DAVIDSTRAKA Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Daring hop! Checked that the orbx at Ushuaia, yielding that same airport in water like I have with it :) I did notice that "water airport" is a bit elevated by the water also. Just a bit of an elevation problem when Orbx redesigned things a bit. :rolleyes: Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I love the cloud formations is the first series!! And yes from time to time I've found elevation issues in a lot of scenery. I recently landed at an airport where all the AI aircraft had landing struts but no sign of any wheels. You've got a great series going on!! ;) Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMLW Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 They made you park in the grass in the Falklands? That's the problem with the smaller airports, no Infrastructure. A good Leg 7, I like the shots from the passenger cabin. :cool: :cool: :) Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I just parked it in front of the tower. Yes! Finally figured how to get the window blinds up. The default is down. I always have problems figuring out Shift E + whatever... :cool: Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low visibility, storms, rain, snow, you name it! :eek::eek: What is the freeware scenery you use? Like another ORBX user I was totally disappointed with the way it was depicted by them! For an area which has been so much in the news the last 40-50 years I'd think the Falklands deserved more coverage than two airports with empty runways, no hangers, etc. And yes, Ill make my thoughts known to ORBX. If we don't give our vendors feedback, they don't know when we're unhappy!;) Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
