    Yes excited for what's to come, this is going to get expensive :D

     

    One thing I have noticed is that all the runway light I have seen the centreline lights are all lined up with the centerline markings and Orbx LOWI is also. The Orbx XP version of LOWI has the lights correctly offset from the centre lines like a lot of airports do, so is this a restriction of MFS, is there no way to offset the lights?

    Very true, am not going to comment about that yet as it is a preview but I can see lots of runway lightings, taxiway centreline lighting and taxiway edge lights completely off or placed where it should not be, specially centre line lighting which are for low visibility procedure (LVOP) they should be carefully placed for accuracy of the simulation, same applies for runway lightings and stuff, those kind of stuff must be done with precision and accuracy imo.

     

    This is where XPlanes is superior as the user can adjust them very precisely when it is not done properly by the dev.

    The thing is it's all well and good converting, but you're dropping old design into a modern and good looking sim, it just doesn't sit in the default scenery well. We've come to expect very high quality from Orbx, and for me the issues I've spotted mean that those two products don't live up to that expectation.

    Don't get me wrong, as a alpha/beta tester of MSFS I know I should reserve judgement for the final release products and I'm basing my opinion on pre-releases, but IF these are what is going to market then I'm afraid I'll hold off and wait for better versions.

    Not saying you are wrong, absolutely, but my point is that that is why they are charging very little for those sceneries, maybe very few will refrain from paying that little extra but most will pay with no hesitation until a very hight fidelity one will be available.

     

    Anyway again am ok paying a little fee to get the scenery sooner than have a default for a year or so, this is my opinion.

    I think you have some over expectations.

     

    1-The streamer was on medium settings.

    2-The biggest majority of people will not be happy paying the full price for the scenery they already own in previous sims which obviously not worth rework the sceneries from ground up, which will involve obviously way more time and resources.

     

    I would rather have some old sceneries converted fairly quickly with a bit less of a quality then not having anything for a quite longer period.

     

    Orbx obviously have gone with the most common sense decision that is convenient for the majority.
