Jack Sawyer Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 So I updated FTX's England today and wanted to see some of Richard's POI's and I was not disappointed. I just wish I had a list of all the new POI's with the coordinates. I used to love feeding all the pigeons here way back in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard did some very impressive work, like I said, I wish someone would post a list of the coordinates of all of them as I don't live there it's kind of like and Easter egg hunt. 1 hour ago, VH-KDK said: Fantastic tour of London Jack, plenty of wonderful scenery on display here.

It was on my to do list and I received notification the other day but haven't had Time to even turn on the PC. So this evening I decided to update it and have a real quick look. Need to get more time to make some proper flights. But with so much real-world nonsense I'm too busy. Sometimes I wished I lived in Orbx-land, sedate Bella Coola, or gorgeous happening LOWI would be nice. Or maybe live somewhere in NZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not looked at all of the various extras for England yet so I will have to get cracking and find them. You need Google Earth Jack as they are then easier to locate. As I lived close to SW London these were not too hard to find but I will be in the same boat as you with the other parts of ENG. Yes wouldn't ORBX world be a great place to live but not Southern Germany as the aircraft noise is going to be unbearable there in a few weeks. We will have to be neighbours Jack as long as we don't get those twins in the short red dresses mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Fantastic Jack. Glad that reminds you sweet memories. Just open a paper guide of London to discover POIs. It's easier than seeing Google earth when flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get the chance I need to do some more exploring like you did, POI's have always been one of my favorite things to look for. Yeah, Southern Germany, it'll be pretty crowded there as soon as it's released, and the twins in the red dress, more nice POI's! 5 hours ago, stewart1 said: Super set of screen shots Jack I am very surprised you did not try and fly under tower bridge regards stewart Thanks Stewart, I was in such a rush the thought didn't even cross my mind, I was pressed for time. 4 hours ago, Richard Bui said: Fantastic Jack.

oldboy43 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Jack thank for very nice shots from London city. For me not to fly because FPS drops to 5-9. I've old VGA ATI 5750 from 2010 with 1GB of RAM. It's time to buy a new computer. Cheers Karoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 16 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: I just wish I had a list of all the new POI's with the coordinates. Get yourself a good travel book, Jack - meanwhile orbx scenery has so many details that you will need that kind of preparation to enjoy it fully. With so many POIs on display I recognize that traffic jams and tourist masses are missing. Which is natural for a flight sim, but here it pops up to me. 11 hours ago, VH-KDK said: twins in the short red dresses short red dresses? twins? You seem to be calling for me, Martyn?!
