Great shots, Gerold. I envy you going to Singapore. I had planned to do this again in January, but for the time being, I have cancelled all my trips to Asia and beyond. Maybe in 2023 after the 7th Corona wave...

John, is it just me or does the texture of the door in your second shot looks different to the rest of the fuselage. I had this plane in P3D and I don't recall it looked like this in that sim.

Nice captures of a great old bird, T. Somehow I got the feeling that those FSX planes and their VCs look much better in MSFS than in FSX, even without any further fine-tuning.

Absolutely superb, buddy!!

Many thanks, Gerold. I knew you would like them
And of course you are correct re the people, even the noise, pigeons, even cows etc are part of the unique Indian experience. The only thing I can easily do without are stomach cramps from some of the dinners I had there, even in good restaurants.

Having been to Mumbai so many times, this scenery was an instant buy for me. I only hope that the developers will one day also add Dehli, because this part of the world desperately needs more quality coverage.
Like in the good old days, I arrived at my destination by boat. But of course I did not expect to get the royal welcome treatment
Instead nobody bothered, which was fine of course
My preferred stay in Mumbai was the Taj, and if possible a room in the old wing. It gives you the feeling that the days of the Raj are back. Maybe Gerold, who must have been to Mumbai as often as me, likes this hotel too
The view from the hotel’s roof is quite nice
The swimming pool looks a bit better in reality, but that's alright
Of course the adjacent newer hotel complex offers from its top an even better view
An Indian business associate of mine invited me one day for lunch at the Royal Bombay Yacht Club (they never changed the name to Mumbai Yacht Club and dress code is still today strictly observed). But before we went there, he showed me a photo, quite similar to this one and asked me, which of these two buildings would I think to be the Yacht Club. I have been to the Karachi Yacht Club for lunch, so I pointed to the right building, as it looked very similar. Of course I was wrong, it is the red building to the left. The right one in this case is a hospital. A bit of trivia: when you enter the Yacht Club, it gives you the impression that the British Raj has actually never left India.
The beauty of virtual travel is that you have the place you visit all to yourself. No pigeons, no vendors, no huge crowds and no one tries to steel your wallet
Thanks for viewing

I would hope the NZ freeware developers will be working on fixes shortly.
I very much hope so too, John. If they are willing to invest in the Orbx scenery, otherwise...

First of all, this is terrific news. But, and this is a big but for me: like Chris aka AnkH, I have many NZ freeware airports from the Tonga site. If they now become incompatible with this product, I don't see a point in buying it. For me this means, I will wait with the purchase until I know, what is going to happen in this respect.

So Asobo knew they did not have to bother about a Harbour Bridge.
When we were alpha testing MSFS, we of course noticed that the bridge was missing, which was somewhat odd, as the Opera House was well modeled. We never got an answer from the development team, until someone from Sydney speculated that the city government had managed to have the bridge patent protected. No idea, whether this is true, but if it would be true, Asobo/MS would have to ask the city government for permission to model it into the sim, hence they didn't bother.
On the other hand, if the Harbour Bridge is protected, the iconic Opera House must be patent protected too, but this one looks great in default. Oh well, just speculating. It's not really important anymore, I guess

I don't fly P3D anymore myself and there is so much to do for MSFS.
Excellent work on this one, Ken!! Looking very much forward to buy it.
Will you and Tim have a chance to develop your fantastic PNG airstrips for MSFS? I know quite a few people (myself included), for whom this would be like Xmas and Eastern together

Best news since I threw up my lunch
This will be an instant buy for me!! I only hope that Frank and the talented Orbx team have also people with less than monstrous PC hardware in mind, so we can handle all these details without having to live with a slide show, when we fly over Sydney

A single customer looking for a discount, so?? May I quote myself:

remember the figure, it was 2000 customers. Let's say 600 if we split Asia into three reasonable parts. A quarter of these expressed their commitment to buy an OLC part of Asia. I think that's more than it looks like if we take into account that not all customers visit the forums and express their opinion there.
You could be right, problem is we don't know. Only Orbx knows, whether OLC SA and Africa made them any money. Maybe you should take it up directly with management, so we get a definite answer on whether they will develop OLC Asia or at least the part of it, that is the more interesting one.

We do not know on which base the development decisions are based. What we do know is that some people are not only interested to buy olc Asia, but even vote and comment here!
That's fine, but I assume that you must be aware that you are betting here on a dead horse and that OLC Asia is never going to happen, as it will be commercial nonsense based on what we know for a couple of months now regarding MSFS

Let's assume Orbx (or someone else) would make three OLC products for the area for P3D for EUR 30 each, these would generate EUR 12.690 just by the people who have a forum account and visit here often enough and who care enough to take part in such a poll.
You remember the $/€ figure JV once quoted?

Excellent stuff, that mesh really changed the Himalayas to the better
