Admit it, there is nothing in civilian PC flight that can touch FSX, even with stock clouds like these. MS Flight is a joke. I've never tried X-Plane, but some like it. I can't imagine X-Plane showing Edmonton looking this good. FSX rules!

Didn't you see them? I should purchase that program that puts on the labels of famous landmarks.

Plainsman,

but you have to admit, this is ORBX, not stock FSX.

Cool Shots,

Its nice to see stock FSX since it shows just how ahead of its time FSX really was or is. It still holds up great after 6 or 7 years later. a real testament to those who created it. Sad that Microsoft decided not to continue with it, but there are still tons of addons coming out for FSX, so I predict it still has a long life ahead.

Hm,

Plainsman are 100% sure? `cause my ORBX Edmonton looks very similar to your "stock" Edmonton.

Here is the frontier to ORBX land a little east of Edmonton. I did that flight when I bought the whole US/CA addons a while ago in a sale, but I think Edmonton belongs to the PNW addon.

Watch the difference in the ground textures













edit: just did a little test flight, even the three King Airs in Parking Position are there.

Wow! In that last shot it looks like that truck is jumping the river!

Dukes of Hazard addon for FSX?
