announcement What we are working on - 2022

Great to hear about GB North. Please can you ensure that all of the major landmarks between Newcastle and the Scottish Border.. including Berwick upon Tweed and Bamburgh Castle are included and not fall between the joins of the existing "Central" product. -

How can you include Darlington Stadium and not include St James Park? You can even see the Sunderland stadium in the distance.. but specifically no Newcastle Utd - the stadium dominates the skyline. Here just a bing photo. -

I live in Northumberland, and I work on the railway.. also my wife worked for Northumberland Tourism and I have NEVER heard of Callaly Castle. I could list a dozen or more amazing castles near Newcastle and Callaly Castle isn't one. -

I raised this in the Spring. Ticket's still open. One at a time doesnt work for me. Having to purchase via the website only using cc. After I do this, my files still appear in Orbx Direct -
Prudhoe Castle and Currock Hill Glider Club would have been good additions. Glad to see Darlo Arena there - a key VRP for Teesside Airport. Also I hope Raby Castle is in there because it's one of the best and most popular landmarks nearby for leisure flights. I've also never heard of Callaly Castle however the main castles on the Northumberland Coast are: Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Warkworth.. All amazing. And it's spelt Coquet Island, not Coguet

I really hope that this includes some landmarks for Newcastle because FS2020 is PANTS for that.. not even the Tyne Bridge or Millenium Bridge and Sage! David, Newcastle

OK - I know some of us are really struggling with the mother of all stuttering on V5 - THERE IS A POSSIBLE FIX and it's on the Prepar3d forum. It's not necessarily the True Earth demands.. there's a "glitch" in the new software - it's not cpu or gpu related... which is why I'm mentioning it on the Orbx forums. You should try right clicking on the Prepar3d icon, go into properties and tick the "disable fullscreen optimisations" box. Set the gpu to 30fps, unlimited in the application and restart everything. Made a huge difference for me after days of 1fps cool cpu, cool gpu hell around dense Orbx scenery areas.

I used to drive trains over the Forth Bridge, near Edinburgh. The embankment for that line is higher than the runway. They say that a plane once scraped its wheels on a train as it landed from the east. Always bugs me that nobody has rolled out AI railways for P3D yet
