  1. @bradb, thanks for the mention, much appreciated. @John Heaton, the Duxford video you mention is here: https://youtu.be/WdriA2RuiNo The maker of that video then made another video to explain how he does it: https://youtu.be/XTDe9cXsL_8 It is basically using this: https://joinfs.net/ So with the above, as well as use of drone camera and, of course freeware and payware add-ons, you can achieve that sort of thing. It seems to be quite complicated and time-consuming, but you could make virtually a whole movie or documentary if you were so inclined. I guess, in my own case, in my relatively new YouTube channel, I keep the production values much simpler and concentrate on other values such as history, geography, maps etc for those who, like me, are interested in such stuff. But I can see there is space for both types of production. https://youtube.com/channel/UCqCzobOlQLeGycCFnavVrPg
  2. Nice pics. Here’s a bit of interesting history. Cheers. https://youtu.be/YM7fQTg-Gk8
  3. Great scenery from Orbx and great pics. from @renault. Here’s a bit of history in case you missed it a few days ago. Cheers. https://youtu.be/d-9cpm2Jmm0
  4. Using Orbx's YMEN Essendon Fields Airport scenery. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
  5. Thanks John. Of course you are correct, ie his first point of contact in Australia was Brisbane and then he went on to Sydney, Melbourne etc. He had to get that adulation wherever he could! He will feature again in my Melbourne/Essendon video which should be out in 3 or 4 days. Looks like I will have to do a video on Brisbane as well! Maybe all the Aussie capital cities! I love this aviation history stuff, especially when there is some Orbx stuff to go with it. Cheers.
  6. @paulk, thanks for your comment and question. No perceived performance hit with the Junkers, as far as I could tell. Had High-End setting on my medium rig for the whole trip with good fps - probably could have used Ultra setting as I am doing now for my next video on YMEN Essendon history and Melbourne City and Bay tour. Cheers.
  7. Oh, I am with you on this great suggestion @Dr Smith. Cheers.
  8. de Havilland Dragon Rapide evening under-fly of Orbx's Eiffel Tower, Paris. Cheers.
  9. Yeah, thanks Brad, knew about them, but no Spit unfortunately. I think UK and NZ are only places where you can go in a Spit. BTW, how the hell did you get to 36.6K posts! Cheers.
  10. To fly in a spit has always been my dream. My wife says go for it, but I think too expensive. On my last visit to the UK I was standing on the top of Dover Castle with my wife and son when two spits flew by. They thought it was OK - but I nearly peed myself! Anyway, hope you have great weather and it is everything you want it to be. How long is the flight and how much? Cheers.
  11. I love visiting this airport when in the UK from Melbourne, Australia. Will you be including the beautiful RAF Chapel and new Museum, and the Spit and Hurricane at the entrance gates to the chapel and museum? How about including Winston Churchill’s nearby home, Chartwell - he was a frequent visitor to the airport - it would be a nice bonus, but now I’m being greedy! Cheers.
  12. Nice for my home town of Melbourne. I got my Recreational Pilot License at Tyabb along with X-country Endorsement, and then went to Moorabbin for CTA Endorsement which required some flights into Avalon and Essendon. I pop in to the pilot shop at Essendon every now and then - next time I might pop in and annoy the Orbx staff! Cheers.
  13. Visit KBDR Sikorsky Memorial Airport to see the birthplace of helicopters and the mighty WW2 Vought F4U Corsair fighter-bomber, and enjoy a quick tour of New York. Using Orbx/SamScene New York City Landscape. Cheers.
  14. I read somewhere recently, not sure where, that Orbx (and I think Gaya) are heavily involved in MSFS World Updates. Cheers.
  15. I fear this may turn into yet another fruitless it’s bad/it’s good debate. Orbx taking over MSFS? - pie in the sky. Cheers.
  16. Sorry I cannot help, other than to say that this cannot be an issue with Orbx! Cheers. PS: The usual trouble-shooting method is to temporarily remove all freeware and payware add-ons and return them one at a time.
  17. Thanks so much Brad, much appreciated. Comments like this keep me going because when I started these videos in March I did not realise that it takes very many hours just to produce a 15 minute video! So alot of work, but I love real-life recreational flying, simming, Orbx, msfs, history (especially aviation), geography, maps etc - and these videos bring all that together. One needs a passionate hobby in retirement. I still need to further develop my video-making skills! Cheers.
  18. Nice memories John. There was another young engineer, an airport engineer even younger than you at the time, rushing around finishing things off at the new airport - that was me! I was probably there when you and your family landed! So nice memories for both of us. Cheers.
