Downloading now...4.2 G..its huge...says 4hrs for me to download...
 
Very Nice, I think I can Scrap up enough coin for this - Most Definately !! :icon29::guinness::icon29:
 
Downloaded and installed. I know they've had a few glitches with the download, but darn, they've been working on this for over a year and it seems like a little patience is needed on our end to get the downloads squared away. I'm sure they'll fix it if they haven't aready. In my case, I got about a gig and it quit, but the second attempt was fine and it dl'd last night on my slow connection and was done this morning. Install was easy.

I can't touch the screenshots that have been posted here and on their boards, so I won't try. But, that feeling of immersion in flying it so far is just fantastic. I'm lucky enough to live and to have flown in this area for years and it just looks right. :applause:

I'm also extremely impressed with what they've done to so many of the airports. So many details are added like hangars and aprons and static planes. Pretty accurate too, with all the semi trucks parked on the north end of our little (and sadly now closed) airport here where I live in Blaine.

Clearly the best scenery addon I have and I so look forward to the release next week of Darrington which is close to me and to Bill Womack's Stark's Twin Oaks.

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
Wish I had time to fly it but ony had time to read the manual so far and the install is sitting on my desktop. This looks like 10's of thousands of square miles of Plumb Island/TongasX like quality scenery with a little more detail due to the higher density populations.

I cannot wait!

Ironically I pre-ordered to get it a day early and I cannot even use it today. :icon_lol:

Can someone get some screen shots of Portland Oregon, Hillsboro Airport and KPDX, Maybe some bridges?

How does this fair against MegaSceneryEarth?

How are the Frame Rates?

Does this use any google earth type data where you can see your house?

Portland doesn't use photoscenery, although Seattle downtown does. The other phototerrain in the FTX package is mainly relegated to mountain peaks and glaciers. Of course, Twin Oaks and Darrington will include patches of aerial photography as well once they're released.
 
Trying to download for the fourth time, the last stopped at 2.7 GB after hours at very low speed and "OrbxFTXNABlue.zip could not to be saved, because the source file coud not be read. Try again later or contact the administrator".
 
Honestly I expected this thread to be blowing up with screenshots and impressions and so far nothing. Very confused

Great video Cody! I can't wait until it's released tomorrow for download purposes. I hope McChord was updated, along with SEATAC too.
