Departing San Diego...

Yep…if you look closely you can see one of Fido’s legs sticking out from under a main mount…but hey…as we used to say in VF-32, “A kill is a kill”. :sunglasses:

You can set the ORBX scenery to land on various rooftop helipads, including Naval Medical Center Balboa’s helipad. It is very realistic! You land but no Corpsmen show up to get your patient. :stuck_out_tongue:

So is this “Ortho” scenery that I see mentioned everywhere free?

If so, it makes switching from P3D to XP11 much more enticing…

Yes. You can make your own…or you can go the lazy way and just download some that have been pre-made. Warning though - they are very large downloads (a few GB each)…but they look awesome when blended with the autogen.

Yes - here is a good thread to start with - The forum search engine here is one of the best around and a quick hit of Ortho in it will spit up all sorts of useful threads…

Edit: Sniped by the owner!

It’s the “again” part that really got my heart thumping!

OK…Yes, Today is the Day! Much excitement. The silhouette looks more like an Alpha or Hawk T1 / T-45 Goshawk to me…but I’ll buy off on Hornetry. :sunglasses:

The ORBX Southern California scenery includes them in a partially enhanced style…I would’t expect accuracy and NASNI is not well portrayed. A few years back MegaEarth (I think) did a pretty good San Diego area…again, I couldn’t swear to the accuracy of the non-KSAN airports.

I worked with Haze Gray Studios on their Fleet Traffic: US Navy package (pay ware). The carrier part of NASNI and 32nd st Naval Base in ORBX were given us conceptions. I’ve been away from the project for a while but there were plans to fix at least NASNI.

I would love to support their products, but every time I attempt to do anything in FSX I find myself immediately filled with an unspeakable rage that only ends when I close the program. And I can ysually only do that via Task Manager.

They have a P3D V3 and V45 version. (I know because I coded the installer).
