Really pleased that there will be animated trains to a degree. This sort of
thing that adds to the emersion of the simulator, and also the balloons
making use of all that Aussie hot air. Well done team.

I notice there is a further update to MSFS today. Not been able to try it out yet, does anyone know if it’s fixed the mesh issues?
No it has not and Queenstown along with the rest of New Zealand and a great deal of the
rest of the world is still a pigs ear.
As has been said before, a lot of areas that have had mesh enhancement are effected.
Best to have a beer and do something else for a hobby for a week or two, err, or three+?

Should just about scrape home Cath.
The mistake most seem to make is to crank everything
up to Ultra and expect it to all run as smooth as silk.
You no doubt be able to run all high settings and then if
you must, go ultra one step at a time. Some ultra settings
do very little to improve things but at a performance hit.
I am sure you will work it all out to suit your new rig just fine.
Now go spend.

Have you checked for updates via your a/c in the Microsoft store and
your library. The update to the core standard MSFS is there and I usually
update it from there first and then let the ( cough ) game update the rest
when it starts. Usually and update in the store that has been interrupted
can be restarted from where you left off. I do not recommend doing a system
restore when the rest of your system is fine. But what would I Know?

Yes it really is a nice piece of work by the team.
Went through in 1967 and stopped off at Panama City
for a late afternoon early evening few hours. Walking around with
very tender feet. the ships deck was so hot I got cooked through my
Jandels, err thongs or what ever you like to call them. The city is sure
a different beast to when I was there. I have been to many countries around
the world but it is the only time I have felt really scared. I'm sure that is
not a problem today and it was an experience overall that I was fortunate to have.

First class as always. It would sadden me though if as per screen shots that
there was only the one mule working and not in the repair shop.
Also there appears to be a dock strike because there is a distinct lack of
workers. C'mon chaps hu'mour me please.

Opened Orbx Central and an update for YSSY Fly Tampa to version 5 installed.
Have flown from Bankstown and around Sydney and landed at YSSY and every thing
went and looked superb. I believe there may be an update for Cityscape Sydney on it's
way at some point in the not too distant future, but I could not find anything wrong as
far as my old eyes could see. This scenery in my opinion is still the best scenery that Orbx
have produced in the 20+ years that I have been dipping my foot into the pond.
Kevin.
ps. I do have the photgrametry or whatever enabled as well.

What a way to start the new year. Was just awful with a broken TrackIR.
Don't forget to go into your profile manager ( or whatever they call it )
there are updates for the premium and deluxe versions if you have them.
The pushback staff are still drunk, but being Christmas, and new year celebrations
I expected that.

Not familiar with the said Honeycombe, but just a thought when you
say that the mixture has a mind of it's own. After the last update & downdate
the AI assist all reset to easy. Even if you set them all back again it would
seem to be prudent to recheck after any install or update of anything to recheck
that it hasn't done so again. I kidd you not. Hope you get it sorted okay.

Some of the promotional shots of the latest airports have been so far out
of focus that I have opted not to purchase them until such time as I can
see them. Also I do very little flying at midnight.
This has only become a major problem recently and I have no beef with
the other 85 MSFS sceneries I have purchased through Orbx central.

No, it'll have covid restrictions, you'll have to wait 72 hours after you start the sim before you can go flying over the scenery.
And if you are not double vaccinated and fly under the harbour bridge you will be in deep doo doo

And here's me thinking that it captures the unpredictable behavior of
the Auckland drivers rather well, don't you think?

It sure is seat of the pants stuff in an A320.
I had a blast above Queenstown in a Pitts special back
in the day. Now that was something to get the heart rate up.
20 minutes full on aerobatics. The pilot kept asking me if I was
okay and I just kept saying just throw everything at it.
That was at least 15 years ago and I still can't get the grin off my face.

Another leap in the right direction for Orbx. Marcus has shown that
he will be more than capable of further upping the game of the team.
Marcus, I wish you the success you deserve.

Hi Guys. At the moment I have MSFS on a 2tb hard drive with space to spare. I will be getting a bigger hard drive later. My question is if I bought all the Airport and Aircraft plus the all the scenery that’s available what size hard drive would I need. Thanks Derek.
Well it's a matter of how long your piece of string is. Are you meaning Orbx scenery & Aircraft or all that is available?
As a starting point I can only tell you what I have to give you some idea. I have ( 78 ) scenery's plus ( 3 ) aircraft for
MSFS all purchased from Orbx & partners and installed on a 1tb m.2 drive in an Orbx library that is pointed to another
1tb drive that contains MSFS. and has so far eaten up 165GB. The drive with the Orbx library is 212GB. so total of 377GB
at this point in time. I don't know about you but I think that I will run out of money before drive space.
Hope this gives you some idea, but I suspect that you have a pretty good idea already.

Oh Man! What have I done wrong now?
Well I mean, how could you with such a knowledge of Auckland miss the Bean Rock lighthouse.
Please inform me the next time you are going fishing and I will steer clear of you just in case.

Well Terry I think you need to stand in the naughty corner over this one.
A few beers for the Orbx team wouldn't go amiss either

Not sure if this has been covered or if its me (more than likely) I just purchased Elstree and thought I would have a quick go. Using the Bonanza got clearance to taxi and hold for runway 26. All is well until I get to the hold point. I stop, wait for clearance but then I'm stuck, the plane just will not go any further???? anyone??
Hi Paul, I have just tried to replicate the problem using the g1000 172 and can't get any problems.
Are you sure you are at Elstree EGTR I ask because you say you stopped to await clearance.
There is no traffic control at Elstree and you can just radio your intentions.
You could try a different aircraft, make sure the park brake is not mapped to another binding.
I see nothing incorrect with the scenery at my end.
Hope you get things sorted one way or another. With MSFS a lot has to do with how you hold your mouth

Hope you like it Kevin. Have you seen the guys in orange jumpers on the tower yet?
Hi Rob, only done one flight to check it out as yet and not checked to see what the surprises
might be. If that is one of them then that is dead cool. Or it could be if the rope broke

Wham!! boy did that come out of left field. Another investment coming up.
Only problem I have is that each time I go to the Orbx store I end up spending
a lot more than I should. Oh well ya have to suffer a little to get the best eh?

Thankyou Orbx, NZ mesh
in General Discussion
Posted
Thankyou so much for the updated NZ mesh. I know that this would
have been a real pain in the how's ya father after all the work to the
original product. I have checked out Queenstown, Milford and Mount Cook.
I can't get the grin off my face. I know that you will sort out any remaining
hicups that may be present elsewhere. Thanks again for the great work.
Kevin
