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)

Now i wonder , a rather good model builder could create the similar thing as AI shipping , then again , after the flooding and rail washed away .. just to much for so little .

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 .
