I hope we see 1.1 soon, just had a CTD in MSFS and wish I had the reload feature!

Thanks for the update

Ed, is it possible to get an update on YBBN for MSFS? Unless I completely misunderstood, I believed it was releasing (ish) a month after the P3D version, has something caused it to delay? Thanks

Maor, You have an issue with the scenery and people are trying to help you fix it, it's sounding more and more that unfortunately it's a issue with your sim. Don't worry we all have a product in our fly sim career that doesn't work, I've had a few, nothing we can do, just software isn't always compatible with every setup. What I very much disagree with is you doubling down on the idea Orbx has hidden this issue from you...they haven't...as it's already been said twice, no-one had the issue when testing the product so please explain how Orbx should have informed you of the issue, when no-one had seen the issue before you and one other person raised it

Idontknow123 - Read the replies to your OP, as John Dow says, the scenery would NOT have been released had the issue been noticed in testing, and obviously isn't a massive issue as only 2 people have raised the concern...and I guarantee more than 2 people have bought the airport. The airport is not a 'state' due to this issue, and is still very usable, again they didn't know there was a bug as it didn't appear in testing. It may be your choice to think twice about buying from Orbx again but that's a mistake as Orbx are one if not the best in the business. Like Nick said have a little patience and a fix will be released soon, which is more than other developers who'd just wait and hope Asobo fixes the issue as it's a SIM issue not an Orbx issue

Yes! Probably the airport I've flown out of the most, would love a great rendition of EGNX

You can never go wrong with Orbx and PMDG Great pictures!

Looks good! It's great skydive Dubai is included, perfect for the Twin Otter when that releases

Amazing shot's Adam, I really like the 6th and 7th shots

Wow! Your other airports are amazing and this looks no different, the detail is outstanding, I can't wait to pick this up

I defiantly agree it makes sense to upgrade areas used the most or the data is easily available (like Western Europe), as for being bored, probably not the best choice of words by me, I mean just like airports it be nice to see more variety (yes I know airports are done based of what will sell the best amongst other reasons), personally I'd like to fly more in AU/NZ or the Caribbean, and hope a fairly popular area like AU/NZ isn't left till 2022/23 while they do the Eastern European bloc, which going of VATSIM isn't that popular or needed as much, but yes you can't grumble at the free world updates, especially the payware-esk work coming from Gaya. As for the other upgraded airports I can't comment on them as I only use payware airports/or the WU gaya airports

I really hope WU7 will cover AU and NZ, I'm getting bored of WU's being Europe (bar the first 2 being Japan and USA) and hope to see more of world (although I bet getting the right data is very hard for Africa/South America/Asia etc)

I really love the Orbx stuff for AU, it's just a shame I can't really use them currently as there's due to the lack of (but soon coming) aircraft in MSFS. I believe YBBN is in the pipeline, I was under the impression we may have seen it March/April but seems to be delayed, I hope in time the entire Orbx AU catalogue will land in MSFS. There's Pushback express by FS2Crew and a few freeware ones, but FSDT are currently developing GSX, although I see it being another few months based on their forums.

Thanks Pete for the extra information. I’ve been waiting for DX12 to come to MSFS, and hopefully aid performance , sometimes you don’t realise how much difference an extra 5 FPS helps especially when we’ll be running PMDG Aircraft at high detail airports

I did have to double look , can't wait for more aircraft to explore the MSFS world

I'm not well educated on the history surrounding "Ayer's Rock" but doing quick research, the airport still seems to be known as Ayers Rock but also Connellan airport and Qantas still refers to it as the former. Maybe rename it to Ayers Rock/Uluru if anything as this would reflect real life

Sorry! I'll refrain from making further comment, I don't like MSFS vs P3D vs XPL debates, just wanted to explain why I can't see P3D "catching up"

Are you physic? Yes currently MSFS is a entertainment sim for the average user, where as P3D was never and will never be this, however P3D is meant for commercial uses only and we should be lucky LM begrudgingly let the average Joe use it (and wrongly, the amount the people that bought the academic licence instead of professional) It's currently being worked on, that being said there's not one sim that has a perfect flight model that is in the average persons budget, also slight flight model imperfections doesn't make the sim "procedurally unrealistic" I can't find the article but another knowledgeable person can chip in regarding the nature of the ESP between MS and LM, regardless of who owns what when it comes to P3D, it's unlikely LM will go down the path of MSFS because a) I believe MS can have a say it what LM can do or not do to P3D, and b) the sim is for commercial use only really. So for commercial users, is live-streamed data for the world what they actually need? Also on a side note, there's people believing that yesterdays P3D V5.2 release could be the final version of P3D. (and these are hardcore P3D'ers) Going back to your OP, and as Nick says, photo/sat data is possible but highly unlikely in P3D to the level of MSFS. Yes some data is free but the quality of it isn't great, therefore payware is realistically the only way, and I for one can't see that. I used P3D for almost a decade between FSX and MSFS so I like the sim, but if you look at the state of the current sim world, it's unlikely P3D will 'catch up' with MSFS from either LM or 3rd Party input, the reason for the second is because of the dying market for 3rd party addons in P3D, (which is why you see 85% of new releases are MSFS, 10% XPL, 5% P3D). I'm not trying to make P3D (or obsolete) because they're not, people still use FSX and FS9 to this day, but I think (and I visit a lot of devs website in the flight sim world and see what they are saying) people should temper their expectations when it comes to P3D, I just can't see and major developments to have P3D catch up, and whether people like it or not, MSFS is looking like the way forward for an entertainment sim

Looks amazing, MSFS has given more reasons to fly outside of the normal Europe/NA sectors, I can't wait to pick this up

As Nick says TE is P3D/X-Planes equivalent of Bing for MSFS (although IMO TE Still doesn't manage to equal default MSFS) but the issue is I personally can't see it being financially sound for Orbx to expand massively into TE much more, I get some people want to stick with other sims but I feel more people will more to MSFS when we see the more complex aircraft like PMDG later this month and year, thus shrinking the already shrinking P3D/X-Plane market. I feel the only real way for P3D/XPL to 'keep up' with MSFS is to implement the sat data is the base sim like MSFS does but in P3Ds case I can't see it happening as it's a commercial sim and MS still controls the rights, so again it probably won't happen. Btw MSFS is a sim that's already "procedurally realistic" not sure how you determined it's not

Could be wrong, but posts like these are normally a couple weeks from launch. We just need FACT by Orbx now

Interesting, I'm guessing unless it states the sim, the feature works with all sims? To restart CTD flights may be worth premium alone, so many lost flights because of it. Also the aircraft persistence works with any aircraft in P3D/XPL/MSFS? Sounds similar to GFO

You make a good point. I guess I’m a person who isn’t bothered with things like this autogen issue, but then I understand people like yourself who wants a near as perfect product. Hopefully Matteo can find a solution sooner rather then later.

Ah, I must have purchased KBUR after the issue was rectified. I knew from previous experiences that sometimes addon conflicts are a thing and it’s not always obvious what it is for example a airport in Europe could affect an Australian cityscape. I get what you mean, everyone’s opinions of addons vary, I have spend most of my life on flight sims and remember back in FS9/FSX days where an airport would just be the airport and it would only be 10% of the quality we have now, now we get very high quality with interiors and the surroundings which is great, so for me personally this issue is negligible (I can’t even say I’ve noticed it) when you compare it to what we had 1-2 decades ago. (Also a mute point, but just an FYI, the quote you replied to was me responding to the other Steve in the thread, not that it’s important but he said KBUR is a non-working product)

Incorrect, we have a fully functional airport, so the objective of the product is met Opinion will differ but from my point, we don’t. It be nice to know what’s happening with the issue but we are not owed it, we bought the product and if we are not happy with it then we can ask for a refund if it’s in line with Orbx’s refund policy We should be the few people on this thread. I’m sure thousands of copies have been sold and only a few are complaining. Thus you are incorrect speaking about the majority Are you sure it’s not a user end issue? My FPS is in the 30s, software reacts differently on different setups, for example you *could* have another addon interfering with Burbank
