Matt McGee Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Here is one more batch of real life vs Orbx comparisons. I have the Israel's Farm and W16 airports scenery which are noticeably more detailed. Lake Cushman, Mt Baker, and Saul Lake are stock PNW, yet still look pretty darn good. You've got to love Orbx scenery Israel's Farm real (on right): Israel's Farm Orbx: W16 & Fairgrounds/race track real: W16 & Fairgrounds/race track Orbx: Lake Cushman real: Lake Cushman Orbx PNW: Mt Baker ski area real: Mt Baker ski area Orbx: Sauk Lake (east of Concrete) real: Saul Lake Orbx: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Routley Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Great set of shots once again. The Landclass/Vector scenery based shots look almost as good as the photo-areas, particularly that last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airwolf Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Breathtaking. What Navy plane are you flying in real life? I do see the same colors in the sim. Super cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McGee Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Breathtaking. What Navy plane are you flying in real life? I do see the same colors in the sim. Super cool The plane in the photos is a T-34B. The FSX plane is the Carenado T-34B. John Barner (BarnYard Repaints) did the repaint. It was posted to flightsim.com, file name is n84639.zip. The real plane is owned by the USN and was operated by the Whidbey Island Navy Flying Club. Unfortunately the club has now been closed and the plane went to NAS PAX River. My wife now wants to buy a T-34 of our own. I wish I was rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Zipfel Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hello h3pilotyour pictures are breathtaking, but the landscape is very interresant,I've also spent countless hours in FSX there. A dream for every bush pilots, however, are not to compare flights here in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Great work. Thanks for these shots. Having never been to the region / area, I cannot compare - except if using Google Earth (which I often use for bush flight planning) - and Orbx looks just like the real thing (within reason of course). I agree. Really impressive. How long do you think I need to wait for FTX: South Africa ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
