bernd1151 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I think those two are a perfect fit: Cityscape Sydney by Orbx and the good old Goose Redux by the former Oz team, which I was able to port over to MSFS. The only drawback: as the gauges were not modeled in 3D, they don’t show up and I’m not smart enough to redo them. But otherwise the Goose flies quite well. “Parked” here at The Rocks parallel to Circular Quay West and George Street The location offers a great view of both, Harbour Bridge and Opera House Ok, let’s go flying Oh well, you know the drill: if it’s yellow and if there is a bridge… There is one more thing, I really like to check out. Past Robertons Point, I head into Mosman Bay And there it is, my favourite watering hole in Sydney: Mosman Rowers. You need to be a member to be allowed to enter it. Luckily, the Aussies have been quite creative in this respect. You enter the place, fill out a short application and membership is granted with you signing this card. Then you pass through the place and enter the open deck; you order a dozen oysters together with a decent bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. You just sit there with your friends, let the sun slowly set and enjoy the fantastic surroundings. Just make sure, you fetch the last ferry that brings you back to Circular Quay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never thought the old Goose would look that good in MSFS. Thanks a lot, Frank, especially for this wonderful scenery!! I have ported by now quite a few free- and payware planes over to MSFS. Quite a few of them look actually better in MSFS than in FSX/P3D, especially their VCs 15 hours ago, BradB said: Amazing shots Bernd , I can just picture you and Gerold ( Stillwater) out on the deck swapping stories of your travel’s of OZ .

Orbx Flyer Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 As others stated before me...hard to believe this is a simulator. I do have an important question...the in-sim Icon 5's water rudder does no longer properly interact (or the water..no longer properly interacts) for the purpose of controlling the direction of the aircraft on the water. You can deflect the water rudder full Port or Starboard, and will turn about 15 degrees, but then, you stop increasing the turn...and the body of the Icon then plows forward...EVEN if you were trying that at full throttle as a test. So...my important question...with your add on...can you steer upon the water...to even a full circle? That would tell me quite a lot...that the water physics (when they dumbed down the water effects) were borked in the patch...or it was the Icon 5 that somehow no longer reacts to floating on the surface. Please reply...and thanks! Again...stellar shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes, I could, and I can, full circle in both directions. I just tested also the Icon, same result, full circle in both directions. So maybe there is something wrong with your Icon installation.

Stillwater Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Fantastic shots, and a fantastic plane (with the correct livery) taken for this tour. @bernd1151, did you just copy the OZx Goose into the respective MSFS folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to fly it Oh yes, Jean Marc, there are quite a few. To start with, the FSX Acceleration P 51 Mustang works very well, with all gauges working. Also the a2a P 47, the freeware Milviz Stuka, Milviz P 38, Just Flight Mk 1 Spitfire or the Aerosoft Catalina, all work fine with most of the gauges functional. If you are into older planes, also the Aeroplane Heaven Bristol Bulldog works fine. 22 hours ago, Stillwater said: Fantastic shots, and a fantastic plane (with the correct livery) taken for this tour. @bernd1151, did you just copy the OZx Goose into the respective MSFS folder? Many thanks, Gerold. The conversion is unfortunately not that simple. You need a plane converter, that does it for you. There is a good freeware one available: https://www.nexusmods.com/microsoftflightsimulator/mods/117 In it is also a link to a YT video, that shows you how to do it. I had to watch it a couple of times, before I fully understood, what I have to do. And not all planes will convert, so it's a bit of a trial and error activity. But when you fly at the end some of your favourite vintage FSX/P3D planes in MSFS, you know that the effort was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
