I just downloaded True Earth Florida while on sale. It looks a lot better than default so far. I did my first inspection out of KDAB, Daytona Beach. Reason was because right next to DAB is a rather famous landmark, a palace of speed I have been to. Daytona Internation Speedway. It is there although the scenery could have been a bit more deeply detailed instead of a curved block building for the stands. It looks from screening that more was put into Disney World area but at least the footprint is correct. All in all good for FSX/P3D architecture.

I love the Orbx packages so far. The scenery especially here in my region, the Susquehanna Valley in Pennsylvania USA is very recognizable to one from here. Even the street grids and footprints of the numerous small towns among these mountains and ridges is a close approximation over default. One thing could be better though. The tree species dispersion. I have noticed that conifers are grouped together in distinct stands and deciduous trees are grouped in distinct stands. That isn't natural here in the Appalachian forest country. Both types are intermixed a lot more thoroughly. Is it possible to make it so in autogen at some point? Or, would Terra Flora mix that up better? Thanks.

I asked this question in a different page. 10 views, no answers. I hope maybe to get an answer in this page because I have a request and can submit coordinates, elevation and photos for a local GA field that is actually well know in US Northeast. Are new airports still being done and added to the freeware package? They all look good, the ones I visited here in Pennsylvania. Thanks

I hope so to with all their stuff Right now, I would just be very happy to figure out the right Garmin Trainer/atioglxx.dll/Kernal32.dll combo to keep RXP GTN from crashing my new 4.5. No trouble from nvidia systems. I'm considering a change.

Just go to the freeware section of Lorby's website and download Lorby addon organizer and the instruction PDF. You would have to create a standard folder to install your scenery into which would have two subfolders, Scenery, and Texture. In the Lorby Addon Organizer under the scenery function you would need to navigate to that scenery folder, and select all subfolders. Click add in Lorby and then at the bottom click save. Lorby will automatically convert it to an XML entry and it should show up in P3D 4/5. But do read the PDF also. I just gave you a light description.

I currently have my Orbx products installed directly into my P3Dv4 directory on my 2TB Drive D. However, my FSX-SE is on my 240gb drive C and I would like to Orbx FSX-SE but have limited space. Is there anyway I could have Orbx installed on Drive D and configure FSX on Drive C to use them? Thanks

Can't you just unzip to a file and use Lorby to convert to XML? Works with most FSX Sceneries

I would but have unresolvable difficulties with Live. Also, flight modeling and procedure are important to me and between P3D and Xplane there is plenty of both. MSFS will likely not recieve any academic or training endorsement in the States by virtue of being marketed as entertainment.

Strangely enough, the actual footprints and street grids of the towns locally here are very close to correct under Open LC NA. And my local area is rather rural with a constellation of small towns from a few hundred to two-thousand inhabitants. The somewhat larger towns are even more accurate in terms of footprint and street grid. Of course, individual buildings are not quite there but that isn't real noticeable from altitude. I know in larger places like NYC, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, etc. there are more accurate depictions of real buildings. But Sat data should see where a bridge is or not.

Correct you are. Quite a few Essex's surviving. They were a very useful design. Shame, something that size but updated would be very effective with F35c's

So, that does not resemble the town I know all my life. I was just wondering if there is a bridge over the Susquehanna river at that location. If one takes off from KCXY near Harrisburg, PA and follows the river north about 25 nautical miles one would be over the location in question. I gave the coordinates off the Google maps. I wonder if there is a coordinate variance between the software and real world. Thanks

The location in question of the non- existant bridge is 40⁰32⁰30⁰ N 76⁰57⁰26⁰ W It is across the Susquehanna River at a little town called Millersburg, PA. There has never been a bridge there at all. There is a seasonal Ferry which is the last wooden stern wheel ferry in the US. That would make nice marine traffic, ain't? Anyway MS default and UTX, both US Based have gotten that bridge in the scenery for years but there is no bridge nor ever has been IRL. Can you see if it's there under Vector? If not I will switch seeing as it's more accurate. Thanks

I use UTX for mesh and vector data (sorry). However, I could switch if vector corrects a lot of the default errors.

I noticed in my local area there is still a bridge that doesn't exist which is long a carryover from old FS9 scenery base. If I give coordinates and local would it be possible to edit this bridge out in future OpenLC NA update? Thanks
