Check out this video.



Quite amazing, it will allow you to really explore all the great scenery addons in FSX.

Found it at SOH

A step closer to what I have been wishing for years.

Where sims collide. Imagine BOB but in a proper car sim where you can get out and fly FSX then go to an army range and COD then drive/fly off to a racing circuit and do a few laps etc etc.

Imagine a world sim where you can buy and add modules that all interact in first person. That's what I want.

There's already a similar add-on out there, but I'm curious about BOB anyways.

There's some great ship add ons for FSX, so perhaps a Silent Hunter 4 kinda thing also.

For me this is the fascinating thing about Arma2. I know neither tank nor helos are real "sim quality" there, but the fact you can get out of any vehicle, run around, get into a different vehicle just makes the landscape feel so much more real.

Good point, RS. And I believe the modeling and functions of the vehicles and aircraft has improved with every iteration of the sim since OFP was first released.

I was thinking....TrafficX includes a car you can drive around as long as you start at an airport. It works pretty well. So I assume if you set yourself at one of these high detail airfields and select the car you should be able to drive around the towns etc?

I will try this out tonight.

Too bad something doesn't exist for FS9.

(and Active camera doesn't count... as the render point is still the aircraft)

What terrain is that? I do not have that level of detail when it comes to grass.

Talking about detail have you seen this?

Mind blowing!!

By the way yes driving the TrafficX car around the ORBX scenery does work although the cars dynamics leave a lot to be desired but it's still possible and good fun.
