Jack Sawyer Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Orbx everything, even weather theme. Was doing VAS testing. Whereas the Winjeel for a 15 miles flight from 77S to directly north I almost had an OOM, this flight in the Duke I had 1120 MB left. So I think it's the PNW which is well known for poor FSX code which made its way into P3D. More testing needed. Anyway, 0CL0 to KBLU. Summer, day. Adam's PTA 20_08. This valley was very cool looking KBLU really sneaks up on you! This place is so well done, one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev D Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Nice shots Jack. That Realair cab is one of the best still, even though no longer available. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as nice as PDX's PowerPoint file but I use a grease pencil on this laminated USA map, have a global one on the other wall. It helps me visualize with Orbx airport to fly to next.

Bermuda425 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Blue-chip shotz Jack! I like the lighting in those first few caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lighting is all Adam's PTA 20_08. It's really good. I was doing my Orbx to Orbx flights and as I do I always check the FSUIPC VAS log when I'm finished. This time I had an astonishing 1120 MB left. The weather was Orbx's theme #4. Getting extemely low VAS from 77S to KEUG though. I wonder if it's the dreaded Microsoft area that supposedly wasn't coded correctly? Anyway, glad you liked them. It was a nice flight but I have to tell ya, KBLU being on that plateau looks really short at altitude and approach. It's a difficult place to fly INTO because it's surrounded by those mountains. But that makes it all worthwhile. I wonder if being so high up is the reason they have those telesocpes there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBLU is a great airport but SCARY to land at...I get disoriented when approaching an airport on a bluff...palms get sweaty, very nervous..goosebumps...great fun for a couple of dollars worth of scenery add on!
