been DC-3, Chipmunk & Swift, in that order.
Grumble, mumble, where's the ice water?

Good choice.
It will encourage me to explore this Continent assiduously.

A complete reinstall is akin to recovering from an enema.
It is an opportunity to load back only what you need/want, vs the bloated set up that occurs after several years of unflushed accumulation that slowly constipates your load up times & FPS.
See it as a cleansing opportunity.

2 shots at making an ILS landing on Rwy 23 at Yeager Airport, using the JF BAE 146-200 in, I think, a retro Continental Express livery.
Both unsuccessful.
Attempt 1, too high.
Attempt 2, too low, but I did get to see some amazing trestle work they have as part of the approach lights structure.

West Virginia, North of KCRW
ILS #1, too high.
ILS #2, too low too far out.

Perched 922' up on a plateau in the wilds of West Virginia, Yeager Airport offers 2 challenging ILS approaches.
An Orbx sale is a time to loosed the purse strings!.
Interesting location, came into Rwy 05 after a short hop from KHTS.
Bishan tree/bush colors everywhere on the way to the airport.
Initial impressions - nicely done, & a lot of car parking!
If you fly East Coast USA then don't let this one pass at a bargain price.
A few early morning shots from the airport during the 1st visit, which won't be the last.

Ignore the DC-3 wing planted in the passenger embarkation unit.

Interesting perspectives of an interesting City.
I was last there about 48 years ago & I remember a Greek community within the City where the more elderly immigrants from Greece had never needed to learn English as they had Greek language newspapers & a microcosm of their old life & its food & traditions.
I also visited Sydney but preferred the more laid back approach to life that Melbourne had, plus its parks & trams.
Crossing the roads in Sydney was an exercise in attempted suicide.

Nice! How'd it make out?
Rolled right at runway threshold in wind gust, BUT, I subsequently discovered there is a setting in the MCDU/Aircraft set up that can tell it to hold the center line, & I didn't have that on.
Will try again with the 'Centered' setting.

Discovered that the PMDG 737-700 can Autoland & tested it at EPKK with success, where it landed on its own before I took over the roll out.
Tried at KBUR v2 after departing Rwy 33 & looping around to the North & West before heading back East to ILS/Autoland on Rwy 08.
Whereas EPKK had a 10 kia wind straight down the runway, KBUR had a 14 kia crosswind, & that was my undoing.
The 737 captured the glide path ok & I had both AP's on & it was holding 140 kia right to the edge of the runway when a gust caught it & tipped it right before I could cancel the AP.
However, its worth another shot & I would think a dawn or dusk approach into KBUR v2, (which is looking pretty good), would be quite spectacular with all the surrounding suburb's lighting.

Just departed KBUR v2 Rwy 33 & headed North.
Swinging to the North West over the Simi Mountains near Burbank.
On the way in to Rwy 08 in Autoland mode. The glide path was captured about 8 miles out & the 737 flew down it very smoothly.

Great set of shots & perspectives that could easily be promotional material such are the level of fine detail & grand vistas shown.

Thank you Gentlemen.
The MD-82 is one of the older aircraft I have enjoyed getting to grips with.

Leonardo MD-82 flying an ILS approach into Rwy 24 at ENAL.
Short hop from ENML & landing straight into the sun.
It took several attempts to sort out the MD-82 ILS. You need to come in straight towards the runway center line & steady, below [in my case], 2,500', for the Captures to occur.

You have to go get it from the store first.
So you don't mean the 'My Products ' Listing down the left side of OrbxCentral?
I'll try what you suggest.
Thanks
[ok, it is a Zero Cost Purchase ilo an Update.
I treated it as the latter.
D/L now.]

yeah I'm not seeing the new version either. reinstalled it is still version 1.1
Update: Figured it out, there are 2 KBUR in the pick list. Uninstall the Version 1.1 first, then Select KBUR V2 and install it.
What do you mean by the 'pick list?
I am not seeing V2 anywhere, even after uninstalling v1.01

In Orbx Central there are two KBUR Hollywood Burbanks listed. Make sure you select V2, which you have to download.
Ok
I am not seeing v2, only 1 entry & its v1.o1.
Strange

To clarify the version.
I just uninstalled Burbank & reinstalled & it is showing v1.1.
Is this in fact v2?
Appreciate it being a free upgrade.

My Sim budget has been overwhelmed by the recent plethora of aircraft releases.
But Podgorica has the mountains, tricky approaches & runway lengths that can take the 737 & 146 & MD-82.
I like the little touches - shot 9 down, the tractor pulling the luggage carts, & shot 10, the pink flowers in the shrubbery.
I don't recall seeing colored shrubs before, but they add to the beauty of the site.
The terminal interior is tastefully executed.
& there appears to be a military presence in the vicinity of the airfield.
All in all an, interesting airport & location.

If you're looking for a big airport, to tied you over, Flytampa's KBOS is available now via Orbx.
But this assumes you fly into the USA
Speaking of FlyTampa, I am wondering why their MSFS Las Vegas is not available though Orbx??

MSFS: SA Mesh, S.East of Bogota

Trying out the new mesh in 'lowlands', South East of Bogota.
Ridge lines are sharper, vegetation is pretty lush.
