Paul K 93 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 From last weekend, when I finally bought P3D v1.3; the default Maule, which FSX fliers will be familiar with, over some Orbx FTX Australia countryside. I've stopped any further transferring of files as v1.4 is out in a few days, and I'll start again with Orbx's migration tool. Downtown Melbourne off to the far right;- The teeming suburbs. You can smell the barbie smoke even up here;- Heading towards the mountains;- Closer still;- Into the red heart of Oz, and Orbx's YBAS Alice Springs add on, which gives you the airport and the town;- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boerries 24 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi Paul, nice screenies, but don´t put too much effort in installing more 3rd party addons, as there will be an P3d- upgrade availible on Aug. 20th. And this upgrade will need a complete deinstallation of P3d v 1.3 prior installing v 1.4 See here: http://www.prepar3d.com/news/2012/08/4026/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K 93 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Matt, there is a kind of kudos to flying a flight simulator by Lockheed Martin, no ? Lockheed...Martin...gawd, think of all those famous aircraft! Boerries, no worries! You are right, and I'm not doing anything more until 1.4 is installed. Luckily, Orbx's FTX scenery migration tool makes the transfer easy ( though the original files remain in FSX, and must stay there ) and Rex Essentials requires a $4.99 P3D license fee, after which, Rex Essentials works perfectly with the new sim. I've done nothing else as far as transferring FSX add-ons, and will wait till the new version is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Smith 1116 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You thought all that up at 6.28 on a Sunday morning? Im just going to and to your list the L1011, it is after all the greatest of all wide body airliners Also makes a pretty good inflight refueling platform too. Or how about this....

Paul K 93 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 No image showing there Matt - just a little rectangle with 'Posted Image' text in it. BTW, saw an L1011 at Cambridge airport about three weeks ago, stripped to bare metal with its engines running; an RAF TriStar, obviously, getting some TLC from Marshall Aerospace. How I wish I'd had a camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
