jparnold Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I just noticed that ORBX has release its Sydney scenery update for MSFS but at a cost of $A19.99. Sure it (appears to) include lots of other buildings apart from the Harbour Bridge which MS could not even get close to resembling the real thing, its a pity MS couldn't get the bridge acceptable and do they intend to release an update including better Sydney scenery? I guess $A19.99 isn't too bad, and it looks very good, but I wished I didn't have that extra expense when most other countries most populous cities have been 'covered' ok.

g7rta Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi JP, Orbx are usually pretty good. I bought their version on my local airport (EGNM) & it’s superb. As for Sydney.. did you know rather is also some freeware scenery available? Go to http://www.flightsim.to & look under countries.. you’ll see quite a lot of Australian scenery include the Sydney Harbour Bridge... all free :) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

jparnold Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Just checked out the free (Sydney) scenery at flightsim.to Gob smacked is the term I was looking for. Thanks What gets me though is how quickly these 'addons' are being released. I used to be able to create good looking FSX scenery using satellite images, Google Sketchup, GIMP, Airport Design Editor and SBuilderX (the last 2 which made it fairly easy) but I wouldn't know where to start for MSFS scenery.

g7rta Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I know. The sim has only been out two months and there’s already loads of free addons. It’s looking good :) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

jparnold Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thank goodness there are some people who seem to get a lot of enjoyment creating free addons at the 'expense' of using the sim to 'fly'.
