    Which MSFS version to buy?

    Thanks for your reply.  Why wasn’t the premium worth it?  The only other aircraft I’d be interested in a really good “study level” helicopter which is what I miss in P3D v5.

    I bought it thinking I would use the premium (and deluxe) aircraft like the 787 until PMDG and co came to MSFS, but only used the FBW A320 up to the 737 release, and the handcrafted airports although better than the default airports, don't reach 3rd party level, so don't fly to them. Not complaining, the upgrade is good value for money imo, but only if you make use of the additional aircraft/airports, which I haven't.

    '' I don't think it is coming to Orbx ''

     

    So i will go ahead and buy it from their site !!

     

    It's a shame, I really don't get the thinking in one FT developer wanting to sell through Orbx and the other doesn't...surely as a developer you'd want to sell in as many locations as possible, or you'll miss out on potentially sales - hopefully the hold out dev changes his mind and brings his portfolio to Orbx

    Orbx prices

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm looking at Orbx only products as I don't think partner products are fair to compare, 

     

    I've just compared my first and latest MSFS purchase, it's a very quick and dirty comparison, I've noticed a AUD$4 difference, but it general I would say prices have slightly increased, but, I'm not complaining, there's so many reasons why, for example newer airports like VTSP are brand new, where the earlier MSFS airports were P3D 'ports', so more work are going into them. The MSFS market could have shrunk from initial 2020 days, and probably the biggest reason, the current cost of living. In the UK (and I'm sure everywhere else) the cost of living is rapidly increasing (mainly due to the ongoing war) so I am happy throwing developers a few extra bucks if it means they can put food on the table and pay their bills :)

    P3D 1-3 is defiantly a no-go for devs but the declining commercial side also include v4/5, Orbx are still providing an odd product for P3D 4/5, there's still a couple P3D products on the roadmap for this year, and I think a couple Orbx partners still produce for P3D as well like MK Studios.

     

    I don't work for Orbx (just live in a lot of forums and seeing the same trend). They'll probably be an odd P3D addon here and there, but I wouldn't expect a steady flow of P3D addons anymore

    The commercial addon market for P3D has shrunk in recent years due to MSFS, according to certain devs, it was actually shrinking before MSFS, MSFS just accelerated the issue. So the right product has to be released for P3D now in order to recover at least some developments costs, which is why there's hardly any new P3D products from any developer

    My comment has nothing to do with the lead developer.

    I only said it, as it's a fairly big reason IMO potentially why there's a longer gap in development.

    IMO 2 years is an unreasonable amount of time to complete this project.

     

    Without sounding combative (I'm truly not trying to be) based on what? How do you know what the development takes, what's involved, what challenges may have been faced. Yes you may be right in terms of Orbx's priorities are MSFS, therefore LC Asia hasn't taken priority, but saying it's unreasonable, again, how do you know what this project involves?

    The fact that Orbx is unwilling to provide any details at all about its status is not only a bit bizarre, but also telling.  I question whether it will even come to fruition.

     

    Is it though? There's 2 threads of people asking about KPBI, and other threads about other projects with no Orbx response, why should this project be different, as for it coming to fruition, I hope it does for P3D users, I can't see Orbx not releasing it, especially when it's on the roadmap for a 2022 release (where Anna also reiterated it's a "huge" project)

    I've given up on this.

     

    It's going on almost 2 years now and nothing, not even "phase 1" of supposedly 3 phases.

     

    Sad.

     

    Dave

    Just pointing out, 2 years is nothing, there's airports that take years, flightbeam's NZAA took 5 years and Aerosoft's EBBR was nearly 10 years from start to release. This project is an entire continent (the largest continent at that) and I'd guess Asia is extremely hard to get data for, especially the eastern parts.

     

    Plus the lead developer is currently (and has been for the last 6 months) in a worn torn country. 

     

    Whilst a number of people want LC Asia, patience is needed. All Orbx can be accused off is potentially announcing the product a bit too early.

    Will Orbx offer this baby in MSFS

    I love A2A aircraft, shame I don't have the patience needed for lots of GA flying, but it's made me excited to see that they have accusim working for turboprop and turbojet aircraft. It'll be interesting to see what they can produce in the future, I'd love a A2A King Air or small BizJet like a Phenom or even going a bit bigger like a Challenger 350

    Performance Issues on Takeoff

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Posted

    Hi Landon, 

     

    My internet is running anywhere between 30 and 80 Mbps, I also have my PC ethernet connected to try and keep more stable speeds. My hard drive is relatively empty, 1TB of a 4TB drive, I only use complex airports (payware) from Orbx and Partners/Contrail/Aerosoft. Same for aircraft, mainly flying the Fenix and PMDG 737 at the mo, but noticed it in the MD82, 146 and FBW as well. I might post over on the MS forums as well to see if they have any idea.

     

    Have a great camping trip!

    Performance Issues on Takeoff

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I am getting performance issues of takeoff, loads of stutters, once passing through 1000ft it's back to smooth, inflight, landing and on the ground are all fine, just the takeoff roll, I've noticed coinciding with the takeoff phase, I get the MSFS 'circle' in the bottom right, I am now convinced this is my issue, is it a loading circle? If so what causes it and for it only to happen in this phase of flight, no matter the aircraft or airport?

     

    Thanks

    Joe
