Jack Sawyer Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 After all the Orbx stuff yesterday I picked LOWW at random and flew towards Vienna. Amazing detail. I NEED a new video card. Now, I ask you, how can I resist? There must be something wrong with me to want to go inverted all the time. Look at this wonderful detail. And I love these churches! That forest, like all forests, is so darned inviting to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you kind sir for the offer! I really appreciate it, but I have an NVIDIA 980 with only 4GB on it. This fall I am going to have the people who built it, Jetline (because I'm too dumb to build one myself) rebuild it when I get my inheritance money. May I ask a question though? With the 1080 does it increase FPS or allow for higher settings or both? I'm very curious as to how it will work in the sim. Does Orbx-land look even more striking? Like Iain's new board, it makes Orbx scenery look breathtaking! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it dramatically improved with the settings I was using with the 980, but I love candy so I naturally raised the bar with the 1080 and guess what....bingo a slight decrease in FPS...JV stated just recently that a strong CPU will help keep FPS up with v4. I noticed today after I installed AS16 beta flying around Vancouver and Seattle in cloudy skies I'm taking a beating with frames.... so I will adjust accordingly. No big deal... I'm a tweaker...WAIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't see Mr. JV's post about a stronger CPU making it better, I'll be getting that upgraded too this fall. Can't wait. 30 minutes ago, bernd1151 said: Great shots, Jack. Vienna is a wonderful city, you would love it there Thank you Bernd, I sure would. It's on my bucket list. Along with Italy, gosh would I love to see that church with the roof in Florence, I saw a YT on it recently. And Rome, Venice, Milan, Tuscany, and the village where Leonardo lived. That would be a dream of a lifetime come true for me my friend. 25 minutes ago, lixfeldt said: Yes great shots Jack...the wife and I river boated down the Danube last year.

I would like nothing more than to sit on a boat like that down the lovely Blue Danube (LOVE that song!) and have a glass of wine and enjoy life. At least I can do it in the sim. It's amazing that this is default Orbx Global, or is it Orbx Europe LC? I dunno, I have them all that they released so far and I'm loving it.

But one thing I've noticed is despite low frames (I have everything maxed out, for now) it's still much smoother than 3.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I like roller coasters so what's the difference, flying is even better! I never liked roller coasters, the mechanic in me doesn't trust the maintenance. Heck, when I used to go to the little goofy carnival where I live I'd inspect the Ferris wheel before I got on it. I didn't like missing cotter pins or corrosion. They even use safety wire, in some spots but it's missing in others! And when I fly with a friend in a light plane I have to inspect it first. It's the A&P in me.

René Bachmann Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Are you using any other add ons than orbx? As I lived and still work in Vienna I have to say this is really close to reality. For sure some major POIs are missing like the AKH or the DC Tower, but if this is just OLC Europe its really superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rene, nope, this is just what Orbx delivered yesterday. If you live and work there gosh, that's an enviable life. It would be great to visit there someday.
