I would like Wollongong and maybe the old Megis .. but Wolly would have to be the first.

I wish they would do Brisbane for P3DV3.2.

[Ian Warren]

FSX Brissy is a goodie .. surprised it simply could not be pushed into P3D , have you tried the freeware Brisbane, I think Antony Lynch had a fair part in it .... truthfully I have been doing little FSimming , one scenery I would like to look at is the 'Fly Tampa YSSY' again I'm guessing not P3D compatible.

[cowpatz]

Like you Ian I have done very little simming of late as well. Just trying to get back into it. Making a bit of a hash of flying the Majestic Q400 at the moment but getting better by the day.
Now that I took the jump to P3D V3.2 I'm trying to be a bit more selective in which add ons I use. The iFly 747 and 737 are taking longer than I had hoped to have the installers made ready and these were my regular fliers.
This I see as being one of the big set backs with LM. Regular updates are a mixed blessing as it is good to see them upgrading very dated code but having to wait for developers to update their code and then redownload the add ons is quite a pain. Also as with ORBX Brisbane there just doesn't seem to be the motivation to upgrade them either. It seems that if you don't fly in Southern California then you have a very long wait on your hands.

My longest regular real and FS flights were into Sydney, think also adding to the airport tours they use to have add to the mix, till I get back up and running for real I'll just plod along here, I'm sure 'Ants' Brissy should would work there, he's has the foresight in this area , have you tried it ?

[cowpatz]

No I haven't tried it yet. I'll take a look.

[Ian Warren]

I was told it knocked the socks off the ORBX for frame rates against or compared, I have not tried it myself .

[deeknow]

Yup, I have the Orbx Brissy and Ants version. The Orbx one is terrible on frames on my rig, Ants fine and the detail is good enough for me

[cowpatz]

Yes Ant's version is fine for my needs. It works well.
I might grab the FTX HD trees and maybe another airport.

Just interest sake , my system is pretty old now .. what are you running Dean ? I'm only a 3.0GHz Quad 4 -8GB RAM with the 750GTXTi .

I'm very surprised we have not seen anything from the 'FlyTampa Sydney' scenery with or without OBRX

I wish they would do Brisbane for P3DV3.2.

It's been ported now.

I do have the warships for it ... be bloody interesting just to see how they work in P3D, that is one off the few thing I have studied with this program is the Ocean affect, ORBX - P3D - AEROSOFT - Big outfits .... something that stuck me we have not really seen a defined P3D water view with these products combined ...

[cowpatz]

Has anyone tried the "ported" YBBN. Is it still a real frame hog?

[Ian Warren]

Is it still a real frame hog?

The weird thing when Brisbane was first released pre service pack the FPS were workable... they did the same with Melbourne scenery.
