Tempted... do we really need ORBX now is my Q?
IMHO I'd say yes, just for the range of country specific and airfield specific additions.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This is the lighting setup in P3Dv5 and in Skyforce just standard
All v5 pics look superb instead of the ocean water - waves are too big and blurry to my opinion. How is this inside the sim? Maybe on shots it appears a little different...
No this is ORBX scenery Cairns and also Australia v2
With regard to the blurred water when viewed at a distance, I can see that they did that on purpose so as to cause the terrain and cloud reflections to become disturbed/blurred the farther away you are from them (as they would be in reality). I love the effect when live/active in the sim, but not as much when focused in on in static screenshots. Without the blurring effect of the water at a distance, the reflections would remain constant/unchanged no matter how far away from them you'd travel.

Just like real life, for example:.
