VH-KDK Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Computers and I go together like oil and water or apple pie and ketchup! I would have to be the most computer illiterate person here which is why I had so much trouble getting the Netherlands scenery downloaded and installed. Well after getting some good adhesive and gluing the tower and monitor back together again(just kidding)I finally got it all working. So here are my first images from this new era in ORBX scenery. 1. I suppose this was an appropriate aircraft to use for a first flight and from EHAM which always makes me think of London! I have always been fascinated by the remote runway 36L/18R here. 2. The Noordzeekanaal with one of the "static" boats moving so slowly you don't notice it moving. Stewart, if you look below the plane you can see the Northern Dutch Alps but this is not where you go skiing in this part of the world. 3. Looking to the North Sea and IJmuiden with Haarlem district on the left. 4. For those downhill skiiers you can just make out Snowplanet on the right just below the canal. More important at the bottom left are the sluice gate system at the mouth of the Noordzeekanaal with the North Sea. 5. At Bloemendaal aan Zee you can see plenty of detail along the sea front. You can also clearly see Circuit Park Zandvoort below the plane. 6. Zandvoort is one of the most important sea resorts in the Netherlands. It also boasts the countries top motor racing( which I have now noticed and edited in its presence in image5) venue as well as a nudist beach! Nup, we will keep flying, it is nearly lunch time and I don't want to see any beached whales 7. Katwijk aan Zee and the Oude Rijn River. Well we are always wondering the next step ORBX are going to take and this is so impressive. Thanks to everyone involved in bringing us this giant leap and for the new Central update for those of us who didn't have enough space on our C drives! So that is that, what next!

flyingleaf Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Great shots Martyn. But when it comes to computers and your knowledge description compared to mine makes you looks like at least Bill Gates or at a bare minimum a Neurosurgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Martyn: if I sent you a USB stick could you copy Netherlands on to it, and post it back to me. PM me with your address if you can. I am not on NBN so still ADSL slow, but I will meet all costs. I have already purchased Netherlands, but I have found that the download takes days, yes, days. Netherlands is something I can wait for.

I live 20 km south of Schiphol and you departed to the North. Only when rwy 36C or rwy 06 are used for approaches the airliners fly right over our house.

Stillwater Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 "Late" you say Martyn, you and "late"? I am still flying in SA and will not attempt to DL before virtually returning to Europe...

When he was 10 he thought he would be smart and ask for ketchup on his pie and he got it. He sat there for an hour not eating it so his punishment was no desert for a week. Mind you our tastes change as we get older, not only in food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Gerold, my intention was to wait until the initial rush was past but I just couldn't resist. The only problems were caused by not having enough space for the temp folder which was resolved by the Central update. I haven't been down for a look at the beach, I will have to wait until her indoors is outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
