John Venema Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Orbx is pleased to debut our first ever demo video showing a pre-Beta Tamworth flyover in a Dornier Do-27. The zip file weighs in at 80MB and you will also need to download a custom MPEG codec for playback. This video is in HD 720p (1280x720) format and presented in 16:9 aspect ratio. For best results, view it on a wide-screen monitor, however it still displays quite fine on a normal 4:3 screen. Full notes are included in the readme.txt file, including the download location for the codec, notes on performance and the PC used to record the video. We plan to release more videos over the next few months as the project nears completion. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennyson Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 John, I had a hard time believing that this was flight sim. The level of realism is stunning to say the least. It is people like yourself who inspire the plastic chaired pilots like me and all of my mad mates to buy the hardware to achieve that level of reality. For those of us obsessed by the passion of flight sim, I applaud you. Please keep up the good work!, Kind Regards, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you've got a lot to answer for JV! It's all your fault. It was this video that got me hooked into simming. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hello everyone, I actually found an old archived copy of the video on my PC so I've uploaded it to YouTube for old time's sake. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm impress because it doesn't look 12 YO, this was FS9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnG Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 FSX was released a few weeks before this post. I bought it first day of sale, but on my pc at the time, it was an unflyable slideshow (pentium 4 single core I think) Amazingly, we can still make it an unflyable slideshow today if we want to even with much better hardware! I remember loving what FSX brought to the table, but mainly running fs9 for at least 3 years after. ORBX is probably the thing that made me finally turn to FSX full time. Glad JV was able to run it well enough back then to start development! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
