Looking forward to this one. I am glad to see Orbx have not forgotten P3D. 👍

Good news that we get Orbx Central v6 support. This was one of the things preventing me from upgrading.

Hi, Am just wondering what Orbx''s plans are for bringing Barcelona Cityscene into P3Dv5? Sadly this is still missing at this time and is only available in P3Dv4 and lower versions. Has anyone tried porting this from a v4 install?

Hi, Does anyone know how Volanta is scanning installed airports? I enabled this feature in Volanta v1.2 and it found 85 airports for P3Dv5.3 but it looks to me as though it can find Orbx airports, but not other 3rd party airports. For example I have Flightbeam NZAA installed via the XML add-on method in a folder external to the main sim and the yellow start that denotes a scanned airport does not show up on the map. Same goes for FB Wellington. Thanks Mark

Looking forward to the Scenery Map updates. I am wondering if the scan of the sims for installed scenery will be able to detect those that are active versus disabled (i.e. in the P3D Scenery library)? There''s a few of us that do selectively enable/disable scenery, so if the scenery map could also detect that status it might be quite useful to end users if you have inadvertently forgotten to re-enable a specific scenery.

Yes that did cross my mind John, but not sure how much development would be common to both sims?

Yes, I have to admit a bit frustrating given Orbx has just released their Himalaya and Central Asia Mesh for MSFS.

Rob, that fx file dates back to the original FSX scenery effects along with fx_obslight2.fx so its not related to Orbx. More info here: https://www.exefiles.com/en/extensions/fx/all-files/alpha/f/page/2/

In the public announcement that the first veriosn is now available for everyone, it states that importing flights from projectFLY and STKP is possible now.

Yes. My objective is to do more flying around the Japanese Islands. So I'll be hanging out for Region 3, although Region 1 could be interesting too. I have some Middle East to India flights lined up.

Same here. Interested to see how MSFS matures but my heart and wallet are with P3D right now.

Great news! Looking forward to openLC Asia.

Thanks Ed! Latest screenshots can be found here:

Hi Ed, Greg Any updates on progress being made with KSJC? Also wondering how much of the surrounding area of the airport will be available? e.g. Guadalupe river, Hwy 101, 880 and Hwy 87, downtown highlights? Really looking forward to this airport. It was one of my old "hangouts" when I lived in the Bay area. Thx and keep up the good work on the airport. Its looking amazing. cheers Mark

Hi Nick, Better today. I just downloaded SAK and did not see any interruptions in the connection this morning. Must have been busy yesterday! regards Mark
