Ken Q Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 OK, I'll play. NorCal/SoCal right now. Just flew from San Jose (KRHV) in Orbx North California to Mesa Del Rey, King City (KKIC) in Orbx Southern California. I usually fly the northeast, NY and NE, but I've been enjoying the west coast ever since I bought PNW, NCal and SCal on the last sale. I fly the default FSX Mooney Bravo, and I've been enjoying Tom Tsui's new FIP set for this plane. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaab Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 For the moment, I flight mostly in SAK and PNW with all these small to medium size superb airports with - DHC2 beaver, DHC6 - Twin Otter, - Antonov-AN2 (a recent discovery - thanks to those who gave me the HU), - British AeroSpace HP.137 Jetstream 1 and Hawker Siddeley HS.748 from Classic British Flight Sim - and last but not least the brillant Douglas C47-V3 Thanks to ORBX and those generous aircraft freeware builders.

Well, when I started this thread I was still at work, so was only dreaming about flying at that moment. But, freshly home from work and will soon be flying after dinner. I am feeling some Orbx AU land, so I think I will start my flying tonight up around Cairns. As to the aircraft, I am not sure yet as I was planning on possibly buying a new plane this evening. I will report back later with the outcome Great stuff guys, keep the posts coming! It is very cool to see where everyone is spending their sim time currently and in what machine Who's next?

Stewart Hobson Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Flying the Flight1 B200 King Air from KMRY Monterey to KSMF Sacramento this evening, just to test some settings to avoid a large VAS drain flying in NorCal. So far, so good. The plane, for those who don't know, is a big VAS hog if you insist on flying over dense areas and lots of weather and AI aircraft.

Mickel Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Last trip was Van Nuys to Santa Catalina for a look, with the intention of returning to Santa Monica in the P-51D. Ended up at Palm Springs as all were clouded in. Next trip (or two) will be stop and goes at Palm Springs to get the hang of applying the power without big swervey things going down the runway. After that will probably be the Strat from Shannon to Brussels for PAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Me next, and what an interesting idea Sniper. After doing my umpteenth re install after Centralv3 came into being I am currently doing a flight from every ORBX airport starting with the North American ones. I am doing them as to their order on the ORBX FTX site. So I have just done a flight around Stewart I am also installing a couple of aircraft at a time and one of today's was Ant's Sierra. 32. Next, I have just installed three default airliners so I will add some liveries to them and maybe take an LH 744 from LDDU to EDDB if I have the time!

Let's have some fun and see where and what everyone is doing in flight sim land! Good idea ! I do a lot of stomping, these days, between Markarth and WIndhelm but I digress. Right now, I am flying the Lotus Simulation L-39 from Tokushima to Omura AFB (Nagazaki bay) in Japan. OrbX Global and Vector do an excellent job there for what they bring to the table. Unfortunately OrbX seems to have no interest developping in Asia (yes, this is a not very subtle bait), so one must add 3rd party addons to get the whole picture so to speak, namely the rather good freeware Haruo LC map, an airport freeware for Tokushima and a payware for Omura. A very enjoyable flight. Sniper, interested by your sharing your experience with your new bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Currently flying from Edinburgh (Scotland) to Parafield (South Australia) following route flown by George Wright and Kate Clements in 1968 when they migrated to Australia and decided to do so by flying a Beagle (Auster) Terrier. I am flying a freeware Auster J1 Autocrat (which as close as I can get to a Terrier; also it is noted that Beagle were bought out by Auster) currently parked at Southend EGMC readying for departure to Koksijde EBFN (Belgium). They were actually flying to Calais however due to bad weather ended up at Koksijde which was and still is a military airfield however I am trying to stay true to where they actually flew. Been great using Orbx Scotland and England scenery and will sorely miss their great scenery until I get to Australia where I can again pick up Orbx Australia.

BrianU Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi Jack, Not sure if the base app will connect to FSXFlight to get you connected to FSX. I pay 99 a year which includes all VFR sectionals, aerial maps, terrain maps, airport plates, taxi diagrams, weather and airport info by touching dot at airport. The dots are color coded green=VFR red=IFR etc. Radar for precip, satellite for clouds and synthetic vision, my favorite is extended runway center lines when approaching an airport to position yourself on approach. Active Sky set to real world weather works amazing with this also. It's great when you use a monitor but not so if you're using VR. It really makes navigating in FSX fun and you are always aware of what town, highway, bridge, lake, river you're flying over especially with Orbx areas. I use it flying my home built with an adsb receiver as well as FSX so subscription is worth it. I find it incredible for FSX though. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Kane Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My prefered aircraft is the PMDG NGX and I tend to fly Westjet routes or Air Alaska and sometimes Southwest Airlines. This is great coverage of North America. Alternatively I will fly Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia or QANTAS for New Zealand or Australia. Rarely I fly European routes If I do Props I like the King Air or B1900D from Carenado. I like hauling passengers around and sticking to real world schedules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could afford a subscription like that, it would add a whole new dimension to my Orbx flights. I have AS16, but I have no idea what an adsb reciever is, is this how you connect it to FSX? Also, I have P3D. @Sniper31 by the way, I have been getting a lot of email notifications from this thread and I love it. I'm amazed at how different and varied people's flights are over Orbx land. This was a great idea! It's not only interesting but has given me some good ideas of where I might possibly fly in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 This is a great topic, Sniper! I just purchased the Dash 8, and I'm planning a lot of regional flights that mimic real world Horizon Air routes. Prior to that, I spent the majority of my time in ORBX NCAL, CRM, and PNW. My go-to airplanes are the A2A warbirds, the P-47 in particular, the Classics-Hangar Fw190 and Bf108, and the RealAir Lancair. Most of my flights were between 60-90 minutes. Some were meticulously planned, and some were not. Hoping I learn a lot as I journey forward with the Dash 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 So tonight, I flew out of and around the venerable YSCH Coffs Harbour airport (still one of my favorite Orbx airports) and surrounding AU area.
