Flight Simulation. What a difference a package makes!

One of my favorite places to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator is Australia. Why? Because of a company named Orbx that puts out wonderful sceneries that make VFR flying a joy in the sim world.

Take for example the airfield at Cessnock, in New South Wales. A colleague of mine known as  “HercFan” had to reinstall FSX and did a wonderful comparison of the scenery at Cessnock, before and after adding Orbx’s FTX package.

1. FSX (Acceleration) default:

cnk1

 

2. After FTX 3.0 install:

cnk2

 

3. And finally, with the FTX/Cessnock add-on:

cnk3

 

cnk4

Now you see why I love to fly in Orbx’s world in Flight Simulator FSX.
