A Classic is Reborn. The Orbx duo of Andreas Hegi and Heiko Glatthorn respectfully pay homage to one of the most memorable airfields ever to grace FS2004. This version faithfully recaptures the spirit and charm of the Orcas Island we all remember and love, but also dials up the details and definition to 11, providing the most spectacular version yet. Discover not only the airport as it appears today, but explore the entire island, with resorts, old watchtowers, animated birdlife and orcas, keen fishermen, boating and much more. This is truly a wondrous island to add to your Orbx collection!

- Ground imagery at 15/30cm per pixel
- Beautifully modeled airport and village
- FSX gmax poly runway, aprons and lights
- Spectacular setting in the San Juan Islands
- Includes a large coverage of photoreal area
- Accurate watermasks for the shores & rivers
- Actual onsite photos taken by Orbx staff
- TextureFlow optimised and excellent FPS
- Includes custom GA AI Traffic movements
- Includes many POIs across Orcas Island
- Expertly seasonally color matched
- Made by the YHBA/1S2/3W5 team!
 
WOW , That is something....very clear with loads of candy eye...I wonder what kind of frames ya get will all the special add ons...Mike
 
Stunning film work Cody... absolutely mesmorising.. I was hooked from the beginning... where do I sign up. :salute:
 
I'm flying around Orcas Island with autogen on "extremely dense" with 30+ FPS. All scenery settings are max except water which is "low 2x". DX10 preview, REX 2.0 SP3, fair weather, Carenado C182 RG.
My rig is kinda fast though... see sig.

Great video, Cody. Very creative.

Your video skills have reached the point of being pure 'artwork'!

The video is better than the product for me, as PNW on it's own brings my system to it's knees. Shame, as I love it.

Looking at you specs dougal depending on what motherboard you have I would change out the memory to 1066mhz and up that video card to at least a GTX260 or a new GTX460. That should make a world of difference. Of course it depends on your motherboard chipset for the 775 socket system. I had set up a friend's old DFI BloodIron P-35 motherboard and E6850 system to run PNW and it did just fine. I think I had 1200mhz memory on his.

Thanks Ted

Yeah, I realise my system is not up to todays standards. It's really scary for me that, as when I bought the parts, they were pretty much cutting edge and cost me a small fortune.

I'm simply not in a position to upgrade, so I guess I'll just have to put up with it:-(
 
It is fabulous scenery, I have been really enjoying it. :jump: I have made my home base the open hangar on the west side. Will call it my 'home' until I get my Andras Field home haha :) What is even better is that NRM should be released in a few days too.


Might want to post a sticky for its release. This is a blurb from my email notice.

'official release scheduled for 6:00am AEDT on the 30th of November 2010'
 
KORS is my default base and where I fly 90% of the time in FSX (when I fly GA)

it doesn't look anything like this beautiful ORBX version - but my rig can handle it easily.

I am sure I could not run this version on my present rig - but it sure looks great.

much much closer to what you see on Google MAPS when you look at KORS Orcas Island IRL
 
Easily one of Cody's best. I try to push him into trying new stuff, but he always manages to suprise me each time. Outstanding mate!
 
I guess I'll ask the dumb question of the day: It's not real clear on the store site or here whether Orbx PNW is required. I assume so, but since the whole island is done, maybe not? My only concern with PNW is the disk space - 4 gig for that plus another for KORS is a lot on my old workhorse.

It's pretty much standing policy at Orbx that the underlying terrain scenery - PNW in this case - is required to enjoy the add-on airports fully. Without it, you may have some compatibility issues, and you'll definitely lose a lot of the shared objects that reside in the terrain's libraries.
 
Bill, thanks for the clarification. That makes perfect sense after a couple things you said on the Emma vs Cushman video a few days ago. I have a second drive with well more than enough space I can put then on and leave the FS drive no worse than it is. As much as I enjoyed the original Orcas, that has pushed me over the edge - maybe this coming weekend when I can let the downloads go for a few hours.

:salute: :wavey:
