renault Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Excellent shots Paul. FSX is were so many of us really got started both with flightsims and with Orbx. It certainly is where I first marveled at how the PNW series just transformed my world. It really strikes me how much we forgot how we have evolved in our hobby and your rendition shows both FSX as a fine example of where we were then and the foundation for what we are experiencing today. And the best part is that the "Orbx thread" is still alive and well in 2021 and bringing us enjoyment in MS2020 Well done Sir! All the best Pete 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Paul...doing some reading about it now on Wikipedia....looks like it was a decent Cold War strategic bomber turned re-fueler later on in life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been away from simming for a while. I have FSX, XP11 and P3Dv4 on my current pc. I just fancied flying some older aircraft - hence FSX today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleT Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 FSX is where I stopped - great to see these excellent shots. With the further development of PCs and Graphics Cards over the years my FSX on my modest system runs at 60FPS like greased lightning except in Orbx cityscapes with lots of local addons where it can get down to 15FPS but still smooth and flyable - and of course the huge range of FSX aircraft, free and payware scenery (except for Asia OLC haha) and SIM features that didn't make it through to, or don't work properly in, constant fiddle P3D. I have mates that still use FS9 because of the features that didn't make it to, or work properly in, FSX! Not to mention their love and admiration for VOZ. So it is possible to have a great SIM experience in the older sims without being at the sharp and expensive edge of technology or keeping up with the Jones's 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like to revisit FSX just to fly something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
