ORBX , The prize for this month February screen shot competition , released a new Melbourne International , this the SP1 updated







This is the SP1 , smaller download , just under 500 megs , the airport has changed and frame rates increased




and with Avalon released a perfect match , one you would have to buy for both , but 9th March a free airshow package .

Parked in Avalon pre show time next month .

Awesome Pics Ian,

Last time I Heard that FTX AU kills frames..
When you say increased how much??
Is it worth downloading and from where?

Also what AI is that it looks fantastic and looks the best ever.

To be truthful , i found no difference in frame rates , fact is , i realised i was running real world weather ! so thats a bonus , sits around a workable 10-14 fps

Who would have looked with the aircrew. I always liked flying at night, stews were not as busy on the red eye flights and you got better service and attention. Great screenshots Ian!

Nasty bit having to miss a show! You should be ashamed of yourself!

These Orbx addons are looking better and better- challenging FlyTampa for visual quality in my opinion. The 3D grass along the edge of the taxiways is great!

The good thing with the airport scenery , they blend with the Blue Gold Green Red ORBX or just simply run with default .
