In light of the sale, I thought [...]

For those who’ve been wishing they could turn on their crash tolerance in FSX and fly at KCMW, your time has come. In the initial version of the scenery, we had to require that crash detection be turned off when using this scenery because of a conflict with our ObjectFlow dynamic placement module. I’m [...]

Even though I love flying small GA in and out of grubby little airports in FSX, every now and then I feel the need to shake things up. Maybe it starts with a review, a few tasty screenshots, or some raves from fanboys about this or that new tubeliner. I get to thinking hey, [...]

If you’re a pre-paid customer of ORBX’s KCMW Cushman Meadows, you probably got the email already that your download was available. The 24 countdown clock is now ticking until it’s available for purchase on the Flightsim Store. Until then, here’s a quick but hair-raising video that Andreas Paschen (Varioflight) put together:

In the rush to get the pics of Cushman Meadows posted last week, we mistakenly gave a few ’simmers the impression that Bear Gulch wasn’t part of the package. Fear not! I pushed the first full beta out to our testing team today, and the Gulch is definitely in there. It’s not finished yet, [...]

The title says it all, cats and kittens. I burned the midnight oil last night getting some screenshots done and beaming them to Australia, where JV worked his web page magic. Check it out here. Also, if you’re so inclined, you can pre-pay now.

Howdy, and happy 2011! It’s been a busy last couple of months in my neck of the woods, so I haven’t written here as much as I’d like. The backlog of things I wanted to talk about has grown heavy though, and it’s time to push some of it out onto the blog.
Sometimes these [...]

Last Chance to Save $$$ on Orbx Scenery!

by Bill Womack on December 30, 2010

in FSX

Hi everybody,
Sorry I’ve been so quiet here lately. The holidays really clobbered me with a bunch of non-FS to-do items. Good news, though: in the midst of all the Christmas & New Year’s madness, I have managed to get some scenery projects done. In fact, just today I finished the library of Orbx cabins [...]
