[EGNM,EGLC No Departure ,Arrival and Approach Data]

The tower, ground, clearance and ATIS frequencies have also been removed from EGNM. Not tested others. I assume this is related to the missing navdata which is being fixed as we speak

Little error on the EGNM product page, a most impressive use of space!

The download size of this product is 2.85 GB. It uses 0.00 B when installed.

The side by side shots are impressive differences for first release products. Hopefully the few minor issues will be addressed in time.

I think you have some over expectations.

 

1-The streamer was on medium settings.

2-The biggest majority of people will not be happy paying the full price for the scenery they already own in previous sims which obviously not worth rework the sceneries from ground up, which will involve obviously way more time and resources.

 

I would rather have some old sceneries converted fairly quickly with a bit less of a quality then not having anything for a quite longer period.

 

Orbx obviously have gone with the most common sense decision that is convenient for the majority.

 

The thing is it's all well and good converting, but you're dropping old design into a modern and good looking sim, it just doesn't sit in the default scenery well. We've come to expect very high quality from Orbx, and for me the issues I've spotted mean that those two products don't live up to that expectation.

Don't get me wrong, as a alpha/beta tester of MSFS I know I should reserve judgement for the final release products and I'm basing my opinion on pre-releases, but IF these are what is going to market then I'm afraid I'll hold off and wait for better versions.

Hi Guys

 

Just watched the live stream preview of the new products featured on FSElite. I get they are just previews but I have to raise these points:

 

I was looking forward to the London POI pack and they look great in the day time, but after seeing them at night the lighting needs turning WAY down on them. They stand out against default scenery lighting like a sore thumb. It was like looking at P3D4 all over again.

 

Also, EGLCs texture blending between taxiways and the grass is really bad. It looks like its just been blured at the edges. Also the grass texture that everything is sat on top of looks like a very low res Ortho, probably around ZL14 or ZL15.

 

I'm afraid the preview video was a day one purchase killer for me.

 

Looking forward to future efforts though, hopefully we will see these products come on leaps and bounds.

 

Thanks

 

Phill

Here's an example from EGNM

 

You've just blown my mind. Well done indeed!

Fantastic work all. I only have one question, will the runways follow the correct contours like their default counterparts already do?

We'll miss November. We are waiting on a bunch of stadiums and other POI models to be finished this week and of course all the bug fixes from beta testing.

 

Aiming for first week in December now, so not too long now.

 

Hi John

 

Just a quick note from a new(ish) ORBX user.

 

You guys have done a fantastic job with all of  your products thus far, and I cannot wait for this one sometime in December. I am totally blown away by the accuracy we are seeing in the true earth series.

 

Thanks to all of you for your hard work and dedication to the flight sim community.
