Another wonderful weather image Jack. Thanks Martyn, I was incredibly amazed by the lifelike rain on the windshield. It looks exactly like what I see when I drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Amazing weather test, Jack. And a good place to stay on the ground for some time - I have seen many nice pictures from the airport infrastructure... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, it's a nice place to fly to San Diego from. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky, they hit a button and like in a 007 movie huge fans came up from the ground and blew it all away. (I can dream can't I?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The rain effects in MSFS are one of the best things in that sim, in my opinion. Anytime I have completed an MSFS flight in poor weather with rain effects, I am stressed until I am on the ground. And then, I am like 'phew' I made it. I have never had such an effect in a sim like before. Now, that is a fine image of that exact type of scenario 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Hall Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hi Jack, great shot, but on closer inspection it looks like you have both versions, if you bought the Orbx version you will need to uninstall the asobo version in the content manager. cheers Ken 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the content manager now and when I type in KAVX I see KAVX Catalina Airport by Orbx and World Update X: USA and when I type in Catalina I see KAVX Catalina Airport by Orbx and World Update X: USA also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know they had bison there, that’s cool. We like to eat bison burgers here, it’s much better than regular beef in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 That's a factual feature Ken has included in the scenery. I was surprised to see them alongside the runway. Had to Google it to check it out. Bison burgers....my mouth is watering! Cheers Graeme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Jack, try typing in Catalina instead. Click on it and then on delete Of course, it doesn't help that the Orbx version has a missing "a". You can also find it in the USA update 10, if you click on the blue and white (i) at the right-hand side, all of its components are listed and KAVX is one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try this when I get home. As an aside, how can Ken tell? Was something I didn’t see duplicated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 In Ken's version, there is only one control tower , apart from many other differences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it Nick but I had to go inside the USA scenery and select it and then delete. Only Orbx Catalina showed up in search no matter how I spelled it. It's odd why mine is different from your's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Hall Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I think Nicks method is easier, glad you got it sorted, sometimes it is hard to see both versions together, I had inside knowledge and knew what to look for, a dead giveaway is Avalon Harbour, the msfs version has very little detail, and our version I feel has much more going on at the airport itself, Tim did an outstanding version of the airport building, and it stuck out like a sore thumb having the Asobo superimposed on top of it, also our palm trees are better, not to mention some very attractive ladies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
