Thanking you for letting me know but it is a weird situation in not being able to ask about an Orbx product against a 3rd party about an airport who has been accepted by the community recently. You hear me all RTMM users... Anyway I love Orbx and I have spent a lot more than a grand on their products along the years. I am not complaining as I know I can always accomplish that in other forums. But I have always liked these forums

And speaking about PAKT Orbx just released it for MSFS today Not sure how it olds up against the NSS version; Anyone?

I agree that Orbx airports for p3d are good. But for most of them it isn't just a port and sell approach. Most of their bestsellers are outdated and proper work is required for MSFS to make them an accurate quality product worth selling in 2021. I think also a lot of the original developers are not in Orbx anymore.... In the mean time they are still porting some of their oldies, and have partnered with heaps of studios lately to give us quite a nice list of new scenery for MSFS... And it costs half the price of a p3d scenery, really enjoying that bit about MSFS This is a new platform, Dont expect to see the same developers doing all the same again. Already there are some newcomers, some coming from other sims doing some great stuff even if it isnt sold on Orbxdirect. Some have even made a better scenery than what is available for p3d by Orbx. Ketchikan is an example. (Not bashing on Orbx PAKT at all, the time and technology were different for a complex airport design) Give me a "Bryce Canyon" anyday against a newly developped Ketchikan Enjoy the fun times ahead!

I think for the price it is worth for both an improved mesh and PAJN airport. I own all the other panhandle airports by other 3rd party, and they cost as much each. If you enjoy flying in Alaska it is a straight buy from me.

Some screenies of Juneau airport itself for those wondering what the inclusion of PAJN in Alaska mesh looks like... Featuring pink UFO's or aircraft missing textures, not sure

And the answer is yes. I had just a quick look and it looks like a rebuild. At first glance it is similar that their FSX version with updated textures. Never been to Alaska and I aint familiar with the Juneau airport IRL so I cant say if it is an accurate representation of PAJN in 2021 or merely an updated port. Spotted an Alaskan airline 737 and an Air Canada CRJ at the gates. The water runway and pontoons with static sea planes is there. So are the red GA hangars

@Andrew Hunter-Graham@daan_vb Agree with both of you guys. It is a mystery as to why it is not stated that PAJN is in fact part of the product in the store.... Pretty bad marketing because for an airport + a mesh product the price is quite alright. And it isnt just a small dirt field either, it is the dang state capital airport(and a favourite of mine) The way it is announced in a locked and almost invisible announcement thread, make it sounds like Orbx wanted this to be an easter egg rather than a marketable asset....

Thank you for including Juneau in this product Now hoping for an Orbx PAHO !

I myself have been waiting for KRDD v5. I assume it is not a straight forward port and I have no idea if it will ever comes... Probably would have been converted by now if it wasnt the case.

Sydney cityscape for P3D I think I have been waiting for that since the very first time I started simming. We had a couple of OZX addons for FSX, that would build up the north Sydney area. But unfortunately it does not play well on current P3D. Cant wait to see the full CBD!!!!

double post sorry

Thanks for clarifying We are definitely missing a true representation of the cliffs and coves.

Just purchased And will gladly buy it again if it comes for p3d! In fact it is the one product that I think is still missing for that sim. Not sure if I will get to fly tonight but I'm sure I'll enjoy it when I get some time.

You are seeing the exact same information we are all seeing. But in general when things get announced by Orbx they get released shortly afterwards. Exact dates are never given for good reasons

That is because it has not been released yet. Just announced

We have been waiting and speculating about this for so many years.I was expecting it on P3D and I am quite surprised to see the MSFS version announced Still I have the feeling this will be followed by a P3D version.

Thank you Ken !!!

@Ken HallAmazing! Will definitely buy Does that mean we will never see Tapini for v5?

Its funny because the more I look at it the more I love its look, to a point where I think she is a pretty bird. It did look like a weird one before I bought it. Maybe because it just provides me with so much flight sim joy every time I fly that plane. @musterpilot Loving your screenshots

I wished I could edit my OP to correct some mistakes and add some explanation. probably change the title to something more meaningful... Why cant we edit post we made? should be a mandatory feature imho

If you do not have any entry create it and the installer will then work

yep I know Nick I did create that thread heh heh

A little late replying I was away from FSX for a month or so as Im building my new PC... the old one died... Now Im in the process of reinstalling everything and Ill go steam I think. Thanks for pointing that out to me. When I first found out about the missing stuff in registry and the fix, I found this software from flight1 but never tried it (and was unsure it was doing the same thing, im an FSX newbie).

Hi Mervinh, I am sorry I have some troubles understanding your problem, might be due to the beers I recently drunk heh heh. AnywaysI suggest 2 things. Either start again following my instructions very carefully (use notepad when editing files), or decide to use only one version of FSX (if you use FSXSE solely you might also need to use the registry hack unless dovetail fixed this and yes you will not have the objectflow dlls, nothing you can do about that) On a personal basis, I have been without a flysim computer as my laptop has died (waiting to fix it). Ive started building a new desktop and I am just waiting for a graphic card before I start simming again... Also I am back to the box version until ASN is released for FSXSE (which should be soon!). the HIFI team have stated huge problems of instability trying to get their code to work with the new binaries, they actually had to change a lot of code to get it to work. So I would just be patient and wait for orbx to get the objectflow DLLs to work, it seems it isnt an easy job. Take care

Object flows are binaries that would just cause FSXSE exe to fail to start (or load your sceneries) I believe. Hey no worries
