Whenever I try to open a user guide for any of my Orbx MSFS products via Orbx Central I get an error message, saying there was no user guide available. Is this normal, are there really no user guides available for Orbx MSFS products?

I like this effect in MSFS. Sharp what is in focus unsharp what isn't. Just like on a real photo. Edit: and how it the human eye sees it IRL.

But what you say could also indicate, that the second but least Navigraph airac was faulty. Or didn't you have Navigraph installed before the release of the last airac, i. e. when you had the issues?

I have to correct myself. I did a bit of flying around LOWI yesterday and it seems as if only the VASI (PAPI) AT rwy 26 is working. At 08 it still only shows 4 white lights, no matter of the approach angle.

I have posted the following also in the other "LOWI runway" thread: All those runway issues are strange and I cannot reproduce it. I did run MSFS Standard via the MS Game Pass for the past 4 months and never ever had any problems with LOWI's runway, neither with the default nor with Orbx' version. I had the windsocks and VASI issues though. 10 day ago I did a complete uninstall of MSFS and then over Christmas a complete new install of MSFS Premium Deluxe using the boxed DVD set and all the necessary updates and patches via the internet. Again, the default LOWI ran flawlessly. Today I redownloaded and reinstalled Orbx' LOWI and still have not any runway issue with this aiport, no bumps (with or without snow). Even the VASIs are now fully functional again. I haven't checked the windsocks yet, completely forgot about them.

Colours of landscapes sometimes can look completely different from high altitudes than they look from ground level. I first realized that when flying over Autralia's Red Centre and seeing Uluru in midst of vast dirty brownish-grey plains, whereas when looking from ground level (and low altidude flight) the soil colours of these plains is a bright orange red. Aerial imagery used for Google Maps, Bing etc. and subsequently used for flightsim sceneries is mostly taken from satellites or high flying planes, so can differ in colours from how a scenery looks from ground level. Also, for what ever reason, many photos used by Google Maps or Bing have an unnatural greenish hue, which unfortunately can be seen in many areas of the world within MSFS.

Please guys, don't let this become just another "sim A vs sim B" thread. This beautiful scenery of Paris doesn't deserve it.

Long time no see Holger. Good to see that you are still on board.

Ah, gefällt mir!

Tubular Bells?

The shots above remind me of what you have seen during formation flying .

Yes, as can be seen in the map shown in the initial post, Jordan is part of area 1.

I concur, Harvey is great.

Yes, and with Orbx KITW installed it looks almost real.

Would make a nice triangle, Harvey, Monroe and Frontier.

Me thinks it is on the same Island as the last one.

I have a suspect. Could it be another Hegi/Glathorn airport?

Why shouldn't it be included? It is not Orbx' habit to release incomplete airports. I have counted 5 screenshots above in which the GA apron and area can be seen.

It is not covered by LC Europe and wil be covered by Asia 2 as can be seen in the map incl. in the OP, which makes more sense landclasswise than to be included in part 1.

What's up guys? Waiting so long for this but now not one reply and just one like ( in fact two now)?

It is so wuiet here. Hasn't anybody read this announcement:

AFAIK only in MSFS Orbx airports have got no control panel.

Concrete is legend, because either it or Darrington was Orbx' first airport to be developed for PNW. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

But AFAIK he he worked for UA for two more years.

You are really a master of photography Rob.
