7WA3 West Wind released yesterday on their forums.

Awesome shots! All of them

first...another as real as it gets photo.....

Thanks guys...this is why I love Orbx, the little details.

Now THAT is detail!

What plane is that wand where'd you get it?  CAP!

The plane is Aerosoft's OV-10 Bronco with a repaint I found on OZx.  It's a fantastic bird, but it's not freeware like the scenery.

Awww....   Thanks anyway though!

He he.......just missed those lines 8-)



I've never used ORBX stuff before so I thought I'd give it a go on my low end PC. I say "Low end", perhaps it's better to describe it as old...... Single athlon 3000+ cpu with a nvidia 7300gt 256 graphics card, 3 gig ram.

I didn't hold out much hope

Pleasantly surprised though, I installed the freebie and had a go.........18-20 fps quite smooth and worthwhile. I did notice that the extra eye candy wasn't present, no tufts of grass, people cars etc.

It transpires that the FTXA_ORBXLIB (Library) file is needed also, a separate download . This is downloadable from ORBX patch webpage. (probably common knowledge to everyone except me )

With that installed this scenery looks the mutts nuts . Getting between 15 and 20 FPS and quite smooth, so even on an old machine it runs reasonably well.......So thanks for the heads up mfaulisi.

Very nice...well done...

Awesome shots, Mfaulisi 8-)

Thanks for the heads up.......I lived in nearby Bellingham and worked out of Ferndale before I moved to Omak, so I'm very familiar with the area that this airport is in. OrbX did a pretty good job
