    ... Also, that tram you mentioned TTM is even animated and runs across the whole final approach -> up on a bridge behind the east hangar area -> down again and parks on the other side of the fence at the terminal :)

     

     

    That is very cool! Thanks for taking the extra time to put in the light rail/tram animation.  The carriage/tram itself looks great!

    Concerned About Direction Orbx is Heading

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Let's see, the topic is Concerned About Direction Orbx is Heading.  I, for one, am not concerned about Orbx's direction.  I was, at first, when Orbx started growing their list of 3rd party partners.  After buying almost all Orbx in-house developed products I was concerned about Orbx's future quality, support, etc.  I imagine working with more 3rd parties was a tough decision for Orbx too! 

     

    However, I find that I am pretty happy and look forward to a continuing future with Orbx.  Microsoft Flight Simulator has only been out for a year but I already have over 30 scenery products purchased from Orbx Direct.  I like them all.  Sure some of them are not built in-house, but I know that Orbx has done their quality due diligence on the 3rd parties that they have partnered with, I have purchased them all using Orbx Direct, the 3rd party products are installed via Orbx Central (which is a great tool) and my updates, as required, have come through automatically.

     

    I just checked and it looks to me like Orbx has over a 100 scenery (airport and landmark) products available right now for Micrsoft Flight Simulator including 3rd party products.   That is pretty impressive when dealing with a new/complex simulator that has only been out for 1 year with an incomplete SDK featuring updates every few months that might break a developer's existing scenery's operation .   

     

    And now I am able to get some of my favorite P3D Orbx sceneries for Microsoft Flight Simulator like 1WA6 at almost no cost ($3.21) due to Orbx's Throwback Classic program.  Yes, the product description should probably be clearer about the content being a simple port of the P3D version and when I click on the OrbxDirect ad for Throwback Thursday it only shows me the latest throwback product even though I would prefer it show me all the Throwback products since I may have missed a Thursday or two.... but that is a minor nit that could be easily changed.

     

    Looking ahead, the upcoming Orbx product I am currently following is Stockholm Bromma airport.  The many pics posted by the Orbx in-house developer, Marcus Nyberg, are demonstrating to me that this will be another fine, high-quality, Orbx in-house product.  Now I have to go check out Pilot Plus's EGGD Bristol International Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator which is now out and looks to be another high-quality airport easily available to me thanks to Orbx's 3rd party partnering program.  So, as I said at the beginning, I am not concerned about Orbx's direction and the future looks bright...but that's me.

    Brisbane airport would have been great too.

    This is a beauty but so far, MSFS is so poor on airports.

    I hope this will be fixed.

    For instance, i bought Sydney landmarks because of YSSY airport.

    But you know that for shure

    Introducing TrueEarth US Southern California for P3Dv4+

    in Orbx Preview Announcements, Screenshots and Videos

    Posted · Edited by stiletto2

    @Sascha Normann     Thanks to Orbx, you and your team for doing a fantastic job on getting the TrueEarth sceneries for P3Dv4+ caught up with X-Plane 11 at least in North America and Great Britain.   I have them all.  The Balearic Islands were just released for X-Plane 11 on August 11th so you are pretty much on target.   I think TE Southern Cal for P3Dv4+ is the best yet.  Just flew around LA and loved it!  Great job!
