My kind of airport.

I'm not flightsimming at the moment (real aircraft photography has my attention now) but I decided to stay with P3D 4.5 for a while, at least until winter. I gave up on P3D v5.0. Not for the sim itself, it will mature in time, but not all add-ons (even Orbx) work as advertised. As for MSFS; too many bug reports are posted everywhere on the internet to hold me off at the moment. I don't mind people saying it's a game. I'm a low and slow eye candy scenery lover anyway. So eventually I will take the step.

It needs a little getting used to but I'll give it a chance.

You better post this on the MSFS forum so that the team can do something about it. MS isn't looking here for glitches.

I love what you did with the border of the apron Marcus.

While the airport is not for my type of flying, it's truly a piece of art.

Thanks for the comment Nick. Makes sense.

Jack, are you sure about this? I always thought that an SSD helps with faster loading scenery which results in less blurry ground textures, especially with fast jets. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Doesn't anyone notice the difference of the shadows on the '4' and the runway in #1? Is this product 100% compatible with V5? My guess is not. Sorry for the negative reaction but new buyers think that these kinds of products are V5 compatible while many of them are not for 100%. There should be a statement on the product page about this.

While I do like the scenery, the blending of the airports are still a great concern for me.

I would too. I've mentioned this before, Orbx should make Enhanced airfields and POI packs for Open LC regions to get more life there.

And no update stress. I'm feeling I'm getting very annoyed and stressed by all the troubles each new version of P3D brings and the so called compatible products along with it. I haven't flown for a few weeks because of this, hence not seeing me posting here for a while. Pure frustration. FSX, not being updated has a kind of serenity over it. Maybe I just stick with P3D v4 for a while since that version has stopped developing and wait for all the teething problems in V5 to be over.

As far as I understand FTX PNW region has its own vector installed. Global Vector has nothing to do with it. Or do you mean Open LC NA, PWN area?

Any news or thoughts from the Orbx staff about this issue? I see this topic is still labeled as answered which it isn't.

You mean the resolution of the ortho used. Yes, it's not the highest but that is what Orbx could their hands on for a reasonable price I guess. Not all TE products are low(er) resolution TE NL for instance is good. As for your question about the choice between FTX and TE, I think it's personal. I myself have abandoned TE GBS because of its resolution you speak of and of the (slightly but enough) misalignment of the airfields with the orthos. I'm enjoying FTX ENG very much now because the LC textures are sharper and the airfields blend in very well. Also I find the tree colors matchi
