AUD 106.00????
This is considerably more than the costs for MSFS standard edition itself are. That's just plain ridiculous.

The best thing about MSFS photogrammetry is that it can be turned off. It looks ugly, takes ages to load and hampers performance much more than the autogen buildings. I was disappointed to see that the Sydney cityscape update was created to work best with the default photogrammetry turned on and there's no option to adapt it to the situation when photogrammetry is turned off, but obviously most people don't seem to mind the awful quality of the PG and those who turn it off are the minority.
I object. For me photogrammetry is one of the best festures of MSFS. Without it MSFS cities and autogen buildings look just like default P3d, FSX or XPlane.

Isn't such a beacon at most airports?

I think I will not follow the carrot, because PMDG has hugely disappointed me once. Many years ago though, but sometimes I'm like an elephant.

Wolfco - in those days most people smoked and even cigars where allowed with your Cognac after the meals
Yes, I rember those smoking times on planes.
One funny thing was that many smokers in economy class bought non smoking seats and only briefly entered the smoking area, usually in the back of the planes, when they wanted to have a smoke. They just couldn't stand the smelly air during an entire flight.

I think, I wouldn't like to fly nonstop for such a long distance/time (more than 20 hours). When flying to Australia I am always looking forward to the stops in Southeast Asia, like Singapore, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. Even the 15 hours from Dubai to Australia seem to be endless. Thus a stop is always very convenient. It interrupts the boredom and an hours walk through an exotic airport is interesting and good for your health (thrombosis!).
And you'll get one more take off and landing, the best parts of a flight.
PS: And I am glad I am not a smoker.

We had tickets for his concert here in Hanover in 2020, but it was canceled due to a virus. I can only hope he may try again in 2023…
At Christmas 2019 my wife bought 2 tickets for an Eric Clapton show in Munich in June 2020, which was postponed to June 2021 due to Corona and eventually to 02 June 2022. Fortunately the old tickets are still valid and we are very much looking forward to this concert.

That's a difficult one I can't answer, because my musical taste changes on a regular basis, even genres come and go.

One thing I like about MSFS: collisions with airport vehicles and ai planes will not cause crashes but collisions with airport buildings will.

In French and in German the the equivalents of the word castle (Château, Schloss) are very often used also for mansions and palaces. So many of those 6400 buildings would not be considered to be a castle by native English speakers.

Hello,
here is the text from Orbx Direct.
It does not seem to include the word castle or the number 6400
Here is the text from the Aerosoft site, advertising a different product that Orbx Direct does not offer.
However, the smallest amount of research reveals that the internet thinks that:
so it may well be the case that the text in the product offered by Aerosoft is accurate.
Nick, me thinks the Aerosoft and the Orbx products are identical. And in the Aerosoft product description, which you have quoted, it says "6400 castle".
Anyway, that number seems to be quite realistic for this area.
Edit: BTW, I think the definition of castle differs between the French and the British.

first 3 = 3 locations
middle 9 = 9 different planes
last 3 = 3 screenshots per location
(it all refers to my previous posting '3 + 3 + 3' and never putted the '= ?' behind, it was not a math question !
Thanks mate! This relieves me a bit.

And also yes, Tegel does not exist any more as public airport. Only its northern area is now used as a military heli base.

I'm confused.....your figures 5+7=13
You like all 10 shots, thank you...but...I'm curious for that 10th shot you like 
In this post I submitted 9 screenshots, not 10.
Grest set of shots.
But I don't get the title too. 3+9+3 ??
But I guess my IQ is dropping by getting older.

@wain71 Do you know by any chance, if there is also an RJ version in the pipeline?

Fast forward, one and a half month later - only now I saw all your birthday wishes. That's sooo embarrassing! A big belated thank you to all if you guys. And one more thank you to @Sniper31 for the "young man".
And Happy Easter to everyone!

Hi Wolfko
Yes, there are loads of planes, but not where i would like to see them. The passenger side is empty. What I hope to see is something like Tweed, New Haven, as a model. This is a contentious point, those who like the visual depth that a static airliner with airside equipment brings, and those who want the airside clear for ai and 3rd party traffic. I hope that Orbx can satisfy both options, within MSFS.
Neil
Oh I see. Now I understand.

G'day everyone!
My name is Brock you can call me tommo:) and i am living on thursday island and i was wondering of anybody could create a hospital scenery for me? i live really close to YXTI (thursday island hospital) and i would love to fly there in p3d! i can take as many photos as you need im only 15 so i dont have much money
Welcome to the forums, Brock aka Tommo.
I am no scenery designer but I'm sure the folks in the know will answer your request.

I remember times when Orbx released no more than one or two airports and one larger area per year.

We too have Mothers Day in Austria today. So Happy Mothers Day!

).
