Jack Sawyer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm pretty fortunate to have everything Orbx makes, so today I bought this gem, 2W3, Swanson. I went there, real weather courtesy of ASXP, and just "walk" around. It's the most relaxing and charming little spot in Washington, I loved it. Then made a flight to McChord which I'll post later.

Dario Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Really a charming and relaxing place, Jack! Lovely shots! I was thinking if it was really worth to buy this scenery, but your shots made me decide that I need to buy it not later than today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Thanks John! I looked at Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, and Ford, none had the options I wanted and none had yellow. So I settled on a beautiful blue Chevy Colorado.

TigerTigerM Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Great set Jack. Who/what did you use to walk around? Looks to be a great spot. I suspect a lot of the Orbx GA airfields have things I don't see when I hot start on runway & go. Need to do more walking. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Fantastic shots Jack, crisp and clear like the air must have felt....there are some lovely hangars that would be nice to move into...that doesn't mean I will be kicking anybody out with exclusion zones or anything (but nice to have that option haha).

Like say, facing North as I move . How do I turn around & look behind me.?? PS. Found dumpsters behind a building in LOWI! TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Great shots Jack and that airport is next on my list. Do have all the rest of the Orbx scenery for Xplane in fact haven’t played P3DV4 for awhile now. Can you not use the Shift 8 and then press C to walk around. Wish Orbx would bring out Bob for Xplane that would be great or the same that P3Dv4 has with The Avatars. Sorry bernd1151 just saw your post. Derek.

I too would like to see an avatar mode but what I do is simple create a view like you see and taxi the plane everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
