  1. So sorry for your loss. We have lost many cats over the years. All four that we brought to Oregon 9 years ago are gone. We have two real sweeties now that we got from the local animal shelter.
  2. I encountered a problem with the Orbx Trees. I copied it from the Orbx Library to the P3d6 add on folder. It worked at first, but now P3D6 does not display any trees. This method works for about a dozen Orbx airports I have moved over without a problem. I do have trees that are part of the airport scenery for these airports.
  3. Flying South and adding airports into V6 as I go.
  4. So far I have loaded about a dozen Orbx airports into V6, mostly in Oregon and Northern California. They look better in v6 due to better lighting effects. The only two that are not usable due to big elevation errors are Siletz Bay and Rohnerville. Gradually working my way south.
  5. It ight help if those who have found ways to install Orbx products in v6 would report their results for individual products. I know it could save me some time and maybe Orbx developers also.
  6. Lots of elevation issues at S45 Siletz Bay. With Orbx the airport is down in a chasm, without it houses without foundations on the hillside.
  7. Here we are at KRDD, Redding ,with Orbx trees in P3D6. I have been gradually adding Orbx into P3D6 along with Carenado and A2A aircraft. So far no problems, but I have only scratched the surface. I discovered that if your Orbx products are in the Orbx library you can copy them one at a time directly into P3D6 addons. I am taking it slow so far only Redding, Murray and Orbx trees. It seems to me that the main advantage over P3D5 is lighting. The lighting in v6 can be excellent, but you have to work with it a bit to get the full effect.
  8. If you guys can get the Orbx trees packages over to v6 that would be a great start.
  9. After working with P3D6 all afternoon I can say you can get it looking pretty good out of the box if you fiddle with it enough. Medford, which I fly out of a lot, looks OK, not as good as with Oregon True Earth but at least the streets are not blue. Klamath Falls looks pretty good, maybe because its a National Guard training base and got a little extra attention. If you turn off volumetric clouds the clouds look pretty good with the right lighting and you can get a reasonable balance between the brightness of the the scenery and the brightness of the cockpit via tone mapping. Water on the runways looks pretty good, better that Xplane 12. The worse thing is the trees. They look pretty bad. All in all, I think its better than version 5. Needs Orbx obviously, however.
  10. Now in Central all three of my simulators, P3D5,P3D6, and Xplane 12, all show correctly, but still no products show for P3D6.
  11. I installed P3D6 today. Now Orbx Central recognizes P3D6 but does not show any products available. Also, for some reason Central no longer shows Xplane 12, Don't know why, but it doesn't matter since after installing Xplane 12 and trying it out I did not do anything further with it and never bought any add ons. I don't have MSFS installed.
  12. I am going to install a personal copy of v6 some time in the coming week. I will report back what Central does after that. Also, one of the products I don't have in v5 is EGTB So if it becomes available in v6 I will buy it and see what happens. I bought Xplane12 earlier this year but after trying it decided not to go further with it so never bought any Orbx or other add ons for XP12. It shows up in Central for me and shows the Orbx products I never bought as available, but I guess that's a different situation with setting up v6. I very much appreciate the work you guys are doing to make v6 available and am in no big hurry. Setting up v6 is going to be one of this winter's projects.
  13. So am I. However, there are a bunch of non A2A add ons like Carenado and A2A. I can work on getting those moved over while waiting for Orbx.
  14. I'm going to download the personal version next week and then we'll see. I'm going to put it on a 2tb SSD that I installed for Xplane 12. I loaded Xplane 12 on it but then lost interest in that sim so almost 2tb free. My 2tb C drive, which is an M2 drive has v5.4 and all the Orbx on it so only has a little under 200gb free. Still not sure of the process for enabling all the v5.4 add ons for v6 so being cautious.
  15. So far however none of the products for North America or Oceania show as compatible with v6. Looks like they are starting with Global and Europe.
  16. Yes, and several more products are now also available on v6
  17. I wonder if when P3D6 finally comes up in Orbx Central will getting Orbx scenery into v6 require a new download or will Central just create a link to v6 for the scenery? If the former will have to all go onto a new drive. If the latter then v5 and v6 can all be on my C drive.
  18. I'm wondering if its worth $350.00 for the professional version
  19. I'm guessing the problem maybe that some of the sceneries work fine but others do no so every one of them needs to be tried and fixed if necessary. My plan is to try v6 in October or November when the is no longer conducive to outdoor activity. Maybe by then Orbx will have come up with an official installer.
  20. Tamba, I'm with you. I have every Orbx product for P3D5. I'm waiting for the official installer.
  21. I am trying to decide if I want to spend $350.00 for a Professional license. I understand that the Personal license requires one to be on line while in the sim which I really don't like. What does the on line connection do? Also what is the unzipped file size for the Personal license and the Professional license? I spent some fair amount of time trying to Google the answers to these questions with no luck. Could not even find the answers on the LM p3d official site. Once the question of getting Orbx scenery into v6 is officially resolved it appears that for me there is already enough developer support for the type of flight simming I do so that I can transition from v5 to v6. What I have seen so far on Youtube looks pretty good.
  22. Getting close to the time when I will start doing flight sim again. Glad to see some P3d6 teething problems beiong addressed. Probably will go wiht V6 in early October.
  23. I am following the news and developments but I am inmy summer outdoor hobbies so don't plan on dipping into v6 until the fall.
