Well, the question is: Is this an airport (Orbx) issue ir an ATC (Asobo) issue? I tend to think it's the latter.

@Erik Yeah, that's what I was referring to in my post in the Split thread. These issues at LOWI have been discussed in the following thread. For me all works fine if I do what I discribed in my post third to last. For others it does not.

You are welcome.

Landon, my post was not aiming at you or all the others who clearly stated their sentiments and/or said what they do not like about the newer Orbx products. I was only asking the few posters who are saying Orbx does not provide the same high quality any more like it did a few years ago but do not state why they do not like the new Orbx products. Since I absolutely dislike the fact that complaining about everything and anything becomes more and more popular nowadays, my wording was probably a bit too harsh. I do appologize for this. And BTW, Happy Birthday Landon!

@Aussieflyer38 @wain71 Hi Don and Wayne, I haven't watched the video by squirrel, so maybe you already know the following. Steering the plane while in drone mode is actually quite simple. 1. Assign a key/button to "Toggle Plane Controls". I think it is the "c" key by default. This is inconvenient though, because also the com radios are pinned to "c" 2. Now whenever you "Toggle Plane Controls" you can steer the aircraft while in drone mode, but you cannot move the drone camera then. For positioning the drone camera you have to "Toggle Plane Controls" again. The "Toggle Plane Controls" command works also when in flying mode inside the cockpit. 3. Unfortunatly there is no way of moving/positioning the drone camera and steering the aircraft simultaneously. So what I usually do is: 1. I "Toggle Drone Mode" 2. Position the drone (a perfectly trimmed plane can fly a few seconds whitout control input) 3. Then I "Toggle Plane Controls" so I can steer the aicraft while in drone mode 5. I "Toggle Plane Controls" back and forth when I want to reposition the drone 4. I "Toggle Drone Mode" again, when I want to go back into the cockpit I hope this helps. It sounds much more complicated than it is. Edit: whith TrackIR you can change the camera direction and even the its position a bit when steering in drone mode. Edit 2: I do not use an Xbox controller for steering the drone but Keyboard commands.

Yes, I am curious too. Are these perhaps scanned old photographs?

Lots of work...

The "size on disk" is slightly different though. 6.887.133.696 bytes vs 6.887.109.120 bytes.

Oops, posted in the wrong thread. @Nick Cooper or one of the other admins, could you please move my above post to Thank you.

Could those of you, who are moaning, that the quality of Orbx products has got worse lately, please explain what kinda shortcomings the new Orbx products have? There is mostly just general nagging but no concrete description of what you are missing in these late releases. Thank you. Edit: I am not talking about the Throwback Thursday line if products.

Me too. First I thought these are screenshots, because I did not see any people on the shots which is very unusual for a real life seafront location. Then I spotted the people in the sea and on the beach to the left of the third shot - and they are definitely real or borrowed from Pilot Plus.

These are real world pics.

Since XP users are used to the generally not very impressive looking default XP scenery and many of them are using Ortho4XP, a cropped version of Bromma might not be a big problem for them.

Are you guys in Developers Mode?

You made some interesting points regarding parking in general. There are some other threads here about parking and available - or let's say not available - ground services at other airports, e.g. LOWI, and no one of us could figure out so far what defines ATC commands and available services.

It is an absolute No Go to talk about other developer's products here in the Orbx forums.

Oh yes, I remember the good old Orbx days when PNW was released as first region outside of Australia and after this we had to wait many, many months until the first Orbx stand alone airport for PNW had been released, one of the masterpieces of Andreas and Heiko. I can't remember, if it was either Darrington or Concrete. And then, again many months later, the other airport, Concrete or Darrington was released. So litterally it was one region and two airports which had been released by Orbx within about one year's periode then. I am not sure if I like to have those "happy" days again. This said, we all were exited about Neil Hill's superbly enhanced airports, which have been included in the regions and enjoyed them very much. These enhanced airports have been good enough for us for a long, long time, but now we are complaining about 5 $ Thursday Throwback products, which even have a much higher standard than the enhanced airports had. And yes, like @BradB I do not buy as many airports any more like I did before MSFS. But this is not due to Orbx quality, but only, because I now fly the whole world with MSFS, literally every day in another area of the world, where I have not flown before. So why buying an airport, which I will use only once or twice, because the next day I will fly in another part of the world?

What would you have expected for US$6.59 | €5,60 | £4.81 | AU$9.09? Come on guys, you are comparing these kinda products with € 35 airports.

Yes, as Matt and Scott said, go for rudder pedals. You won't regret it.

@daan_vb @OY-RCC Do you receive a DME signal with the default ENAL?

To be clear, with "lack of communication" I did not think of @Nick Cooper, @Jon Clarke, @Doug Sawatzky and all the other admins, as they do a fabulous job. It sometimes looks like they also won't get answers from the "official" Orbx.

Orbx has not promised to fix it. But @Marfarkar is not moaning about this. He is just disappointed that he got nil answer on his request, if the helipads will be made landable or not. He was only waiting for a simple "yes" or a "no". Unfortunately this kind of lack of communication seems to become more and more common with Orbx.

Yesterday, Aug 24 2021, Charlie Watts, drummer of The Rolling Stones, died at the age of 80.

It is also funny, that this release annoncement does not show up within the Release Announcement Forum. You can only get to it via the last posted topic link. @Ed Correia

@daan_vb Are you sure that ENAL is equipped wit an ILS DME in the real world? I have extensivly searched the Internet for info about an ILS DME at the real ENAL but have only found info about an ILS but not about a DME. That there is a DME according to Navigraph, doesn't mean that there is one in the real world.
