[Custom Camera Views]

Pete - you're a legend - thanks once again.

Cockpit views all good now with numpad.

Still working on exteriors but getting there slowly.

Compared to the relative simplicity of XP11, MSFS is a complicated beast with far too many settings and options.

My biggest gripe is that it takes forever to load.

I've had it on my system since initial release but only now getting my head around it!

Flying recreational aircraft, which I do in the realworld, is far, far easier.

Best,

Thank you so much Pete for such a detailed and helpful guide to setting everything up.

You make it sound very straightforward, so fingers crossed!

There are many aspects about MSFS that I really like but setting up custom views is a major turn off, not to mention the incessant updates and ultra long loading times.

 

Best,

Does anyone have a really quick and simple way of setting up custom camera cockpit and exterior views in MSFS?

I've watched many videos on how to do it but they all have differing methods, none of which have worked for me.

In XP11 it's so simple - Ctrl plus Numpad to save a view, Numpad to load it.

In MSFS it seems uneccessarily complicated, as is the MSFS user interface. 

All suggestions gratefully received.

[Auckland mountains]

Since installing Orbx mesh for New Zealand in MSFS I have encountered these jagged landmarks in the west of Auckland.

They disappear when you fly away from them. 

Is there a fix for this?

Perhaps a check flight for one of the pilots?

Somewhat ironically this non-precision approach to RW23 in Queenstown NZ requires very precise flying skills!

Not for the faint hearted.

A great watch.

 

 

 

 

[Introducing NZ Mesh for Microsoft Flight Simulator!]

Anything to improve NZ scenery is most welcome so thank you Orbx, but I have to say I'm rather underwhelmed by this.

For me the benchmark is Lyndiman's ortho scenery of NZ for XP11.

It's absolutely stunning and the reason why I haven't completely embraced MSFS.  

[Axonos YPPH Perth]

I have just bought Axonos's wonderful scenery of YPPH for XP11 and have to say it is extremely well done.

Perth has long been neglected in the flightsim world and it's great to have something of this quality.

What puzzles me though is why there appear to have been no preview or release announcements about it, or maybe I've missed something?

I came across it purely by chance on Orbx Central and immediately grabbed it.

Can someone enlighten me as to why it appears to have slipped under the radar?

 

[First Products Announced for Microsoft Flight Simulator]

A quick question for Tony Wrob - will NZ be getting any Orbx love in MSFS apart from Queenstown?

Some of the best (if not the best) VFR flying in the world yet its airports and landmarks neglected by so many developers over the years.
