    @opeli- Of course shortly after I posted my message above, Orbx released TE Spain (South) and of course it's up to the usual high standard that we come to expect from Orbx. But the question is will they produce Spain TE North to complement their TE South? I suspect not, but more to the point, will they support with addons XPlane 12 when it's eventually released (possibly this year)? I sincerely hope that they do as I'm a stalwart XP enthusiast.

    Just to add to my message above, will Laminar abandon XP12 if there is not going to be any 3rd party support for it, either for scenery add-ons or aircraft?

  3. The reason that I like to use Orbx airports in XP11 is first of all the quality AND that they fit in nicely with their True Earth range AND they are easy to install using their Central software tool where one has the facility to choose different drives AND the choice of their partners' addon airports can also be installed using Central and I assume that all those also blend in nicely with the TE scenery range.

    Any chance of looking at producing Malaga airport as an addon please, either by yourselves or from one of your partners, now that TE Southern Spain has been released? Also, I assume that TE Northern Spain is now in the pipeline?

  4. Yes, I'm wondering that. I'm sure I read on this forum that Orbx officially announced quite some time ago now that they will be releasing True Earth Southern Spain for XP11. Is this still on the cards and if so can you please give us some sort of clue as to when it is likely to be released? TE Southern Spain would be a great piece of scenery to add to our TE collection.

     

    If the project has been abandoned, then it would be nice to know.

    Please note that there is no "Orbx version" as far a s I am aware and only a couple of Orbx airport addons have the requirement for any version of SAM if you want working jetways.

    Hi John - in Orbx's Central under 'My Products' there is listed SAM as an entry. Is this not the same for everyone who uses the Orbx Central facility? I assumed it was and that it was automatically loaded (as 'Libraries' is automatically loaded) when anyone installed 'Central'.

  6. @Maker- I remember some time ago now that when I installed some 3rd party airport scenery, I also installed their own SAM package as well. That was a mistake as it looked like that there was a clash between their SAM software and Orbx's own version of SAM. It caused all sorts of problems at the airport in question. As soon as I deleted the 3rd party SAM software package, that resolved the problems that I was having.

     

    It seems most non-Orbx airport scenery comes with its own version of SAM. I always choose the option of not to install it to avoid any further clashes with SAM that Orbx provides.

    While I can't begrudge Orbx their apparent success, I also can't rid myself of this feeling that those of us in the "other" sims are bottomed out on the 'to do' list.  I will always maintain that their scenery looks best on XP but that's just me.  

    I agree - for me their TE series of addon sceneries for XP11 looks more realistic than for MSFS.

  8. Actually, it's just a thought - how long will you be holding the discount for from the 26th? It's just that I won't be able to access the Orbx Central software to download this scenery on my PC until I get back from the Christmas break on the 2nd of January?

    Is there any way of paying for it without using Orbx Central using my iPad and then download it after my return?

  9. 'Had the bridge already been included in MSFS, you would have been paying twice for it, when buying the cityscene'

     

    No, because if the bridge was already included, then Orbx would not have included it in their package. They didn't include the opera house as that was already there.

     

    I just think the release of MSFS has been rushed to get it out into the market. Maybe they should have waited a year or two before they released it in order to correct any scenery anomolies that are quite clearly there from the start. That way, it wouldn't be necessary to pay extra for what should have been there in the first place!

  10. Nope - I'll be sticking with XP11 and download any TE + large airport addons that Orbx provide in the future for that sim. If they don't then they don't and I'll be fine with that. I'll take a view on MSFS AFTER XP12 is released (even if that's years ahead) and then compare. Meanwhile, I'm more than happy with Orbx addons that I have to date and just love the quality that the sim provides with all the Orbx addons that I have so far. There are many other advantages that XP11 has over MSFS at the moment, but those advantages may disappear over time as Microsoft upgrades - we shall see.

  11. @John Venema - sorry John, but I'm a little confused looking at my 'ini' file order as there are other files in between all the OrbX True Earth files. Is that ok? For example, Shoreham Roads is one of the files in question, as are Barton Overlay and Landmarks - Sydney, Also the OrbX Library file is right at the bottom as well, Is that were it should be?

     

    Please would you have a quick look at the order of my 'ini' files and check if they are all in order.
