No, I'm sorry Greg, it is not Queenstown. I thought (actually hoped
) that it might be mistaken with Queenstown.

Okay, it is Vienna Schwechat Airport (LOWW).
And here is the next one. As mentioned before this was not taken by myself, but I have personally taken an almost identical shot (which I cannot find) of a Qantas (or Qantaslink) Dash 8-300 at exactly the the same parking spot at the same airport. So this may be a hint, a Qantas and an Air NZ Link Dash 8-300 at exactly the same location.

Sherlock Wolfgang has found it again. And the right timing as well: That picture was taken the last spring before Corona.
The only Orbx airports I can (plan) travel to now are Porta Westfalica (already posted here), Innsbruck (same), Jena (don´t own it and have no interest, the German freeware airfields (too small to travel to). Ah, I have one more:
Probably too easy to guess. So... please answer only, if you can reply with a picture from your travels.
I know this one, but I won't answer, because I have no personally taken photo to post.
I remeber to have a spare digital pic of an Orbx airport stored somewhere, but I can't find it. However I had a shot of this airport available which was not taken by myself but was taken at exactly the same spot and looks almost identical. Only the aircraft shown on the pic is different. And it is of an airport which was already featured in this thread. Would it still be okay to post this shot?

Okay, my friends, I do not have very many left - there is no much flying on this planet currently! But let me try to overcome imgur struggles...
Brisbane (YBBN) at low tide. On appraoch to rwy 19, now 19L. In the background one can see the construction of the only recently opened rwy 19R. So you must have been there not long time ago.

Sniper31 is correct! Here is a pic from my sim of the Orbx version of De Vere Field:

I guess that correct guess entitles Sniper31 to post a pic if he has one.....otherwise back to Stillwater....

Amazing how similar this shot looks to the real world one above.

It appears to me this thread is dead... MSFS absorbs all attention. I just throw "Walter Suttons?" in the field...
But isn't Walter Suttons amidst of agricultural fields and paddocks?

Auckland Harbour would also be a must have
Not only the Harbour, the whole city including the airport.

... someone from Sydney speculated that the city government had managed to have the bridge patent protected. No idea, whether this is true, but if it would be true, Asobo/MS would have to ask the city government for permission to model it into the sim, hence they didn't bother.
That's really interesting and misterious. But isn't the Harbour Bridge modelled in other sims? So it should be possible to get a permission. But I like the idea that this was the reason for not modelling the bridge.

It's almost like Orbx was working on them long before August 18th ..............
Yes exactly. Orbx says in the introductory post of this topic "Over nine months in development, Cityscape Sydney is an enormous project that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with the current MSFS SDK. "
So Asobo knew they did not have to bother about a Harbour Bridge.

Yes, I hope so too.

Interesting observation. I've been testing all the aircraft and I'm finding the modelling is incredibly good for default planes. There are things that don't work in some of them sure, but the flight models and the look and feel in the cockpit is pretty damn good. I put the C172 on a par with the X Plane 11 model which is pretty darn good.

And now I kmow, why Asobo was a bit slobby when doing Sydney.

Will this come to P3D too?
I doubt that this detail is possible in P3d. Maybe somtime in P3d10.

There are other aspects of it which make me question the developers' choices, and I keep asking myself "where were the beta testers?"
It seems, many of the alpha and beta testers have been busy making YouTube videos.

Love the airfield, glad to have it back! However the cemetery north of rwy 10 isn't modeled at all. Photo underground is blurry so nothing to see if not modeled 3D. And not being nitpicky but it actually helps as a landmark IRL to align and land rwy10. Yes experienced in reality in 2015.
Rob, what I see from the video you have posted, the cemetery can't be a landmark for aligning to rwy 10, because the runway can be seen long before the cemetery comes in sight. The cemetery is actually hidden by the little forrest IRL.

Hello Wolfko,
Just to chime in.
I am now upgrading my system like you and have just ordered 2 more 8gb sticks of RAM to go with the 2 already in the system. Same make, CL rating etc
This will now give me 32gb over 4 sticks. Just a little way to shave off some cost...
Dave
Dave,
Thank you for ypur response. I only had 2 x 4GB in my system, so I couldn't utilize the old sticks any more. I also wanted to upgrade the RAM frequency to match my MOBO's capabilities.
In the meantime I have bought 4 x 8GB and I am very happy with it.
On 8/19/2020 at 7:37 PM, Donka said:2 x 16GB seems the way to go for a number of reasons - there are potential minor gains going with quad channel but it seems less so in gaming. If you get 2 x 16gb, you have the option of upping to 64gb in total down the line if you ever feel held back.
.
Donka, thanks for your ideas. Unfortunately my rather ancient MOBO supports only a max of 32GB RAM. Otherwise I probably had followed your advice.

Looking at the thousand of people complaîing about MSFS Camera (i am one of them from day 1), i really hope Keven Menard is reading this post as his soft is probably the most anticipated one for MSFS and for a sure a future business hit !!!! We need it ASAP. please.
If you want that Keven Menard is reading your post, then I would rather post it in the Chase Plane forum.

Tempted to get some of the new scenery for MSFS however from what I can see of the streamers all the Orbx buildings do not appear to have any snow textures applied when changing the weather?
Any comments if this is true?

when you make any changes are you being asked to save? if not I suggest a manual save......
So far, when I forgot to hit the save button, I have always been asked upon exiting the menue if I'd like to save the changes.

Is anyone else suffering from the controls assignments disappearing overnight? This is the second time I've fired up the sim and there are no joystick assignments now. Very very frustrating.
No, all fine here.

Funny, that most of the Orbx London scenery add on detractors are newcomers to the Orbx forums.

No, also not Milford Sound.
A hint: I wrote "So this may be a hint, a Qantas and an Air NZ Link Dash 8-300 at exactly the same location." The emphasis on "may".
