That would give you four continents, anyway. Then buy the Lancair IV-P, an outstanding single engine, pressurized cabin, aircraft, that comes in several liveries, and both HIgh Definiton and low def. It is the only plane made (at this point) by the ORBX guys. Warning: The Lancair is excellent. It is fast - over 300 mph for a single general aviation prop is fast, has a high ceiling (30,000 + feet) due to the pressurized cabin. Warning: the high definition liveries, combined with REX and ORBX scenery, and high operational complexity, is a frame rate killer. The virtual cockpit is SPECTACULAR in the high def versions, but it will bring some i7 PC's (like mine) to their knees. But well worth it, nevertheless. _________________________ Flight Simulator X, Ghost Recon Classic, Rainbow Six/Rogue Spear, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, GPL --- the best of the best!

MTFDarkEagle Shrek 9th Air Strike Sqn Member Registered: 09/27/10 Posts: 152 Loc: The Netherlands	Ah, for some reason it's working now And yes, that is an awsome scenery as well, but to be brutally honest: ALL sceneries from Orbx are awsome! So basically: get these sceneries: http://flightsimstore.com.au/index.php?manufacturers_id=92&osCsid=dujgjagf40p43mjf6pk4g0g564 Edited by MTFDarkEagle (07/07/11 04:53 PM) _________________________ Lukas ----------------------------------- AMD Phenom II X4 o/c’d @ 3,74 ghz \| Noctua NH-D14 \| NZXT Tempest \| Asus Crosshair II Formula \| 7gb DDR2-800 Kingston \| Geforce 295GTX-O/C \| 2 x WD 500GB \| Corsair HX1000W \| 22”+18.5" Samsung \| TrackIR 4 \| HOTAS Warthog \| G25 \| W7 x64 Ultimate

Icarus1 Member Registered: 11/02/09 Posts: 385	Originally Posted By: Positronic Even though I am aussie, pacific north west from orbx has so many mountains and rivers and lakes, Australia is mostly flat :p +1 But I'm not from Australia. If I had to pick, it would be PNW for the mountains and lakes etc. Absolutely stunnng. And then there is BOB! Awesome for vids. I have all of it and pre-ordered Central Rockies. This scenery is lightyears better than anything other scenery for FSX and the only downer is that it does not cover the world....yet.
