andiflyit Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Hi all, here you can see how it all started. How people start something and what becomes of it is sometimes amazing. It only takes a few years, or a few more. Sim is FS9 and scenery is Vista Australis, and the Wright Flyer. Thank you very much for viewing.

Stillwater Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The seat comfort in economy has not developed much since then in many airlines. The service is absolutely the same. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 That is an excellent view Andreas. The good old FS9 days, I enjoyed the ease of repainting the planes and I spent as much time making liveries as I did flying. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes John, this was understood a bit later... so far they applied a bit of soap underneath the wooden parts! 16 hours ago, Kodiak73 said: Wow, FS9? Hard to believe it still runs. Keep it up Andreas!! Yes Sir, I will. I first thought of uninstalling it but it works again now, I can fly. Did a flight yesterday from CYVR to KBLI using the Aeroworx B200 which is great but does not even work in FSX. Only issue with FS9 now is that I have to switch it to "windowed mode" for the menue to work. 15 hours ago, Stillwater said: The seat comfort in economy has not developed much since then in many airlines.

In FS9 I even changed the fde if it didn't work and I also did some rudimentary panels on my own. FS9 was well appreciated by simmers and with FSX a lot of problems started. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleT Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Ahhhh FS9 for all the reasons given above - the last sim made for the customer to really learn and manipulate. I have a mate (a LAME) who has refused to progress beyond it for precisely that reason. AND who at the time could forget the magic of VOZ and its associated community participation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andiflyit Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 I'll do some more shots of FS9 and Vista Australis if it's allowed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I don't see why not, it may not strictly be Orbx but without it, there would have been no Orbx at all. It looks like it is still available too: https://www.flightsim.com/download.php?fn=voz180complete.zip and FS9 performs extremely well on Windows 11 and today's hardware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
