andy1252 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thought I'd try and do this before Jack got here and got the authorities all alert! Heading out from the rather fine new KVUO in the Stinson - Hmm, a bridge . . . Heading down river a bit before turning back in "don't sink! don't sink!" Wasn't sure this was going to be possible, and I will admit to a teensy bit of slew on this first bridge And I still got the tyres wet coming out the other side! But the next one was a bit easier - actually flew under this one! Loads of room! Love the weathering on the bridge supports and away! Another fine addition to the ORBX world!

Jack Sawyer Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Oh yeah! Awesome flying Andy, I bought it but with no PC yet it'll be a week or so before I can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problems? New one being built, will be here next week. They installed all my Orbx stuff which is all they sell so I had un remove all my Orbx stuff from the present PC. Then I reformatted everything for sale but so far no buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on the framerate, I never monitor it but have a target rate of 30. Didn't notice any particular lag or jumpiness - I get used to a bit of lag occasionally anyway as I run all maxed out on a 4k monitor and that pushes the system a bit unless it's really basic scenery. Did get a stutter or two over Portland itself as usual. 2 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: New one being built, will be here next week. Ah! Monster new beast? I saw a link in an emailshot recently that I had to check out - twin Xeon CPs, twin GTX 1080 Tis, all sorts of stuff. Never seen anything so over-the-top in my life (ignoring anything Liberace related, that is), and all for the measly sum of 16k GBP! I'll have two!

Cheers Landon - I hadn't realised it was so close to Portland, so it comes with a ready made good surround area to begin with. 1 hour ago, Iain Emms said: Great set of shots these Cheers Iain.

Jack Sawyer Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hi Andy, it’s not that powerful, just one CP and one video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Awesome shots Andy! Checking out Bill's fantastic bridge work up close, and inspecting the pylons piers. I like that plane too. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Scott, and I suspect I won't be the last one to be giving those bridge supports a thorough examination. There's a lot of us municipal inspectors on this forum. And yep, the Stinson is great fun, sort of like a Cub with attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
