John Lovell Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well, this year has been one to remember and such a great one!.. If it wasn’t for Orbx, I don’t know where I’d be without my hobby. It was both them and REX that got me back into FSX. Product after product, you never fail to deliver and push what seems quite impossible, to the limit with such great effect. How you guys do it, I don’t know.... But I do know that 2011 is set to be a great year with whatever new surprises you all come up with! And not forgetting all the amazing folk I have met here in the Forum, all so helpful with no egos or bragging. Just a mutual respect and interest in our hobby.... I thank you all to the bottom of my heart for all your friendship and support over 2010 and wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year! I would like to share a few screen shots I posted over the year Best regards John My very first screenie on April 17th...This is at Concrete (before the makeover!)...

Andrew Schofield Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Fantastic set of screenies mate - thanks for posting! With all due respect to Emmsie, Bugdani and other great posters on this forum, I'm not sure I've seen a better collection - and that's saying something! In particular, great composition. Thanks again for posting, and I wish you a great 2011 - what with Orbx, MS Flight's continued development (ramping up the anticipation), and even hardware development like the new Sandy Bridge processors and affordable SSDs, it looks like we're in for a great year of simming! Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
