I will be purchasing this to round out the collection. Planning on about another good year of P3D and then it's probably on to a more mature MSFS by 2022.
Plus 1...

If we can post pics of airports that Neil Hill did for the PNW region freeware, then yes! As for payware I'll have to look at the Discover map in msfs to jog the ol memory.
I would say: "Yes" - we are still giving advertisements for Orbx products, even if it just the freeware additions to PNW. Plus, we can compare how good this stuff meets reality!

You guys nailed it! I may have to go back up to Washington/Oregon to take a few more pics.
Fantastic real life details, Rob. Do you have some more for us to enjoy or even guess?

I will surely enjoy to repeat my numerous trips to India in part 1. Hope the real life pictures can fit to the sim‘s weather... Then comes the southern Himalaya, and probably this will fill the waiting time to part 2...

Okay, this one is as familiar to me as the last one. How often did I land on this island, just the short hop from Seattle to Vashon Mun...

Got one more for you. PNW but I hope I don't make it too easy.
I'm sure John knows what this one is but here's another hint for everyone that's not sure yet.
That runway looks like Wax Orchards?

Thank you, Wolfgang, for pointing this thread out to us – I was totally unaware of it. The media should do its job and cover this!
Seriously, this is so awesome. I'll take advantage of any of the early releases of parts one and two, for sure. Fantastic times ahead!
It seems that PMDG will release the long anticipated 777-update in December, and the 200ER will come with an EFB for the whole lineup. And now guess... they're gathering data for the 777X!
Finally we have received so good news. Not only regarding the long awaited OLC Asia, but - even more - a fresh development of a pure p3d product.

You may already expect that I am more than happy with this announcement. This is one of the cases where I will be an early adopter.
My biggest interest is part 3, and I can fully understand the challenges that make this part take longer than the others.Thanks for the good news!

Just to set expectations, we plan to announce the roadmap specifically to openLC Asia. There won’t be previews etc. but our plan on it’s rollout over the next 12 months.
That is really good news! Sure I´d like to have it faster, but given the outstanding quality of OLC Africa I can understand that Asia won´t be built in one day. Looking forward to a) the roadmap and b) the release(s)!

Check out FSDG, they have two awesome surprises for us today, and contrary to what is stated on FSElite, both new sceneries are available for Prepar3D!
I have seen that and might be getting quite a lot from them for my next Africa tour...

I needed to buy any upgrade for this airfield, as the default is really bad. And I did so, even though not perfect. A pity indeed that we have to spend money on sceneries inferior to Orbx, but sometimes there is no alternative. Yet?

Outstanding real life pictures coming from you again. Me likes. Keep calm and carry on!

Personally, I'm not going to use MSFS for at least a year to come. I don't even think of switching to P5 and stick with P4.5 HF2 for the time being.
Plus one, I do the same. Okay, not enough eye candy to compete with the nice-looking MSFS. But p3d is a pleasure to fly, and I can post every screenshot here, because it is all Orbx scenery (in contrast to that new sim).

Seeing all these posts (mainly MSFS nowadays) and releases (only MSFS nowadays) I fear that our hopes for keeping alive landclass-based sceneries are dead. Consequently there have not been any announcements in the last (many) months. So we will only see eye-candy of the yet-released MSFS airports here, but no further virtual excursions around the globe. A pity for me.

Whereever these last pictures have been taken, I am so happy this thread is alive again! And I have not seen that beautiful truck painting in my Orbx collection yet...

Now we have nearly kept this thread running over a year. And what a year this has been, with no new travels for many of us since at least 7 months. So I drop in another picture of the "good old times" without that virus. I nearly forgot where I had been here...

Anyone in posession of a nice real life shot?

As the Queen is now disappearing in the hangars, the King becomes more and more beautiful.
The tower to the right end of the picture might be a hint, but I don´t remember...

Maybe it's Cairns? Based on the generous clues.
You have it got, Scott. Good to see my quest was solvable, but not too easy.
Hope someone else can hit the same level?

Then it's Sydney?
Ah, Wolfgang, you forgot: That airport is excellently represented, but the work has been done by someone else, not Orbx...

it is going to take years until we have MSFS on par with our trusted P3D. If they want me to switch, they'll have to offer at least the standard I already have in P3D.
It might not be years, but some time.
In that time I´d continue to invest in (hopefully upgradeable) P3D stuff.
I hesitate on tools and on planes from certain producers. But I would never hesitate to buy the missing OLC link.

Then it must YSCB Canberra ACT.
Cheers Bernie.
Sorry Bernie, I only visited Canbra airport at night.
This one is further north...
Development update on openLC Asia

Nice looking, and finally much more diverse than these regions appeared in the sim before. I am keen to make some "real-life-comparisons" for India, and I think these will be satisfying!
