Wow. I decided to load up FSX for the first time in a long time and installed that weather engine last night. It's awesome! It's literally the same as the weather outside. Maybe it's just luck that the approximation is so similar, but my screen sits in front of a window and the view of the clouds in the sim sky is practically seamless to that of outside. Love it!
Thanks for the recommendations. Am having a whale of a time with those freeware scenery enhancements. Leclercq had updated his textures with the excellent all-in-one Terra Emergence Project v1. The FS Water Configurator rocks!
The TEP Final V1 for ALeclercqCreations replaces Rock, Forest, Desert, Grassland, pastures, Interzone (between rock and forest) (in fact all natural zone) with autogen reworked. All around the World and all seasons. So now you only need one file for those instead of the longer list of files. I haven't found the Cumulus clouds on his page though.
Great video. I just grabbed FSX for $5 on Steam's Summer Sale. All those Facebook links are completely broke. Do you have any other means to download them?
Hey Jordan. I just wanted to say thanks to all your videos I am finally beginning to really enjoy my FSX. I recently bought the Steam Edition and upon reformatting my newly built PC and installed it instead of the box edition. I have so far did the following from this video: Sky Textures, Sun, Mod, Nvidia Settings and the Weather Engine. It looks awesome. I don't know whether its the SE or the fact I rebuilt my PC that FSX looks really good. FPS even with the Aerosoft A318-21 series I'm getting above 50fps. I'm just want to say thanks again and keep up the good work.
Best video I've seen so far. Thanks so much. I'm planning on uploading a before/after video with all these addons, and I'll link to this video. I hope that's alright! Cheers!
Hi Jordan, just want to thank you for this great video, i applied all you're suggestions and i can't believe the transformation from stock FSX, you are the man !!! Thanks again !!! P.
Excellent video as usual Jordan. Cool intro video too! I shall be using most of this except the sky and weather as I have the paid apps Active Sky Next and Rex's stuff. That water and terrain's are great looking!
Hello Jordan.... Just found your channel and I like what I see on these downloads... One question though... I am a heavy ORBX user... including FTXGlobal 2010, vector and Base. What if any incompatibilities might I find trying to use these downloads or should I use them separately... Thanks and Beautiful job!
@Jordan Hi, my website is gone, replaced by a Facebook page facebook.com/ALeclercqCreations/?fref=nf Find my next project: Terra Emergence Project for FSX and P3D facebook.com/ALeclercqCreations/?fref=nf Regards
thank you, I use fsx box and now SE ... I am on a shoe string budget and this is what info I really needed until I can pay for the better stuff.... could you do a vid or two on the shoe string sim pilot... from aircraft to vids like this.... thanks.... and great vid. love it.
Maybe you saw this in a comment from 3 years ago, but all those textures from the early part of the video have been replaced with "TEP Final V1" from ALeclercqCreations. This one file replaces Rock, Forest, Desert, Grassland. Just google it.
Thanks again Jordan, this is great for someone who just started like me and will definitely use it for the foreseeable future, but as you probably know, we all get the bug to upgrade at some point so I would love it if in the future you can do more videos about payware for scenery/weather etc, with before/after comparisons, setup and your opinions on their price point. I'm not asking you to do the payware's companies job, but just looking around their websites and write ups are really terrible and I really value your opinion, specially how some of them stack to the freeware's options. I just bought REX soft clouds 4 because of one of your videos but Im not sure if the freeware version shown in this video are better?
Hey Jordan. First, thank you for putting all that work into this video! It actually helps alot. I know you made this video almost 4 years ago and as You mentioned in your Description, some files have changed already. However I actually managed to find everything you showcased and Im actually flying with it now. Nevertheless I got one question for you: Is there any core data I have to download/install in order to get EVERYTHING you showcased working, e.g. UIPC for FSXWX. Cause Im actually experiecing some weird "bumps" while flying my jet. In my case this means im like getting kicked forward but instantly pulled backwards afterwards, so Im like getting +15kts and -15kts multiple times within a single second. Im wondering if this is happening because of FSXWX which is maybe producing weird turbulences? Or could this maybe occur due to me not installing and running Nvidia Inspector? It felt like the Nvidia thingy is not that necessary. I would love to get an answer from you Bud :)
Hi Jordan, I noticed your hardware specs state you are using 2x GTX980s. Does this make a significant difference to FSX and Prepar3d? i.e. increased FPS. Or did you buy two cards for other games?
Hello Jordan! The Nvidia Inspector and FSX graphics detail settings you mention here are they specific for your rig with dual GTX 980 or do they apply to my rig with single GTX 980? I ask because I have got some small scenery stutter when flying. My system specs: Intel I7 4930k oc 4.0 Ghz 1 x GTX 980 1 x Kingston 240 Gb SSD 64 Gb RAM (This machine is used for aerial photo map/3D-model rendering running on a RAID 0 HHD-set) I dualboot to play FSX :) Asus P9x79 I followed your setup with the files from ALeclercqCreations, but instead I tried his TEP for FSX, do I need the other add-ons like Rocks, Forests, Tundras, Roads, Rivers, Cumulus Clouds, and Seasonal Textures? The weather engine was amazing, what a transformation for FSX! Thank you for a great UA-cam channel! /Per, Sweden
+Per Elofson They should work on your Single GTX980 just fine. You may want to explore using an affinity mask of 14 to help with the stutters. Glad you enjoyed!
Jordan - Great videos. How would you compare the freeware to payware setup? I assume you switched between the two for the videos. Are the differences meaningful? Maybe a side x side comaprison. Thx, Eric
Real quick question in relation to FSXWX.... What setting do you choose in FSX for weather once you have got FSXWX set up and running? Apart for that, thanks so much for the guide and info!
+David WoodAviation If you'd googled it you'd have found it :) ; here cause I am a nice guy: flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/7592/fsx-road-textures-scenery/
I just dont get why my draw distance is so crap compared to everyone elses. When i first load into the airport, its great, i can see heaps far.. But as soon as i take off, it all blurs and shit and when i land i cant see any good scenery at all.
great video...just started flying sim again after being gone for years. With flyinside and Oculus I am loving it. The TEP Final V1 for ALeclercqCreations is a wonderful addition and really updates the sim. I tried the Aerofly FS 2 and as it is really nice I just didn't see the value since I already owned FSX. Thanks again and any other freebie stuff you come across feel free to share.
hey jordan... this tutorial was really good... i recetntly bought the FSX steam edition, last month... well at the end of the tutorial i notice, u have a GTX 980 mahcine u run FSX with... well is till use the GTX 650ti the 1GB VRAM one... do u think i can install all the above freeware add-ons u mentined with my 1GB gpu, will FSX run smoothly?? or is it too much of a ask...?? Hoping to hear from u soon...
Great video but most of the links to ALeclercqCreations downloads are invalid now. Only the TEP version for Prepar3d remains active. The other downloads I was able to get. Thanks for posting those links!
Well I have to say, although I have not actually flown with all this installed yet. still working on setting up the new pc in the sim, even just sitting on the runway things look a lot different. Thanks for this video. Do you have something on this channel that talks about must have buys? My rig is no monster but should perform ok. 2nd gen i7, GTX 780 16gbs ram OS and FSX on separate SSDs.
Greetings Jordan I would like to see if you can make a video on flight planning. On the Pmdg 737/777 or Qw 757. Not so much as to what Aircraft but how you would go about getting the info needed to program the FMC. If and when you have the time. Thanks
I installed all this and it looks a lot better. However the ground textures look....the best i can describe it is staticky as in TV static. The textures are there but very grainy. Is this normal or what could be the issue?
Hi Jordan, I did the instlation of the Weather Program but now when I fly the Temperature keeps jumping and causing the Speed Indication to jump all over the place almost like it's reading two different temp's. Is there a fix for this?
Just downloaded the weather thing. The weather shows and the winds are correct, but ATC things the wind is calm all the time so assigns the wrong runway. anyone else had this problem?
Hi Jordan; I don't have Nvidia for my video. I'm running FSX Steam on an HP laptop with Intel video. Do you have any information for what the settings would be for that type of driver? Thanks.
Hey there Jordan. Have another quick question for you. I've installed all the freeware addons you mention here. There is one that particularly reduces performance for me, the clouds. Do you think REX soft clouds would be even "heavier" on my system? Because I was thinking about buying it, but it doesn't make much sense to buy it if I'm not gonna be able to use it. Thanks so much!
Hi, i followed all steps but when i run the fsxwx , i click connect, and it aromatically disconnects. by the way is there a paid tool that will modified the entire fsx and making it look hd and all?
I am downloading FSX Steam edition right now, and I see your PC specs and I am concerned about my performance. I have an AMD FX-8320, an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti FTW (2 gb) and 8GB 1866MHz RAM. Im going to try though :) Awesome video
Great video & info Jordan. I have a question on your Nvidia inspector settings. My system configuration is different than yours. Like I don't have two video cards in SLI and other stuff I'm sure, so you think it would be OK to use your profile and it will be alright ?
As far as the cloud textures with the wx weather...would I need those if I am running SOftClouds/Rex4 Texture direct? Do they play nice together? Great videa. Thanks!
Is there freeware that can put weather effects on the aircraft? (ie. icing, water droplets on windshield in rain and cloud, icing on the windshield, ect.)
Also i want to ask you about the directx, what if my computer supports directx12, won't it work? I just bought the latest asus gamer pc and it has great nvidia card etc
hi mate, i am a beginner and want to start FSX from scratch, never played FSX before. I checked your links but some were broken. Can you fix your links pls ?
Hi, I have downloaded everything and my fsx looks amazing now :) thank you! But one question about fsxwx, is this live weather? im only asking because i purposely went to afew airports today as there were thunderstorms forcast, but fsxwx wasn't accurate. I have tried looking online for reviews on this weather engine but cant find any. Plz reply..... Thanks :)
The first ink is dead and I did a little poking around and found nothing. Is there anyplace to get the textures that are supposed to be at that first link?
Jordan, I respect the scientific, and objective approach to your videos. You yourself said you try to steer clear of conjecture and I appreciate that. I'm curious-- as an FSX expert-- how use managed to avoid the UI automation core DLL crashes; that have plagued many of us? At least I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
Jordan, took me awhile, but I found the original post where you commented that FSX-steam fixed the UIAutomationcore.dll crashes. I *am* still getting UIAutomationcore.dll crashes; even though this is FSX Steam, so what might you offer as a suggestion for fixing? Thanks.
If you are getting errors when running the FSXWX executable, go to the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces, and run (install) the SimConnect.msi program in each of this folders, install one then try FSXWX, if it doesnt work, try another and run FSXWX and keep going until FSXWX doesnt show an error.... I had this problem because it seems the current Steam installation of FSX has a newer version of the Simconnect DLL than what FSXWX is using, so you need to install one of the older ones. It fixed the issue for me.
First of all thanks for a great video with so much great info. My FSX SE looks amazing now. The problem I have is that the stars are gone in night flights. Do you have a good freeware for night sky?
I have already whatcs some vids about make it better but now i discoverd this video. But if i try out your method then i think i need to delete my old mods and i cant find them in the fsx files so i need to reinstall the whole game but i got so many mods that i like. The question is do you no any author ways. Btw does it work with a i7 8086k and a 1060 6gb
I was planning on getting the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 with 2GB Ram. Would that run smoothly or will there be little change? Right now I have the built-in Intel HD Graphics Card. It's not that very good. ;)
Hi Jordan, I'm new on FSX, therefore sorry for question. Does it mean that by downloading these we don't need pay for Orbx FTX Global, Orbx FTX Vector or FS Global 2010 Mesh? Or they are absolutely different things?
+Vusal Gurbanov Hi Vusal. You won't need FTX Global if you choose to use these textures and are happy with them. I would actually not recommend Vector or Mesh unless you have a specific need for those products. They tend to cause more problems than benefits in some cases. Global however is a great product.
Hi Jordan Nice Video. I have a question... I'm using Dx10 with Scenery fixer by Pete Downson, are all those textures compatible? I'm also running Opus,
The TEP is very different now. Is everything you talked about contained in the single zip file you get now when you click "Use App" on their Facebook page?
Im experiencing crashes after Ive installed the above mentioned Addons. Any ideas why that is so and/or what I can do to fix it ? When it occasionally let me in it looks great. My computer is I7 quad core with 16gb ram and 980M graphic card.. Thanks in advance
Hi thnx for the video, really liked it and in the proces of installing the lot. One but though, the water... i get al these error messages that it cant install/change settings because its missing ´shades´ files in the FSX route map (steam). I already needed to manually point it towards where my route folder was etc. Any idea what that is?
Thanks for your help Jordan. Would you believe that my 14 year old daughter figured it out for me !!!!!! God that makes me feel so old 😱 All I've got to figure out now is which files I need to download !!!! As far as I can see all the facebook links you have posted just take me to a facebook main page, I'm just not sure which links I should be downloading. I just want my fsx to look as good as yours, that's not too much to ask is it !!!!! 😊 😊 😊
Hello Jordan, Great help here, but need a bit more with my FSUIPC4 (for FSX-SE). Does not get installed I think, when FSXWX is started I get the message "FSUIPC connection failed". SIMCONNECT gets established. Haven't been able to get through this so I have no weather. But the other stuff with texture improved has really worked wonders.. Will you have some time to give me some advice. Thanks..
+TTechnogeeksTT Gameplays and Reviews I built it for general gaming, video encoding, and such. Not for FSX specifically. There are builders such as Jetline systems that build FSX specific computers.
Jordan, your videos are awesome and very informative - thank you. I have tried going to GeForce to check/update drivers but that doesn't work for my system, nothing compatible. I also downloaded and ran Nvidea Inspector but that also did not work, I guess because I do not have any Nvidea in my system??? So that part of your suggestions did not work for me. Would it still be worth downloading all the others, except the WX engine as I have ASN already? regards, Dane
Hi Dane, To use the nvidia tools, you need an nvidia graphics card. So that is likely why it didnt work. Also, if you have ASN, you can probably do without the freeware weather program.
Amazing video Jordan, just one question though, as of right at this moment i do not have a nivdia GTX 980 im looking to getting one, but i have a AMD 7770 and i wanted to know the profile settings you changed in the Nivdia Inspector so i might know what to do in the AMD config. Thank you so much for all this it was amazingly nice help in improving my game i cannot wait to play it now, Cheers!
Thanks for the info! Just wondering, when you download the ground textures (winter, spring, summer, fall) do I have to pick one or do I install all of them?
Good to know! I haven't meddled with FSX in years, so im basically relearning everything with how to improve it haha. Now if I can only dig out some of my old Carenado aircraft from my messy desk area....
***** Also since i'm getting back into FSX, what would be your recommendation for AI traffic? I just want something with a lot of diverse traffic but I dont want to have to purchase flightplans all the time!
Wow. I decided to load up FSX for the first time in a long time and installed that weather engine last night. It's awesome! It's literally the same as the weather outside. Maybe it's just luck that the approximation is so similar, but my screen sits in front of a window and the view of the clouds in the sim sky is practically seamless to that of outside. Love it!
Oh, and the wind and such is perfect. I live in a windy place, and flying that little ultralight in it is a real exercise :)
It really is a great free tool!
@@JordanKingGaming Hey man, does the Weather Engine improves only the texture of the clouds, or does it remodel completely their behavior?
Thanks for the recommendations. Am having a whale of a time with those freeware scenery enhancements. Leclercq had updated his textures with the excellent all-in-one Terra Emergence Project v1. The FS Water Configurator rocks!
The TEP Final V1 for ALeclercqCreations replaces Rock, Forest, Desert, Grassland,
pastures, Interzone (between rock and forest) (in fact all natural zone)
with autogen reworked. All around the World and all seasons. So now you only need one file for those instead of the longer list of files. I haven't found the Cumulus clouds on his page though.

I am downloading FSX Steam edition right now, and I see your PC specs and I am concerned about my performance. I have an AMD FX-8320, an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti FTW (2 gb) and 8GB 1866MHz RAM. Im going to try though :) Awesome video
Great video & info Jordan. I have a question on your Nvidia inspector settings. My system configuration is different than yours. Like I don't have two video cards in SLI and other stuff I'm sure, so you think it would be OK to use your profile and it will be alright ?
It will be fine. Nvidia Inspector doesnt control SLI
Thanks I will do it.
***** Thank You Jordan. It does work just fine.
As far as the cloud textures with the wx weather...would I need those if I am running SOftClouds/Rex4 Texture direct? Do they play nice together? Great videa. Thanks!
Great Video Jordan.
Di I still need to change the textures if I have Orbx Global Installed?
Thank you!
Is there freeware that can put weather effects on the aircraft? (ie. icing, water droplets on windshield in rain and cloud, icing on the windshield, ect.)
Unfortunately not. Not even payware can do that.
+RevolutionGamerHD aerofly has a long way to go but looks promising :)
Also i want to ask you about the directx, what if my computer supports directx12, won't it work? I just bought the latest asus gamer pc and it has great nvidia card etc
hi mate, i am a beginner and want to start FSX from scratch, never played FSX before. I checked your links but some were broken. Can you fix your links pls ?
Would this be compatible with regular FSX, not the steam edition?
can we use those freeware addons plus payware addons? And also weather engine plus ASNX? Great video buddy
thanjks buddy! Then it will look very awesome ;)..keep it up the good work
Hi, I have downloaded everything and my fsx looks amazing now :) thank you!
But one question about fsxwx, is this live weather? im only asking because i purposely went to afew airports today as there were thunderstorms forcast, but fsxwx wasn't accurate. I have tried looking online for reviews on this weather engine but cant find any.
Plz reply.....
Thanks :)
Which of these addons are the most important to making fsx look better?
I would say the sky textures, the clouds, and the weather engine
The first ink is dead and I did a little poking around and found nothing. Is there anyplace to get the textures that are supposed to be at that first link?
+breed445 Looks like their site went down, link is updated now!
+Jordan King Got it, Thanks!
+breed445 The dev just replied that they moved to a facebook group here: facebook.com/ALeclercqCreations/?fref=nf
Thank you so much! This makes fsx look so much better!
+GEOMETRY DASH MANGUY119 Glad it does!
Jordan, I respect the scientific, and objective approach to your videos. You yourself said you try to steer clear of conjecture and I appreciate that. I'm curious-- as an FSX expert-- how use managed to avoid the UI automation core DLL crashes; that have plagued many of us? At least I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
Jordan, took me awhile, but I found the original post where you commented that FSX-steam fixed the UIAutomationcore.dll crashes.
I *am* still getting UIAutomationcore.dll crashes; even though this is FSX Steam, so what might you offer as a suggestion for fixing? Thanks.
very nice i coiped what u did really changed my Lots in my FSX awsome keep it up
If you are getting errors when running the FSXWX executable, go to the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces, and run (install) the SimConnect.msi program in each of this folders, install one then try FSXWX, if it doesnt work, try another and run FSXWX and keep going until FSXWX doesnt show an error.... I had this problem because it seems the current Steam installation of FSX has a newer version of the Simconnect DLL than what FSXWX is using, so you need to install one of the older ones. It fixed the issue for me.
***** Thanks Jordan, I did it last night and didnt remember which one did the trick.
I really enjoyed your video, I am using AMD HD 7850 2gb. Is there an AMD inspector or something as a substitute for Nvidia?
Thanks
Hi jordan, i was wondering, are the programs compatible with fsx steam edition? Tks
Thank you! Really nice video and you explain everything very detailled so that everybody can understand it!
Glad it was helpful!
First of all thanks for a great video with so much great info. My FSX SE looks amazing now. The problem I have is that the stars are gone in night flights. Do you have a good freeware for night sky?
I've lost all stars and moon from the sky.
Sorry, I have the moon, but no stars
I have already whatcs some vids about make it better but now i discoverd this video. But if i try out your method then i think i need to delete my old mods and i cant find them in the fsx files so i need to reinstall the whole game but i got so many mods that i like. The question is do you no any author ways.
Btw does it work with a i7 8086k and a 1060 6gb
Big thanks for compiling this.
I was planning on getting the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 with 2GB Ram. Would that run smoothly or will there be little change?
Right now I have the built-in Intel HD Graphics Card. It's not that very good. ;)
Are you running Windows 7 or 10? My computer crashes a lot with 10 when running FSX. Any suggestions?
Hi Jordan,
I'm new on FSX, therefore sorry for question. Does it mean that by downloading these we don't need pay for Orbx FTX Global, Orbx FTX Vector or FS Global 2010 Mesh? Or they are absolutely different things?
+Vusal Gurbanov Hi Vusal. You won't need FTX Global if you choose to use these textures and are happy with them. I would actually not recommend Vector or Mesh unless you have a specific need for those products. They tend to cause more problems than benefits in some cases. Global however is a great product.
+Jordan King thanks for detailed information!!!
@Jordan King can you make a video on your setup with pc specs and your flight sim desk/setup
Hi Jordan Nice Video. I have a question... I'm using Dx10 with Scenery fixer by Pete Downson, are all those textures compatible? I'm also running Opus,
thanks Jordan....! I will....
The TEP is very different now. Is everything you talked about contained in the single zip file you get now when you click "Use App" on their Facebook page?
Rawb Edz yes it is
Im experiencing crashes after Ive installed the above mentioned Addons. Any ideas why that is so and/or what I can do to fix it ? When it occasionally let me in it looks great. My computer is I7 quad core with 16gb ram and 980M graphic card.. Thanks in advance
But will it run smooth on my pc? I7 6700 and a GTX 1050 TI, and 12 gb ram
It seems to be an internet page.. Notan actual file thatthe profile inspector can read.
Hi thnx for the video, really liked it and in the proces of installing the lot. One but though, the water... i get al these error messages that it cant install/change settings because its missing ´shades´ files in the FSX route map (steam). I already needed to manually point it towards where my route folder was etc. Any idea what that is?
Hi Jordan. How can I get the Aime Leclercq textures that you tell us about in your video. I can't seem to find them anywhere !!!!!!!
+Dameion Molyneaux In the description, you will see the facebook links for her page
Thanks for your help Jordan. Would you believe that my 14 year old daughter figured it out for me !!!!!! God that makes me feel so old 😱 All I've got to figure out now is which files I need to download !!!! As far as I can see all the facebook links you have posted just take me to a facebook main page, I'm just not sure which links I should be downloading. I just want my fsx to look as good as yours, that's not too much to ask is it !!!!! 😊 😊 😊
Hello Jordan, Great help here, but need a bit more with my FSUIPC4 (for FSX-SE). Does not get installed I think, when FSXWX is started I get the message "FSUIPC connection failed". SIMCONNECT gets established. Haven't been able to get through this so I have no weather. But the other stuff with texture improved has really worked wonders.. Will you have some time to give me some advice. Thanks..
It achieved?
HI, I have a question! Did you buy this gaming pc or build it for fsx?
Or just for general gaming?
+TTechnogeeksTT Gameplays and Reviews I built it for general gaming, video encoding, and such. Not for FSX specifically. There are builders such as Jetline systems that build FSX specific computers.
I installed the mods and they work, but my ground textures are really grainy. Is there a way to fix it?
Jordan, your videos are awesome and very informative - thank you.
I have tried going to GeForce to check/update drivers but that doesn't work for my system, nothing compatible. I also downloaded and ran Nvidea Inspector but that also did not work, I guess because I do not have any Nvidea in my system???
So that part of your suggestions did not work for me. Would it still be worth downloading all the others, except the WX engine as I have ASN already?
regards,
Dane
Hi Dane,
To use the nvidia tools, you need an nvidia graphics card. So that is likely why it didnt work. Also, if you have ASN, you can probably do without the freeware weather program.
Jordan,
Avsim.net seems to have been down for awhile. Anyplace else to get the sky and sun files?
***** Thanks!!
Amazing video Jordan, just one question though, as of right at this moment i do not have a nivdia GTX 980 im looking to getting one, but i have a AMD 7770 and i wanted to know the profile settings you changed in the Nivdia Inspector so i might know what to do in the AMD config. Thank you so much for all this it was amazingly nice help in improving my game i cannot wait to play it now, Cheers!
***** thank you so much!!
Thanks for the info! Just wondering, when you download the ground textures (winter, spring, summer, fall) do I have to pick one or do I install all of them?
Good to know! I haven't meddled with FSX in years, so im basically relearning everything with how to improve it haha. Now if I can only dig out some of my old Carenado aircraft from my messy desk area....
***** Also since i'm getting back into FSX, what would be your recommendation for AI traffic? I just want something with a lot of diverse traffic but I dont want to have to purchase flightplans all the time!
I can't find the textures on the FB page. Could you link them please?
No such webbie or link on Google, went on FB and went thru his photos but no link.
Hmm - the ground texture link seems to be broken: sites.google.com/site/aimecreations/ALCreations/download Any update on a new host location? Thanks!
+kinjari I have no idea what happened to their website. Ill try to dig it up somewhere else.
+Jordan King Thanks for all the tips, man. Hope you find those textures so the game can get even better.
+kinjari Thanks! Hopefully can find an alternate link. Aimecreations is still up but the downloads are either moved or gone :/
+kinjari The dev just replied that they moved to a facebook group here: facebook.com/ALeclercqCreations/?fref=nf
hey man i see most videos have working cockpit all buttons what mods they all using
+Danial ADH All of my videos list the addons in the description of them. Most of the planes are payware and feature fully modeled cockpits.
Hi Thanks for this but the links to your Rocks and water do not work is there any new links please.
