The Polish pilot Lukasz Czepiela succeeded in his attempt to land on the small helipad(diameter=27mtr) at the famous 6* Hotel Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Airborned from the Skydive airstrip OMDU in Carbon Cub Crafter, made as light as possible(empty=425Kg) for a thrilling landing on the platform 220mtr ASL. I replicated this flight virtual and after many attempts I also succeeded to perform this flight, hereby some shots of it. The Dubai-scenery from Orbx is fantastic. I had a pretty strong N-E headwind that reduced my landingspeed to 40Knt in my last attempt, if not a propably overshoot for a diving rescue-flight. You can reed and see the real attempt via follow website: Bullseye Landing: Luke Czepiela lands on Burj Al Arab (redbull.com)

As I'm Belgian, I'm very curious for EBLG (Liège Airport), one of our 3 regional airports. Thank you in advance...

Hi, no there is no texture folder...but...in the model folder are the necessary files that enables visual smoke via 'nzmc_smoke.gltf' and 'smoke_fc.xml'. Regards, Johnny

I have the folder present in the addon-structure:

I don't know of setting(s) for appearing smoke in the sim but here is my shot of about same spot(also via NZA-Add):

Well, at least the people at the terras of shot 2 are protected for the bright sunshine by the parasols...or they can use them as umbrellas if rain is coming... The people sitting at the tables of Kiosk-Coffebar in shot 4 will simple hurry them inside for the coming rain... Nevertheless these shots gives an interesting atmosphere and a natural look of fine cloudy overcast sky that makes MSFS so a good looking sim compare to others.

The tropical destination ant the NorthEast Coast of Queensland-Australia is as City dominated by Cairns and a touristic hub to the nearby Great Barrier Reef. The City and the larger area around is fine modelled by Orbx-partner Impulse Simulations. Hereby a roundflight over the City in a Bell 407 Heli:

Thank you Carlos for the fine reply...but...not interested in the Sovjet livery...for an obvious reason

The largest transport aircraft is the Antonov 225 with an incredible load capacity of 225 Metric Ton. The only complete build plane was detroyed at his home base, the Antonov assembly factory at the Hostomel Airport near Kiev during the first days of the war in Ukraine. Now one year later the plans are to build a simular one as the Mrija with the surviving parts and the partly assembled 2nd never completed plane thanks to investments and gifts to encourage the brave Ukrain engineers to complete this mission. You can buy the fine modelled from Inibuild via the MSFS-Marketplace and in that way you contribute to the build-plan of the simular plane. Hereby an overview while loading and departing from Odesa airport UKOO:

The most spectacular airport to explore after the release of WU12(New Zealand) is the magnificent and meticulous modelled is Christchurh(NZCH) by NZA Simulations. I made an extensive tour of the airport and was so excited by all the details that I collected a growing number of screenshots and was busy exploring for nearly 3 hours. Hereby a selection of 'only' 30 shots out of the 80 that I took, reflecting the most of this beautiful addon for NZ.

Indeed, very nice and crispclear shots. I have also a lot of Orbx TrueEarth Adds in XP11. I wait till these addons are updated for XP12 before I will also buy XP12.

Fine dynamic shot with the vapor effect pulling the upwards G's. But...after an only way up comes a way down...surprise us with a shot 'back to earth'...

Nice vintage aircrafts collection, what type is in the 7th and very obscure shot?

In the growing sublime airport/aerodrome/airfiled serie of fine modelled addons from Orbx-partner Burning Blue Design, hereby some shots of Fenland Aerodrome(EGCL) situated in Lincolnshire - regio mid-eastern England and arriving in my latest added plane in my hangar -> Vans RV-10 sportsplane. Off we go to explore more exciting destinations

A majestic vintage deltawing, must be impressive to see in reality. I still in consideration to buy XP12. I have so many XP11-addons that maybe not fully compatible in XP12 and I don't want to invest again to make those working properly in XP12. If Orbx will update their excellent TrueEarth products then I propably will change-over...

On the English Southcoast between Southampton and the Island of Wight, at the shores of The Solent(=inlet to Southampton Harbour) is Solent Airport(EGHF). Again fine and detailled modelled by Orbx-partner Burning Blue Design. Hereby some captures finalised with a flight in a historic WWII Spitfire:

The Island Martha's Vineyard a little out of the coast of Massachusetts measuring 30 x 15 Km is a touristic destination and is 110 Km Sth of Boston and 280 Km NthEast of NewYork. Apart of a non-used old airport(Trade Wind) in the northern part, the actual airport is simply called Marthas's Vineyard Airport(KMVY) and near the sandy southcoast at Katama is an Airpark(ICAO 1B2). Both are nicely modelled by Orbx-partner Burning Blue Design. Hereby an overwiew via some shots of both: the airport is about every minute overflown by ducks in V-shape just like the real deal when they performing a seasonal migratian

I have a current saldo of 200 Orbs. Is it possible that a given addon-price is lowered by the value that represent the amount of Orbs during the proces 'Add to Cart' ?
