Yup, we do mind...<Images removed by Mod for violating Screen Shot rules>Sorry David, Rules are Rules:"Images can only be inserted in a forum other than the Screen Shot forum, for explanatory, or illustrative purposes; i.e., explaining a configuration issue, a graphic card issue, etc. Images demonstrating the art of simulation must be placed in the Screen Shots forum."What you can do, is to post the proper sized images in the Screen Shot forum and provide links to them from here. Nice pictures, BTWKind regards,

I just got an idea that will be very helpful to those who want the best performance while flying in the ORBX world. Many complain about poor performance, especially with the latest airports.You might want to share Inspector settings and FSX settings since this is just as important as the computer you have.If this idea is accepted, let's share.

Im looking for two small-ish airstrips in Australia to start my FS Passengers career. Im going to start with the default Cessna, so they have to be within range.

Here is the fix for ID67 for those who dont have it Like MeJoshHi guys,Here is the files for the temporary fixhttp://www.mediafire...3tqorzgmueo6x04Unzip and replace the existing versions of the ID67 files in {FSX}ORBXFTX_NAFTX_NA_CRM05_SCENERYscenery.Holger

Peoples of the palace..hereby I would like to propose two sub forums. Yes I know you guys said that initially you not going to have any subforums. As ou already see this is becomming a busier and busier place by the day with a lot of influx from wherever.The two subforums is:- HARDWARE- RELEASESHardware:I am pretty sure that can honestly say that most people here have a very soft spot to get back a dedicated hardware section specifically to address ORBX scenery en to get the most out of ORBX scenery. Lets face it that a huge contingent of people were following he discussions about hardware enhancements / tweaks over down under. We surely can get this going again with peo…

This is quite a mystery to me. As far as I know I have the latest Darrington Download and updates as well as ORBX libraries and yet, this is the result. I even redownloaded and installed Darrington without change. Does anyone else have this situation or any idea what might be the problem? Were some kids smoking in the bathroom and burnt the building down or what?By the way, nothing else is missing anywhere else as far as I know.Kind regards,

Please use this sticky for all P3D installation questions and issues.Thanks!

Please folks, forgive my apparent lack of understanding of forum rules, legal aspects and how to interpret an end user license agreement. I have only been an English native speaker for some 55 years or so of my 58.The very first paragraph of the license sets down the ruls of who may use this software and how and the very last clause of the sentence is: "....... and only for purposes other than personal/consumer entertainment."In other words, they (Lokheed Martin) appear to be saying that users may not use this software at home for any form of recreational simulation of flight? We are being extended an invitation to buy a license for the simulation aspect, but we, the user…

Yesterday I was able to see 10 threads here, today there is only 7 I can see, the day before yesterday I was able to see only 5 of them, am I the only one with this problem? Refreshing the page does nothing...??

So recently I have moved away from the Orbx areas and into other areas less flown by me, I needed some variety.I just bought three of the FSDreamTeam Hawaiian packages, you get five airports in all. Perhaps you folks are familiar with them. Got a three package buy plus a coupon discount - a great deal.Had a bit of a bugger to get them installed but once I got beyond their system I was up and flying to airports I have been to in real life.These airports are exceptionally well done, lots of detail and most of all, unlike some of the Orbx products, I fly at maximum fsp no slideshow stuff that has happened at the recent Orbx airports.What I am trying to say is that I have f…

The people from Real New Zealand are adding FTX compatibility to their payware airports.First patch available : Nelson

Hi Everyone,Anyone else using My Traffic 3D for P3D?. I just installed it today and I'm experiencing a tremendous hit in FPS/Smoothness even if I select 0% traffic. I went to KJFK by FSDT without My Traffic and was getting 30FPS. I added My Traffic to P3D with 0% traffic and my FPS dropped to 16. I'm getting hit with a 50% loss in FPS with no added traffic, that is UNACCEPTABLE.Anyone experience this?.

Just picked this up last night and installed today. Really works well in P3d! I was a long time UT2 user and have it for FSX, but since its not allowed for P3d, I bought My Traffic and I m very immpressed. Lots af traffic, nice looking models and not much of a FPS hit. Just make sure you follow the install directions carefully. It really does matter at which layer My Traffic resides in the Scenery library. Originally, I left it at the top layer and my FPS when from 35 to 7 (lol). I re-read the install instructions and realized it has to be just above propeller objects. That solved the issue.Great job Burkhard!Rob

Thank you very much, Vlad Maly and Orbx. NRM region sure needs all the airfields we can get.And from the photo that Vlad has shown, it looks like a superb addon.Thanks again, Vlad :(http://fullterrain.com/freeware/ORBX_CEJ4_001.zip

I am getting two library files missing after installaing CEJ4 and when I try to fly from there.As You can see my latest library set is version 111014 (14th October 2011) Am I maybe missing a newer library set?

I've got a feeling this guy won't know what's hit 'imBernhardS writes:

Generally speaking I can get by pretty well in most of the Orbx scenery areas. Fall City was terrible on my system for some reason so it came straight off again and Harvey has been on and off a few times because I love the area but I really struggle with it performace wise but Concrete is a fairly early one so should be better than it is. If I fly from Darrington to Concrete everything is pretty good until I get to the area between Concrete and Israel's Farm and then the mountains to the left get very blurred and it's not until I get to the coast that it improves (I don't have Anacortes or Skagit yet).Does anyone else have problems in this area?I have most of the settings…

I might be a little long winded, but would appreciate some thoughts and suggestions. I went to college to fly planes and had a change of heart (geared up a plane - long story) and haven't flown for nearly 20 years. I have a client that recently purchased a TBM850 and asked me to go flying with him. that was an awesome experience and I got the bug to fly again. So I thought what a simple way to fly, try a sim program. Bought FSX and Saitek flight controls and thought what the heck. I have been having a BALL relearning approaches and all the fun things I missed with flying. I now have My Traffic 5.4, AS2012, FSCaptain, Saitek Rudder pedals, TrackIR 5 and recently bou…

Have asked it earlier but is there anyone who have running SB4 on the same pc and monitor as P3D?I made the entry in DLL, "start Squawbox" appears in the Add-on section but after hitting it, it's gone out of the list and nothing happens.I can run it in a seperate windows but as soon I click in the P3D screen it's out of sight in the background. Something to do with exclusive screen access or something or a missing overlay command?Anyone? Thx...

Today I downloaded the new GSX as a trail and surprise, surprise, the installer asked gently to install in the P3D installation and it works like a charmI'm a Aerosoft AES user but blown away with the new graphics in GSX and there is no fps hit noticable.Tonight I will made a short Youtube video to show the stunning graphics.Happy landings...

In case you did not see it as it is hidden behind the red screen of death.....here is my support post yesterday.I was just checking my Central Report to verify all my addons to ensure they are all patched up to date.I have PAKT patched SP1 build 1004, but it does not show that way in my Central. I repatched again and it still reads as below. Is this my problem or is it more widespread.
