How is it going? I can't wait for Asia! A lot of freight routes there.

Thank you, fantastic previews, can't wait!!

Beautiful, I love the Canary Islands. Directly beneath an apron is sure the coolest spot for a multi-storey car park.

Cool. Will it be made available for P3D?

These were my thoughts, too. I made a little poll not so long ago:

Thank you for your comment and welcome to the forums. Since the East Asian region seems to be the most complicated to build, I think it's a very clever move to release the other regions during the process. In other words: releasing region 3 before the other ones would only lead to a longer waiting for all regions as a whole. You only profit from region 3 being the 'icing to the cake'. While I understand that many people are much interested in region 3, keep in mind that there are a lot of people interested in regions 2 and 1. Keep also in mind that it's not only about the region where your destination is located, but also about the regions you have to cross to get there.

This is a map I posted in the poll thread. Credits go to @carlosqr as this repartition was his idea. As you can see, it's not that different from the 'official' map above in the opening post. Could it be a viable option to enlarge the blue part (part 1) for 'Greater Tibet' to have the Himalaya / Tibet region together in one?

Of course I rejoice at the decision to take up OpenLC Asia again and cover the whole world in great landclass. This is truly amazing news in a time where we are announced two new airports for MSFS a week.

The UAE are covered in OpenLC Africa.

Thank you, Wolfgang, for pointing this thread out to us – I was totally unaware of it. The media should do its job and cover this! Seriously, this is so awesome. I'll take advantage of any of the early releases of parts one and two, for sure. Fantastic times ahead! It seems that PMDG will release the long anticipated 777-update in December, and the 200ER will come with an EFB for the whole lineup. And now guess... they're gathering data for the 777X!

It's cool to see that you're finally developing Asia. I'm very content with the roadmap you laid out here, it corresponds a lot to what we "talked about" in the other thread. I find it particularly great that you're splitting the product in three parts and even want to grant discounts on it. Thank you and now go to work.

What does "rollout over the next 12 months" mean? Very curious for the roadmap! My thoughts!

Just as often as I monitored the thread to keep it alive, others were doing the same. It seems there is a lot of genuine interest in a landclass solution for Asia!

Because the graphics above is misleading: As of today, 272 people voted, 406 votes were cast. Each participant cast 1,5 votes on average. 9,6 % of participants voted for an OpenLC 'light' 21,0 % of participants voted for 'Mini OpenLCs' 56,6 % of participants voted for multiple OpenLCs to cover Asia 62,1 % of participants voted for a single OpenLC Asia Thank you all for taking part.

Wonderful news indeed.

What news? We don't know yet what the news will be about!

Thank you, Wolfgang. Let's wait first what Orbx will have to say on the matter before we start the celebration!

Oh wow. What will be the outcome of this? ...

When I was younger and sometimes lovesick, people used to say "other mothers have beautiful daughters, too" I hated it, but it turned out to be the (only) truth.

I agree with you. That's not smart at all, there are more people using P3d than MSFS! And remember that this is a scenery forum with lots of scenery people. None of the big tin guys is going with MSFS so far, they are all sticking with P4 or waiting for P5 to become more stable and to support the PMDG-craft. Personally, I'm not going to use MSFS for at least a year to come. I don't even think of switching to P5 and stick with P4.5 HF2 for the time being. Check out FSDG, they have two awesome surprises for us today, and contrary to what is stated on FSElite, both new sceneries are available for Prepar3D! My next rotation is going to be Comair to St. Helena!! PM me if you're interested in a decent version of St. Helena and Ascension. If only this guy would bring out Jo-burg finally, I'd be happy...

How cool is that?

253 voters / 377 votes. Awesome! Thank you for your support. Exactly. Just yesterday I flew from Addis Ababa to Mogadishu over OpenLC Africa.

Darauf ein Gösser aus'm Sparmarkt. Will it be available for P3D v4?

These pics look stunning indeed. Make you want to drive our even walk through your sim.

Thank you for all the support guys. In the meantime, 248 people cast 370 votes. It seems that the hype is slowly fading away and people are realizing what @dave302 stated: it is going to take years until we have MSFS on par with our trusted P3D. If they want me to switch, they'll have to offer at least the standard I already have in P3D. They'll have reasons not to declare themselves on the matter and I'm not pressing them. Edit: not yet.
