Orbx KORS Orcas Island Official Trailer

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:

One word of caution, Glenn - Orbx scenery has a specific folder structure that needs to be kept intact, so it has to reside within the FSX folder in order to work properly. With some sceneries, you can just stick 'em on another drive and point to them in the scenery library. Not so with the FTX series. Just in case that's what you were planning.
 
Congratulations, Cody, on another concept video.*

* When someone says, "I'm working on a concept album," it usually means "Interesting intellectually but not aesthetically." In other words, boring if not tedious. That's not what I mean here. This video is fun to watch AND it has an idea (in the same way that your PNW video had an idea -- flying backwards -- but more subtle).
 
Sensational video Cody. I should have stayed away from it. . . .but it was sensational. I'm trying to save my money and you guys don't make it very easy, lol.:salute:

Ugh. My C drive, where FSX is, is a 320 gig drive, it has only about 65 gig available. The fun stat is that the FSX structure is using about 77 gig. Too many airplanes. :eek: Taking 5+ out of that isn't terrible, I suppose. A new machine keeps calling me.

One other question: If I bought PNW now, would SP3 be included?

Thanks for listening to me whine (Yes, I will take some cheese with that)

Since Orcas was my first ever scenery package, for FS9, I can now say: "Honey, I'm Home!".

I'm down to 56 gig on the FS drive, but I know where I can get 11 back really quick. These packages are well worth the disk space. I knew that, but was just reluctant.

With PNW and Orcas loaded, life is good. Twin Oaks is in the near future, and maybe the other three(?) strips in the Orcas neighborhood.
