haha I would love to have that Ian....I believe it is 'possible' using an animation but that would require at least a photoreal base etc (i.e. a custom modeled airport as opposed to an update using library objects)

Very impressive effort by ORBX. Can anyone tell me, though, why we can't have proper rivers in FSX? Is it really that hard to make basic water flowing like a river does instead of have the generic "cut and paste large body of water / big puddle" thing? Having proper rivers - that aren't boring, static ones in photoreal - would give FSX a decent lift in realism.

One reason i continually mention photo , now if you study ORBX rivers being ahead of the game exactly what they did for a texture .. to have rivers and coastlines work the same is a task that is huge but not impossible task .. old saying is .. simply takes time , and many just don't get payed for all addon's produced .. FSX is doing well by compare off its six year ago release .
