FSX: Siletz Bay scenery
This video by “athe-one”, showcases the beauty of ORBX sceneries and MS Flight Simulator (FSX).
Siletz Bay (S45) scenery by Bill Womack and ORBx, very realistically depicts a coastal airfield in Central Oregon. The aircraft and boats used are also non-default, but commercial products by different manufacturers.
I do have this scenery myself and couple of the aircraft he uses. What you see in this video is what I see when I fly. Awesome, isn’t it?

FSX flight simulator–Scenery by Orbx
FSX: Orbx Pacific Northwest scenery very well presented by Misha.
This is why I love the third party market, even years after Microsoft disbanded the Aces Team, development continues and the action still goes on!

The state of the art in flight simulation for home today
Watch this beautiful video of ORBX’s Caloundra, an airfield in NE Australia. I love to fly this area, represented so beautifully.I am always amazed with the quality of this company’s payware sceneries (which I have installed some time ago).
Watch in in YouTube in HD instead.

Enjoy!

New safety video from the Victorian Government.
Video posted by John (aka nojwood), a fellow FSX flier from Australia.
His intro:
“The Victorian Government (Australia), fed up with slow-poke pilots who take forever to land, has released a series on how to get down fast, effectively and with maximum outback-style safety. This episode, number 22 in a series, covers the approach and landing into Porepunkah, the gateway to Mount Buffalo and the surrounding national park.”
Safety Video - Approach to Porepunkah, Victoria
Well done John! Great safety instructions, good flying and love you Aussie accent!

Got the new Orcas Island (KORS) scenery for FSX - I’m in awe
See for yourself. The detail available today in Flight Simulator (FSX) is unbelievable. A pleasure to fly.
This video uses a different technique, stop motion instead of true video. It shows off the detailed work ORBx did in this scenery.
I just got it and can’t believe how good it is.
KORS: see it in HD
This is one of my shots flying in Orcas Island for the first time (the plane is an L-19 Birddog amphibian by Sibwings). It was a dreary day, as I fly with real weather, you never know what you’ll get.

See for yourself:

Wonderful FSX flight
This is a wonderful flight recorded by my friend Patrick (aka "Jigsaw") in the new Carenado Cessna 185F, through some ruggedly beautiful terrain from Scar Creek to Tsuniah Lake in British Columbia, using a beta of the soon-to-be-released Pacific Northwest (PNW) scenery from Orbx. Enjoy!

Flight Sim: OZx Team’s Australia!
As many of you know, I like the realism of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Besides the excellent world-wide coverage of the sim, and the default planes, enthusiastic simmers have a lot of choices to improve the hobby, with freeware and payware planes and sceneries.
One of the usual producers, the OZx Team has just released OZx_AUS_v3.0, freeware for Microsoft Flight Simulator – FSX. It is a big download, in two parts, that covers the continent in 3Gb with over 5,000 files!
It has 20 new fields and heliports, 13 water landing ports and new VFR sceneries covering the Aussie landscape. This makes a total of over 300 sceneries plus oil rigs and farm silos. It provides wonderful flying opportunities, from the lush green landscapes of eastern Australia to the red outback, from farming areas in the west to the oil fields in the Indian Ocean.
As I do not know much of Australia (having never flown there), I decided to do a tour with a few hops a day, to get to know the terrain. This one started at Canberra (YSCB) going North, with Plan-G maps (beta) open on my second monitor. Very nice scenery, very well done. Plane is A2A's Piper Cub (payware), and excellent choice for model realism, if you like laid back, low and slow flying.
On to some screenshots:
1. Plan-G flight plan
2. NE of Canberra (YSCB) 
3. Farmland near Lake George, NSW 
4. Goorooyarroo Natural Reserve 
5. Over the Shoalhaven River canyon
6. Goulburn (YGLB) ahead 
(click on the images for larger size)
I like the realism of the plane, an excellent rendition of the venerable Piper J3 Cub, and OZx’s Australia scenery. The passenger is Heidi, and she talks and reacts to the kind of flying you do, so better be a good pilot.
I plan to continue flying hops around Oz and see what the land has to offer.

6-1/2 Magic Hours
A beautiful video on the Boeing 707 unveiling. It was a beautiful plane, which I fondly remember even though I was too young to have flown it.
YouTube set of videos:
Those were the times!
