Dadtom65 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hi. Will Orbx be doing a people flow where you can walk around the scenery as in P3D for Xplane please and soon. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 We hope to add animated PeopleFlow to X-Plane at some point, but that is dependant on Laminar adding kinetic boned animation support to the sim. However, PeopleFlow won’t let you walk around in the sim like you with P3D’s Avatar Mode. You can simulate walking around in X-Plane by having your aircraft static on the apron or runway then pressing Shift+8 then C. This puts you into free camera mode where you use the mouse to free-look and the up and down arrow keys to move your height up and down and the < and > keys to move forward and back. Be careful though, as you only have about a 2km range of movement before the ground textures become blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Ok thanks John I didn’t know that, will definitely try that later. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 What ever happened to the days when these programs were used for fight simulation rather than eye-candy? Anyone who's ever been lucky enough to get some time in a Level-D knows that eye-candy isn't high on the "want list" for simulated flight. Or, maybe I've just become a grumpy old ex-pilot who doesn't have any idea of what's "trending" (another word I don't under like or understand).....Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fight simulation? Yeah sometimes between me and my wife, to clarify if I'm allowed to do some flightsimming. But that's than rather more than just a fight simulation.

Now, if I was a jet simmer the only addons i might buy would be a few planes and airports. So ....Orbx don't do planes, Orbx don't do airports that jets fly into. In conclusion therefore I would not be buying anything from Orbx and have no need or desire to be on their forums. I also would have still got a couple of thousand ££££s in the bank over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Sorry if I am going off on a tangent here but I now use FSim as a form of relaxation. I don't need to go through every procedure to get my kicks but just start the plane up, head skyward go to spot view and watch the wonderful scenery and clouds float by. Why I like FSim so much is that there is something for everybody here whatever your preference is. I will stop there as I don't want to hijack this thread. So to the ORBX team, the more realisim and extras you can give us to make the scenery even more lifelike the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Have any of you ever bothered to select an Avatar and go for a walk around an airport. It’s great for seeing the airport in a different light and you never know you might see an Easter egg is it called. God I hate this getting old I was thinking about it just awhile ago and now it’s gone. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I've just put up a little procedure in the Screenshot forum called " I miss Orbx Bob from the FSX days" that will allow you to do a "walk around" an aircraft and also to walk around in the XPlane simulator to go exploring scenery on foot. Hope it will be useful to you Cheers Renault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
