anfield ace Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hi Guys, Just wanted to thank Richard, for all his hard work for the new POI's, especially for Lincoln Cathedral (Near where I live), and the Runcorn Bridge (Near my old home town of Liverpool)... Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Kealy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm glad someone has mentioned the Runcorn Bridge- it was the first thing I checked out in the update. To be honest I'm disappointed in it. The default bridge used in FSX actually looked like Runcorn Bridge and so I assumed this England update would be as good/ better but it doesn't quite do it justice. I'm tempted to think I'm being too critical but I remember the original FSX version of the bridge being surprisingly good. That aside, thanks for the England service pack.

Museumkeeper Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi Richard Many thanks for all your hard work improving FTX England, not just by changing any errors reported but by the way that you managed the requests as they came in (not an easy task). I am particularly pleased with the changes that you made to the Channel Islands, a great place to visit either personally or virtually. Kind regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Well, here is what I have to say on EU England and the update.... I just got a new 34" Ultra Wide LG monitor a couple days ago, I downloaded and installed the latest EU England SP5 yesterday, and then last night I loaded up my trusty A2A Spitfire and took off from Fairoaks airfield, and headed to Compton Abbas. OMG, EU England has never looked so good! Between the Ultra Wide monitor, and the updates to the scenery, I am looking at the England scenery with renewed interest. It is gorgeous! Before, when flying over the England scenery, even with FTX Global Mesh 2010 installed and all the Orbx goodness (HD Trees, all the EU regions, FTX airports), it looks kind of flat and featureless. Of course, there are exceptions in some of the hillier areas, but by and large, the EU scenery was enjoyable, but I just wasn't spending as much time flying there as I was the West Coast of the USA, Norway and New Zealand. But now, with the aid of the UltraWide monitor, I am seeing all the details so much easier. I can see the little draws and creekbeds, the hedgerows and farmers plots, the small rises and dips in the geography. It's a whole new look! Bottom line, it's causing me to re-discover the EU scenery and I am loving it! So, I know the update was fixing and adjusting details that I would not be aware of since I have never set foot down in that part of the World, but I am appreciative of all the hard work just the same. I can't wait to get home and explore more tonight and rediscover what is not new but IS new! Great work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhasdell Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 "But next service pack should be fine for Chelmsford. Don't miss it" That sounds promising. Can I put in an early bid for the famous "black sheds" at Farmborough? Meanwhile, thanks for SP5. At last I can fly over the Tamar bridges without suppressing a shudder.☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amord Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks Sniper, is the 34" corner to corner as usual screen sizing ? I have a 32" TV screen that is about 27" wide by 15.5" high? So I wondered how it shaped up that way. Edit: Ok I just found it in the specs page; DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT Without Stand (WxHxD)32.7" x 15" x 1.9" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amord Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I found one over here for $665, probably a bit more than you might expect over in your neck of the woods. By the way I thought I'd try out the England SP5, took a trip from Ireland to the Isla of Man and it was pea soup fog !! Sometimes ASN is just too realistic. I didn't mean to hi-jack this thread.
