Mac_Maddog88 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's strange flying around here with all the palm trees and having a whole continent to explore. I'm used to the extreme cold of PNW and surrounding regions, but it's a joy to be flying here again. Last time I flew here was on my laptop on 2.4 GHz and a GT 650. Now, being where I can just crank the detail up down here it's just extraordinary. I'm going to buy Broome right now, and maybe Alice Springs or Brisy or one of the other freaking awesome tropical airports later! Maybe I could get ConcordeX next and do a flight from Vancouver to AU... That would be fun, right? Anyway, great work on AU ORBX. For your first work, revisiting it like I am now is a great experience! I may use AU for GA operation, I enjoy the tube liners a lot more, but who knows? I only fly to ORBX payware airports now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Get Melbourne and Cairns. They are two of my favorite Australian airports! Go have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_Maddog88 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I wish I'd just gone AU in the first place. NA is nice and all, but I'm a more tropical kinda guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdguy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I still have a dozen AU airports to buy. I have complete EU set. By the time the snow stops flying in NA I should have them and complete the Orbx collection.. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 AU was actually my first ORBX region, and I only bought it because I saw a preview video of Brisbane and my jaw broke hitting the floor. Ninety eight purchases later, the jaw still breaks hitting the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac_Maddog88 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Broome is by far the best airport I have ever seen for FSX. The atmosphere of it just shocks me, it's so beautiful! What AUS airport should I get next? There's so many! I want one I could get my DC-9 or 737 into! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Cairns! Frame-rate friendly and in a nice and warm part of Oz (not that there really are and cold and dark places there) Cheers Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lthendrix Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Agree with cairns....... its really got that tropical feeling your talking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_Maddog88 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 How is Brisbane? I've heard people complain about FPS, but I'm sure my computer could handle it with modest settings? It seems to have the most tropical feel to it besides Cairns, which I'm also looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Howarth Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I only fly Aus with Orbx, dunno, maybe Im just tooooo patriotic but I love my southern cross land! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olli4740 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Cairns would be my no. 1 recommendation; Broome my #2; Canberra could be my 3rd one. Melbourne and Brisbane tend to be harder on frame rates; if you configure your sim appropriately, Brisbane can be very enjoyable, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lthendrix Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 brizzy is the toughest on fps but I think we know where this is going.......sooner or later you will own all the oz airports like I do!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_Maddog88 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just got $40 shoveling driveways. It's pretty damn cold here in America, or at least where I live! I'd pay to live out in Southern California right now.... or Australia! I'll definitely get Cairns. How is Alice Springs? For Australia I'm mainly interested in jet flying... Anybody able to get a the Avro RJ out of AeroPelican? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
