    Orbx Central for P3Dv6?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Airwolf

    Dear Orbx Team,

     

    Can you guys at least get the global products for P3Dv6.  I know it is all about the ROI on the product.  I run a business too, but I will be glad even if you charge for P3Dv6 (P3D is now at v6.1+).  But please do not tell me there has to be "testing done".  I know if you guys charge, then you will have to provide support but I am sure there can be a happy medium where we all can reach and it is beneficial to both parties.

     

    Thanks

    v6 support prepar3d

    Hello,

    this is the official announcement:

    Orbx Central for P3Dv6? - Page 2 - General Discussion - Orbx Community and Support Forums (orbxdirect.com)

     

    There are two unsupported workarounds:

    Registry 'trick' for installing addons in P3D v6 - The Prepar3d Forum - The AVSIM Community

    Prepar3D v6.0 Features and Enhancements - General Discussion - Orbx Community and Support Forums (orbxdirect.com)

     

    Hi,

     

    I hope the official installer method is coming soon (as this is a long wait).  Previously for P3Dv4 or 5 - the installer got the option super fast (If I recall, on same day as release).  I will wait till official installer is out vs the unsupported workaround.

    I can't say about this developer as I have been trying to research them too (I know they didn't have a support forum last time I checked).

     

    I have been leary of lot of new flight sim developers of late.  With MSFS so many new players came, it became hard to figure out on who is good for support.  I still wished Orbx made all the airports and then the support would have been here but that is not the case with other non-Orbx third party companies.  I have been burnt by some new upstart xplane 11 and p3d developers in the past. 

     

    These days, I only buy from the .01 % Top Teir flight sim companies who have been around for more than +5-7 years or more who also provide excellent support.

    Hello,
    I can't answer your first question but in answer to your second question, P3D does indeed have mesh and vector data.
    It could not work without it. 
    Lockheed Martin greatly improved the vector data with P3D v5, so P3D v6 should be at least as good.
    Addon mesh is usually better than the default, especially outside the USA, but Orbx don't do addon mesh outside the
    regional products for P3D.
    Neither Orbx Global Base nor openLC products are vector or mesh, except where the default mesh is really poor, such
    as in some parts of South America and Africa, where through necessity, some mesh has been added to the openLC products.
    I would be very surprised if Global Base and open LC do not continue to be better than P3D default textures. 

     

    Thank you for the excellent response!!! I appreciate it.

    Will do, probably will not be this week as I'm going to be on a mini-vacation, July 13th to 16th.  

     

    Cheers, Rob.

    Rob, let me know if you want me to test anything.  I do know myself around filesystems and what not (I did Unix work, and yes I started PC from the Dos 2.0 era).  About the batch script, thanks though.  Yeah, I am able to migrate P3Dv5 addons inside P3Dv6 (on which work) easily.  I was just trying to see if Orbx is going to push for official v6 support on their app.

    Humble Request for Airports for this Area - PE Network See pics plz

    in General Discussion

    Hi guys,

     

    I dunno what happened to Xplane 11.55 with Vulcan, but OMG OMG the graphics and beyond amazing with TE products.  See what I own Pic 1 but there is only 1 airport for Socal TE and that is the free one L52.  Can I please have all the other airports for this region including untowered and towered.  So many are in P3D socal.

     

    P3D is crap with default G1000 - majority planes do not even support it, and GTN 750 addon can't get upgraded and then local navdata is not being updated anymore as FSAerodata is out of business.  I get latest airac with Xplane 11 G1000 airplanes.

    And can we please get Nevada, Utah, Phoenix, New Mexico, Colardo, idaho, Wyoming, and Montana in TE Form and some more airports.

    And here is P3D

     

    Look at all the airports for this region are in this sim - but it is missing SRM area.  It will be awesome to get PE network in TE style...

    I know this a fun post but I would love to see more Airport products for these regions in Xplane11

     

    I will settle for all airports for ZLA area only - which is Socal TE - 

     

    Thank You so much for showing mind blowing visuals

    I dont really want a lot of other aircraft in the air at this point, as it's a pain having to do go arounds, and I'm not using ATC currently.

     

    I would like to have more traffic parked at the airports as they are a bit like ghost towns, but not have more planes actually in the air.

     

    Do the traffic programs allow you to do this?

     

    Thanks for any help from users who know the answer.

     

    Regards

    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. 

    Thank You Ed.

     

    Finally I will be able to have whole planet Orbx Global (true to its name).  And I can visit countries like India, Singapore etc so much to see on that side of the world.

    What news? We don't know yet what the news will be about!

    I am just hoping openLC Asia is gonna be made - and that would make entire planet on Orbx textures.  We do need Orbx White textures for the North/South Pole though ;) with Santa People Flow in North Pole.  That would be a great touch.
