Jack Sawyer Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have to say this is a beautiful yet Mars-like area. I didn't know just how huge it is. So I did some helicoptering around for a few minutes testing VAS with the new drivers from NVIDIA. 100% success! I would never be here if wasn't for the sale! I love it! Thanks Orbx guys!

Jack Sawyer Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Looks like Georgia where I live, we're lousy with red clay. I'd like to get that old CD they made, a slideshow back in the 90's called "From Alice To Ocean." I just looked at Amazon, it's a book. On my to buy list. I'll bet it too is very interesting reading.

hwh86 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Welcome to the red center of OZ Jack. From Alice a trip to Ayers Rock is a must. Create a VFR flight plan and try it. You'll find the most bleak, monotonous scenery and the biggest sacred rock God has ever created. Keep you camera ready mate. Cheers, Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nice set Jack. I have Orbx AU Australia, so the foundation is there. Now need to sort what put on it. I think Alice is a starter though, based on your shots. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it VFR, do not forget the MacDonnell Ranges and Gosses Bluff crater. Interim OZx landing spots are Hermannsburg and Areyonga. 12 hours ago, VH-KDK said: You have yet to go to Tassie or SW Western Australia. Oz is a big place. Sure he has.

I started with PNW, and then because of not many releases, I ventured into Australia - bought quite a number of airports. I do need to revisit Australia. All of my purchases then were on DVDs, so I don't get access to the latest updates. Still waiting for the transfer. I must get back there again! In the meantime, I have been enjoying the sale ( like you) and purchasing regions and airports that I would probably not purchase at full price.

They blend with Orbx, they started what later became Orbx. Yes they should be installed in a logical order, indicated by the version number, they are worth it. They produce all the airports to complement Orbx not to compete against them. The quality is superb and it's free. It is good form though to make a donation.
