Just about finish the download and should be up in the Iceland virtual air within the hour. Will report back.

Interesting, the installer has an option for P3D v2.

Most if not all of their scenery has dual installers these days. They are big supporters of P3D.

I've got to wait 'til this evening to get mine so I'm hoping that their servers hold up.

Downloaded and tried, thanks for the HU YoYo. This is very impressive with lots to see.

Many thanks to ORBX, I think this should have a Sticky.

Indeed they are. And have had dual installers. But what it's the first time I see the "V2" option. It's coming...

Safely on the ground after 30 minutes of sightseeing (BIRF-BIST). Opus weather made the landing interesting!

This is a solid product. An quite an impressive offer for freeware I might add. I don't have time screenshots but will try to post some later this evening.

Install went no problem. I have many ORBX regions, etc (but not Global).

In terms of smoothness and fps, they never dipped below 27 (locked at 30 on my mid level system).

Not a fan of FTXGlobal, but the screenshots looks pretty good and it's a nice gift, definitely worth checking out. Thanks for the HU

How come there's no ice in Iceland? That ain't right.

Cheers,

**stiz** · October 29th, 2013, 03:00

its all in Greenland, ironically

***Dimus*** · October 29th, 2013, 03:02

I would be very interested to see how it looks without FTX Global installed.

Since it is a generous gift and a non-global version also exists I will try it anyway, just would be interested to have a look.

Iceland is surrounded by the warm Gulf Stream, that's why!

both versions look the same and have all the Global textures etc... the difference is that the Global version integrates with the Global control Panel for those who have it, the non-global version is a stand alone, anybody can use it scenery. you still get the textures.

Thank you! Most informative reply sir!:salute:

I've been quite pleased with how ORBX FTX did New Zealand (I have their South Island package; do most of my flying there). Being something of an armchair volcanologist I'll be very interested in how they render one of the most geologically active and dynamic regions on Earth. Looking forward to see how they visualize Surtsey, Vestmannaeyjar, and the Laki Fissure region.

Come along, the Gulf Stream does not prevent freezing in Iceland. If ya don't believe me, have a look here: http://www.ttv.is/en/winter/ice-fishing-ttv-11

Yeah, it freezes up north and especially the streams, rivers and lakes at elevation. Looks like Orbx left that feature out of this scenery.
