YSTW Tamworth

Wow - that has to be the nearest to dear old FS9 Flightzone Portland products standards.

Only wish my PC could cope with it!
 
It contains a config tool with which you can disable some eye candy.
I haven't enabled everything and the performance is good (E8400 @3.6Ghz, 4GB Ram, GTX260).

Interesting config tool. here I was thinking the 7 cm/pixel was the cause of the FPS hit, guess it's the details. If you add up the FPS on the config tool you can lose, that is more than most get in normal situations, LOL.

I was REALLY looking forward to this one, but now not to sure. Luckily I am recharging my paypal account so I have time to hear other users experiences before taking the plunge, LOL.
 
The detail is absolutely amazing!

I just can never run it with descent fps.

Just for interest sake. Who has a setup that can run it as smooth as the demo video? What system do you have?

I really want to get this one.

:sigh:

I've paid for it, but at over 1gb for the file and a download speed of 23 kb/s, I've decided to stop the download until tomorrow morning.
 
Here is the official press release guys :)

PRESS RELEASE
FTX: AU YSTW Tamworth Airport Released!
The world's FIRST 7cm/pixel airport!
Prepared to be stunned at the detail of the airport aprons, taxiways and surrounds with the first ever FSX airport to be released using incredible 7cm/pixel digital sourced aerial imagery, taken using the very latest direct to disk mounted cameras on aircraft. Never before has an airport environment seemed so real and immersive, with the smallest of details on the ground being clearly visible. Tamworth airport is a busy regional hub and also the home of the Basic Flight Training Skills (BFTS) school, which is the first stop for any "top gun" candidate wanting to fly with the Australian Defence Forces. It's also within easy reach of Orbx's YSCH Coffs Harbour Airport. The scenery includes both 7cm and 15cm ground imagery close to the airport, completely integrated into the Orbx FTX AU GOLD region. As well as BFTS and the airport, this scenery features over 200km of pristine 60cm/pixel photoreal imagery of the Tamworth township, farms, hills and surrounds and uses a custom 5 metre resolution terrain mesh. You'll be impressed by the tour-de-force which is YSTW! The product page can be found here http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=1046 and for more information visit http://fullterrain.com

To be honest, I could care less about buying Australian scenery, but I purchase their payware anyway just to support their freeware releases. Their airport scenery is second to none, and it suits me prefectly for aerobatics or small aircraft flying where I don't leave the terminal area.

Hi Ben,
if you don't maximize the settings of YSTW and FSX and if you have a similar PC like i have, you should be able to run it smoothly in most situations. What are your computer specs?

I haven't set my scenery complexity slider to Extremely Dense, so my images are missing some details. Knowing the shortcomings of FSX, the design decision, to have this scenery complexity setting at the maximum, is the only thing i don't like.
 
Wow, check out the screenshot thread called "Tamworth......" at the Orbx community screenshot forum. Just amazing! (can't link to it)
 
You might want to pick your download time carefully. I waited till you yanks and aussies were safely tucked up in slumber land and managed to download it in around an hour, possibly less as I took the dog out to kill a few mins.
 
Hi Nick, I started at 5:00am this morning...lol. You would think as big as that site is and they are also into retail sales they would have better bandwidth for there customers.Chet we just a small outfit here and our DL speed is twice as fast as they are. There is no way they are selling so much stuff it brings them to a crawl like this...Mike
 
They always have server problems with new bigger released. FSS-staff also has a rather big mouth when it comes to assuring that 'it will never happen again' and 'we've got lot's of bandwith'. But guess what, it slows to a crawl with every new release. :173go1: Better wait a couple of days till the tide falls again.
