Just Fly Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 When you struggle with FSX, tweaking it for hours, trying a achieve a little better performance, trying to get another notch of FPS, it's sometimes wise to switch to default FSX. It makes you realize that, after all, what you're seeing on your screen is not bad at all. This is how CZST Stewart looked like a few years ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradB Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You are so correct , but we are all spoiled by what Orbx has been doing . I started with FS95 and we have come along ways since then . John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That is so true. Just for the kicks I installed FSX out of the box, with no sceneries, no tweaks, with all sliders maxed out and MTX just to add some life. My FPS went to the roof. But then again, once you have an OrbX scenery is like having a Ferrari. You can never go back to a Lada again. Cheers, Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgreenwo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 This is the great thing about global the grass desserts will soon be a thing of the past. It is bizarre when you reinstall and realise you can get a few hundred fps where you got 10 6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Fly Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Mind you, this is how it looks today: And it could have been even better if someone didn't forget to switch the ground textures to "Hard winter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjMatty2k9 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't think we can thank Orbx: John and his Team, enough for what they have done for the Flight Simulator community. Looking back at the old, default and lifeless scenery and then comparing it with Orbx's masterpieces....... There's no comparison. No longer is everywhere a "grass dessert", an extremely boring place to fly or something that made flying feel like a chore to some.... It's now a stunning, beautiful place for flying enthusiasts and even pilots themselves to go and enjoy flying in what seems as though is The most realistic thing to the real world itself. Flight Sim as we know it has been revolutionized by Orbx. In my opinion, if it wasn't for John and his team FSX would have died years ago, we would have all moved on to another platform.... X Plane maybe? So for that, John, thank you very much for your hard, endless and extremely high quality work. We have all been spoiled by you and your team. Only two words can describe it: Endless Gratitude. Thank You, Matt Lloyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric C Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Great point my friend, and trust me, as someone who remembers playing Top Gun on the original Nintendo as a kid, we're very blessed to enjoy the sim the way we do with all of these amazing add ons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 And the question has to be asked... I wonder what FSX, or it's successor will look like in 5 years time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjMatty2k9 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 And the question has to be asked... I wonder what FSX, or it's successor will look like in 5 years time... Hopefully that will be something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
