I should have bought FTX AU Green first, instead of Blue. This is more what I had hoped for.

Thanks for looking.

Looking good there Larry. This 'Land Down Under" scenery is so good you will end up buying them all. I lucked out last year when they offered a package deal for all the areas on a DVD on sale.

Thanks Bob.

The only one I don't have yet is red. They still have the entire continent for $99. But I already had blue so I opted to get green and gold now and red later on. I also added the freeware Holgermesh

and OzX AUS v3.1, which is the airports. I did have OzX AUS v3.0, so I had to download and install it before v3.1. It took a while, especially since we were having thunderstorms and my

connection is not rain proof. Roll Eyes

Orbx and I thank you.

You should see it in game. The screenies don't do it justice. The first four shots look to me like they might have been 'adjusted' a wee bit via contrast or saturation.

They weren't. WYSIWYG. And no, I'm not on orbx's payroll. Grin

Beautiful pics Larry. AUGreen is great! Get Ant's package of airports if you don't already have them. Flying around Darwin is wonderful. I recently downloaded the AU traffic as well. I think it's great. There is a nice variety of GA and smaller airlines along with the usual heavys in Australia.

Looking good Larry...looking good...

I would have thought they would have sold them all as a package deal...(red, blue, green...etc) altogether.

Thanks Mike.

I have Ants and the freeware OzX AUS v3.1, which I thought was airports, but I'm not seeing as many as I thought I would. But I have not had time to really explore yet. Might have to add the AI.

Thanks Doug.

They do now Doug, but not when I got AU Blue. I planned to go back and get one every month or so, but got sidetracked. Since I already had Blue, it would have been a waste of money to get the package deal. Have not decided if I want to get Red.
