I purchased all the BC Scenery from Orbx and I have been VERY impressed.
Every little road, sometimes road side pull out are included, I was following the flights on "Google Earth" and this scenery is bang on. lots of little float bases and fishing lodges along the coast.
It's VERY detailed but not too bad a hit on the frame rate, These pics were all taken running at max on all the sliders except the Boats, and I was still getting at the lowest 11 fps It was still flyable.
I highly recommend it.
Blue PNW, Blue Pacific Fjords, and Northern Rockies. and then Tongass Fjords. I also had to go and get the whole Australian package and the same thing, it is gorgeous


If your into VFR flying and love flying up the valleys.............

Guys - at what altitude does the scenery revert back to fsx or utx or whatever? 10,000'? If I flew over it at FL350, would I see a difference?

Well I was at 12000 and you could tell is was still good quality, The mountains that were close still had the great texture, but the trees in the valleys kinda disappeared
I don't think it does revert until your out of the physical area. It is so accurate that when I flew up my street in Winfield, I really thought I was going to see my house,
I didn't but is is so real. when you can fly just by recognizing the surrounding area, it's good, and every little airport has something there. I think at FL350 you would
still see a difference in the terrain rivers and roads unless you have visibility set in something like Active Sky Evolution. The small details would be too small to see anyway at that altitude.
I'll fire up the old MD11 and try it with and with out the scenery enabled and get some pics.

Methinks I might have to go on a downloading spree...

Some are over 4 Gb
I was definitely on a spree, thank god the wife put a stop to it.......
Still waitin' for the Track IR 5, I can't believe it takes 4 to 5 business days from Sask to BC
I could walk faster than that.

Excellent scenery FTX Orbyx has. Welcome to the club. Now im just waiting for them to due Vancouver Int like there YMML.

Meh. I've got space to spare. Gotta fill up this 1TB hard drive somehow...although, without a wife to put a stop to it, this might get dangerous real quick.

Just got my TrackIR in the mail today...holy jebus. It certainly takes some getting used to (and obviously, tweaking for a perfect set up), but it's a neat piece of kit. And turning it on and off is as simple as starting up, or shutting down the TrackIR software, which runs in the background as you're playing. No fiddling around with Flight Sim's settings. I'm going to have to take a few more hours tweaking it, but it's a lot nicer than messing around with my flight sticks HAT switches and viewpoint commands. I think you'll enjoy it.

Yup - the real reason men get married. Because they don't trust themselves to save money for their retirement. We'd all end up like lone wolves, shuffling around wondering why we don't have anything to eat and why no body hangs out with us anymore...

I got hooked some time ago. It started my bush flying. You can also drive a car through much of this scenery, or sail a boat.

This is me in the Lexus on Orcas Island. Most of the people are moving around, not just standing there.

Okay, I've bought it. But it doesn't work. I seem to be missing some files from the zip download. When I tried to run the install, I got this error message....



I found that the Orbx folder was indeed missing a folder called BACKUP under the SCRIPTS folder. Can someone check to see if that is the case for them too?

I have it. My FSX is installed in "C:\FSX" though. You might have to change your UAC settings. if it's in "C:\Programfiles(x86)"

Set the installer to run 'as administrator" might work

You also need the .NET 3.5
Which one did you get?

Looks great Cal!
Those scenery packs can be viral can't they? It started with the twin otter for me, I rationalized the need for better scenery to go along with the airplane and then it just snowballed from there. For about three weeks the big saying around my house was "Get my credit card! Get my credit card!"

Barry, which Orbx program can you use to drive vehicles? I've only got PNW but there doesn't seem to be any way to "drive" in it.

Again, the scenery looks great guys and I'm waiting to hear the stories you have to share

Gary

I have it Rob "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ORBX\Scripts\Backup" may just have been a glitch in the install.

Gary

I got NRM. I want to do that valley trip from Kamloops to PG.

I certainly did use admin rights to start the intall. I also thought maybe my download wasn't complete, even though it unzipped okay, so I got a download manager and did it again. Same thing.

I am registering on the support forum you provided links to and hope to find the answer.

Maybe it's another add on, like Traffic's Follow Me car.
