John Venema Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 World debut! Well it's taken nearly two years for a team of 30+ people to cover the entire continent of Australia, and it was only until AU RED was finished that we could finish off this project, which Andreas Paschen and I have been working on for over four months or so. This is in my humble opinion, Andreas' finest hour, and a masterpiece of FS video production. Using my very hard-nosed design guidelines and constant critique, he made was I thought was impossible - possible. Using a 'portal' concept, the video will take you on a magical discovery tour of all four regions of Australia. It really does bring home just how much of a transformation FTX makes to the default terrain. If you have any friends who have doubted what FTX can do, this is one video to show them! So sit back, grab a cuppa and enjoy!

wantok Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Fantastic! Brilliant concept, brilliant execution. I'm sure this will help PNW along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 John, what an AWESOME video!!!! If that doesn't want you to buy FTX areas, that I don't know what would. If I wasn't already flying from YSCH to YMLT as I watched the video, I would not be typing this, but hastily loading up a flight in FSX to go flying in FTX land! Simply amazing work....ALL THE TIME!

hazard Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 After the gloom of the ACES shutdown I think this shows how bright the future for FSX is thanks to companies like Orbx. Mindblowing stuff guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesto Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wow, that was cool! Nice work guys! I especially liked the transitions from standard FSX to FTX scenery.

Ken_NZ Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I gotta be honest, I spent most of the time watching that video with my mouth open. The combination of music and video was excellent. Fantastic work! You may need to give a list of places you were flying over. I was watching that seaplane land and wondering where the heck it was. Looked really nice.

LowRad Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Just too good for current superlatives to express. I propose that a new term be coined....."holy wow!" Great effort. Great advert.

mrjamierocks Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Brilliant Words, sentences and paragraphs tell how great ftx is but this trailer has just blown away everything ever written.All the people involved should be proud of what they are part of....history of flight simulations. I'll just sit back, smile and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Routley Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 That is possibly the most impressive online video I have ever seen - and easily the most impressive FSX video I have ever seen. Nothing short of awe-inspiring. And it gets the point across so well too. Amazing work Andreas (and JV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captzoo Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 ........ ........ I'm lost for words! I always thought the FTX videos were up there with the best of FS videos I seen online, but this is simply fantastic. If there was ever a category for best CG Short Film at the Oscars this would win hands down. Take a bow, well done, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
