How did you manage not to spill your Scotch on the way home ? Kevin

Opened Orbx Central and an update for YSSY Fly Tampa to version 5 installed. Have flown from Bankstown and around Sydney and landed at YSSY and every thing went and looked superb. I believe there may be an update for Cityscape Sydney on it's way at some point in the not too distant future, but I could not find anything wrong as far as my old eyes could see. This scenery in my opinion is still the best scenery that Orbx have produced in the 20+ years that I have been dipping my foot into the pond. Kevin. ps. I do have the photgrametry or whatever enabled as well.

Just bought a Honeycomb Throttle for MSFS
greybeard replied to Dadtom65's topic in Hardware and Tech Talk
Not familiar with the said Honeycombe, but just a thought when you say that the mixture has a mind of it's own. After the last update & downdate the AI assist all reset to easy. Even if you set them all back again it would seem to be prudent to recheck after any install or update of anything to recheck that it hasn't done so again. I kidd you not. Hope you get it sorted okay. Kevin -
Some of the promotional shots of the latest airports have been so far out of focus that I have opted not to purchase them until such time as I can see them. Also I do very little flying at midnight. This has only become a major problem recently and I have no beef with the other 85 MSFS sceneries I have purchased through Orbx central. Kevin

And if you are not double vaccinated and fly under the harbour bridge you will be in deep doo doo Kevin -
And here's me thinking that it captures the unpredictable behavior of the Auckland drivers rather well, don't you think? Kevin

It sure is seat of the pants stuff in an A320. I had a blast above Queenstown in a Pitts special back in the day. Now that was something to get the heart rate up. 20 minutes full on aerobatics. The pilot kept asking me if I was okay and I just kept saying just throw everything at it. That was at least 15 years ago and I still can't get the grin off my face. Kevin

announcement Marcus Nyberg joins Orbx full time as Creative Director
greybeard replied to Orbx's topic in Orbx Company Updates
Another leap in the right direction for Orbx. Marcus has shown that he will be more than capable of further upping the game of the team. Marcus, I wish you the success you deserve. Kevin -
Well it's a matter of how long your piece of string is. Are you meaning Orbx scenery & Aircraft or all that is available? As a starting point I can only tell you what I have to give you some idea. I have ( 78 ) scenery's plus ( 3 ) aircraft for MSFS all purchased from Orbx & partners and installed on a 1tb m.2 drive in an Orbx library that is pointed to another 1tb drive that contains MSFS. and has so far eaten up 165GB. The drive with the Orbx library is 212GB. so total of 377GB at this point in time. I don't know about you but I think that I will run out of money before drive space. Hope this gives you some idea, but I suspect that you have a pretty good idea already. Kevin

Well I mean, how could you with such a knowledge of Auckland miss the Bean Rock lighthouse. Please inform me the next time you are going fishing and I will steer clear of you just in case. Kevin

Well Terry I think you need to stand in the naughty corner over this one. A few beers for the Orbx team wouldn't go amiss either Kevin

Hi Paul, I have just tried to replicate the problem using the g1000 172 and can't get any problems. Are you sure you are at Elstree EGTR I ask because you say you stopped to await clearance. There is no traffic control at Elstree and you can just radio your intentions. You could try a different aircraft, make sure the park brake is not mapped to another binding. I see nothing incorrect with the scenery at my end. Hope you get things sorted one way or another. With MSFS a lot has to do with how you hold your mouth Kevin

Hi Rob, only done one flight to check it out as yet and not checked to see what the surprises might be. If that is one of them then that is dead cool. Or it could be if the rope broke Kevin

Wham!! boy did that come out of left field. Another investment coming up. Only problem I have is that each time I go to the Orbx store I end up spending a lot more than I should. Oh well ya have to suffer a little to get the best eh? Kevin

Excellent review Lee, going to be hard to resist this one. I will no doubt make the "investment" in the not to distant future. Kevin

preview EGPF - Glasgow Airport, gateway to Scotland.
greybeard replied to pyreegue's topic in Partner Previews and Announcements
Always nice to have quality work of this standard to look forward to. Best wishes & do hope you reap the rewards for this complex work. Kevin -
Hi Juergen, sorry for the late reply (time zone) and I've been a bit busy. Light up the simulator and when it's finished doing it's thing click on options up the top then General Options. the next screen opens in the Graphics section. On the left side of the screen in blue there is a list of options, click on Data. Scroll down to the bottom of the data screen and you will find an option to delete your rolling cache file. It will rebuild itself without any problem. Do make sure that you disable Asobo LOWI in your content manager before you delete your cache. Look on the left side of the content manager screen and you have an option to show scenery not installed tick that and it will be easy to see if it is inactive. If it is not there then it will still be active and you will have to scroll down on the right side of the screen until you find it. Then simply uninstall it. Sorry to be a bit long winded but it's the best I can do. Don't ya love these flight sims? Kevin
