Howdy Gents,

Great multi last night - love VFR flying and going through the mountains! That was a treat!!!

I wanted to try out some of the freeware ORBX scenery after the multi and saw all of those beautiful screenshots so I downloaded the one for 2S1 (Vashon Island). I installed it but for some reason it still looks fairly FSX stock to me. I have Ultimate Terrain Canada / USA also installed and I went into the FSX scenery setup to see if ORBX was listed but didn't see it. I figured it would put it's own in, or, follow Addon Scenery (which I moved to the top of the list).

Still no joy...

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Did it come with the FTXCentral tool for activating the correct region (north america vs default world)?

Nope - not the freeware version. Only comes with the Vashon Island (2S1) control panel - this enables Airshow and selects custom trees. Otherwise...nothing.

I.ve always thought that the airports. free and pay. require the region to be installed. So for a demo. dload the PNW. region freebie.

There are complications to removing the free scenery before installing the bought stuff. I stongly suggest you go ahead and buy at least one of the packages - the price is too good to miss. I started with the BC Interior (Rocky Mountains North), but got two of the coastal zones as well when the price went to 40% off.

Doh...

Helps when you read the install guide that comes with it I guess eh? I got it working - and all I can say is DAMN!!!!!

Why do I see a very high credit card bill coming in my near future....

Better be the near future as of June 1st it's full price! at that price I wish they had more scenery......... I want more I say........ wonder if they will give a rain check?


Ya, try and land, it's a challenge. Down hill at one end.

Yup - I landed ok - it was a good challenge for sure!!!

All I can say is...$130 later....I've got a few airports / scenery from ORBX to download tonight Looks like I'll be doing a little more flying in the future!

Cheers!

LOL Thats what happened to me also, but with 40% off you have got some good scenery.
I wish I had wait a couple more days, but who knew scenery like that would go for 40 % off.

Some pics from last night, The videos didnt turn out that well.
