TigerTigerM Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I recently came across my old FSX discs, [all 2 of them!], & loaded them back onto a PC. The shots below are FSX, Orbx Libraries & Vernonia Municipal, nothing else. Hence they are rough around the edges, being devoid of the Orbx layers that enhance FSX. TTM (FSX) Vernonia has always had a rustic charm & some great flowers I was surprised that the mechanic working on the Cessna moved. Also, note the tarpaulin behind the Cessna's tail. The words 'Bud Seager' appear, upside down. I wonder if that was an 'in' joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Lot of great times and a few headaches with FSX, but still fun. Looks good T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Thank you Gentlemen. FSX is bare bones at the moment & will probably stay that way as practically everything I have in FSX I have in P3D. What was pleasing is that Orbx Central picked up the reloaded FSX straight away & I used it to update the Orbx Libraries & install Vernonia. With its utility, Central is essential & IMHO, the cornerstone of the Orbx system. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 They look really good! Although FSX wasn’t perfect, the amount of tweaking I was always attempting taught me a fair bit about the machinations of how a sim runs. Cheers Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Great images from where it all really took off for me. Years ago I had seen this Australian scenery mentioned but as I was still running FS9 it was a no go. A few weeks later the wife and I were at the RAA flyin at Narromine and she came back from a tent with a book on home builds and also a copy of FSX deluxe. The rest is history and I still have FSX with AU1 and OZx on a HDD. There are also some of those FSX only planes by A2A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 If I recall correctly that was one of Sasha's - his freeware was better than a lot of the 'payware' on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Great shots, showing how good that "old" setup was. Yes, it is still a pleasure to use & discover for us with p3d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 FSX still looks good, great shots of it. I just recently removed it from my computer. But I still have the discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
