This beauty of an airport was released this morning. I have just done a few touch and goes in the Comanche flying around Anacortes. What an amazing experience, a beautifully realised depiction of the real world airport. @Andreas Hegi you are a genius my friend. PNW is brought to life because of you.

preview EGLC London City v2 preview
AndyWsays replied to Orbx's topic in Orbx Preview Announcements, Screenshots and Videos
I have the original product. I never fly there as it is within a post apocalyptic photogrammetry city. For these reasons I see little point in paying extra. -
TE within X Plane 12 is truly beautiful. I look forward to the day when Orbx make it officially compatible. For now using the various hacks will suffice.

AndyWsays replied to Anna Cicognani's topic in Orbx Company Updates
Good morning Anna, I hope you are well. I am a proud Orbx customer based in South East England and have purchased many of your products both for MSFS and X Plane 11. I now have a copy of X Plane 12, and have used the various methods to use my XPlane 11 true earth products in it, whilst being fully conscious that’s my choice and at present isn’t supported so it’s on me should anything go wrong. As I train for PPL in real life, I have to say X Plane 12 wins hands down in terms of realism (in relation to my own real world experiences), therefore I am all in on X Plane 12. I just wanted to call out that any upgrades of existing XPlane 11 pay ware over to X Plane 12 should come with a cost associated it (perhaps this view might make me unpopular) I can’t wait for my existing Orbx products to be made officially compatible, but don’t expect it from yourselves for free. I want Orbx to invest in X Plane 12, so please make the business case case compelling for yourselves and price accordingly. My wallet is ready :-) -
I must say I do love Orbx’s landmarks series. Always great interesting choices for locations. Although I do love to travel in real life, and have been fortunate to go to some incredible places, there are some locations which realistically I won’t get to in my life time. Maybe Panama Canal is one of those. Orbx landmarks helps to provide a little bit of the magic of these locations and I find myself reading up on them loads so that I can really appreciate the flights I have around the landmarks scenery. Bravo!

The popping is very apparent at 1000 feet+ above. The issue is with the LOD parameters that Matteo used. I know he has acknowledged to fix it so it’s not a matter of contention that the pop in is very obvious. FYI low level flights, in your case a helicopter in my case a Stearman, do not indicate LOD issues but that is because you are so close to the objects. Try flying GA a little higher up and it will become very clear.

answered [LGSK] Skiathos distant objects visible?
AndyWsays replied to Er!k's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Forum
I would also add that the ‘pop in’ of customer objects on the island is very immersion breaking. Flying at 1500 feet around the island is just plagued with buildings appearing and disappearing. Matteo would you mind addressing the LOD issues please. I have ultra everything in settings and 400 terrain distance so it can’t be my settings. -
Thanks Pilotplus for this release. Unfortunately there is an inherent poor performance which appears to lack optimisation. Very laggy when moving camera around. It’s the only airport in my collection that has performance issues. I have a high end machine so that’s not the issue. Would be grateful for continued efforts to optimise performance please. It has loads of potential so hoping can be improved.

I also received CTDs when I take off/land/in proximity of the Skydive runway. I do consider this to be a major bug which requires resolving please, as it has been my airport of preference since purchasing the Dubai landmarks on day one. This bug has become apparent since sU5 only. I have no other Addons in community folder and receive no other CTDs with any other scenarios across SU5. Whilst I appreciate Orbx will not have caused this issue, I would be grateful if Orbx can work on the fix please. At this time I consider the Dubai pack unusable, which is a real shame as it is one of my favourites.

I 100% concur. The Northumberland coastal route won't be the same without all major landmarks along it. The Flight from Newcastle to Edinburgh wont be the same without those mentioned. Please give consideration as Makapala rightly calls out, as these are extremely famous landmarks, and when the new Indiana Jones film eventually comes out, all will understand why ;-)
