  16. We would like to provide you with an update on the recently released Microsoft World Update: IV France/BeNeLux, and how it affects our Orbx Landmarks Paris City Pack product. The Microsoft update includes all new photogrammetry for a small part of Paris, along with several dozen new custom models of landmarks. What does that mean for our customers that have purchased and installed the Orbx Landmarks Paris City Pack product? In its current form, Landmarks Paris conflicts with the Microsoft update due to overlapping landmark buildings and our terraforming files. Thus, you will see a few duplicate buildings and some smaller missing areas of photogrammetry buildings. We are currently working with Microsoft on a Service Pack which will be fully compatible with this update and will expediting the update on the MS Marketplace. In the meantime, if you want to deactivate the Orbx Paris pack, you can do one of the following: If installed via OrbxDirect, uninstall in Orbx Central; or Uninstall inside MSFS from Profile > Content Manager (search for "Paris") Please stay tuned to our forums and Twitter account for progress updates, and if you need help with any of this, please go to support.orbxdirect.com. Happy flying! The Orbx Team
  17. The ever popular Key West International Airport is coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Located between Cuba and Miami, Key West is situated on an island that is only 8-square miles, and only has a 5,076-foot runway to get your aircraft up in the air, which also means weight restrictions. Sparing no details, we have included all buildings, hotels and major landmarks surrounding the airport. Also included are smaller details such as custom ground vehicles, and the infamous AN-2 Cuban airliner that was hijacked and landed at Key West, becoming a permanent resident of the airport. Features Detailed 3D buildings. PBR materials through Realistic night lighting Custom GSE, vehicles and ground clutter A number of POIs in the immediate area Enjoy these first previews and we will be releasing very soon!
  18. Hi everyone, We realise we have not announced any product roadmap for a while, mostly due to putting efforts on planning around the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator and understanding what was possible. After a few months, and a few more products, we feel now it’s a good time to draw up a list of products which we are planning to release in the next little while. Now - we know in flight sim (and in life!) things can change fast, so we reserve the right to modify the list and the sequence, so best to keep checking our “coming soon” page to be up to date with what is coming next. First of all, here are some of the Landmarks City Packs we have lined up for development in MSFS: Auckland, New Zealand Cape Town, South Africa Cairo, Egypt Dubai, UAE Dublin, Ireland Frankfurt, Germany Honolulu, Oahu, USA Melbourne, Australia Mumbai, India Panama Canal and Panama City Yokohama, Japan ....and Cityscape Sydney for P3D! Then a few Regional Packs, also for MSFS: Canary Islands Northern England Scotland A couple of very neat regions are planned for X-Plane 11 and Prepar3D, with the spectacular TrueEarth Eastern Alps (P3D) and TrueEarth Southern Spain (XP11), and you already know about openLC Asia. Regarding airports, we have a bit of a mix between P3D and MSFS, but we are also looking at a number of refreshed airports for XP11. These below are the ones in production: KBOI Boise International (P3D) KBUR Hollywood Burbank (XPL) KCRW Chuck Yeager (MSFS) KPBI Palm Beach (P3D & MSFS) LDSP Split Airport (P3D & MSFS) LIEO Olbia (XPL) LKPR Prague (P3D & MSFS) VTSP Phuket International (P3D) And from our Indies, we have the following that are in deep development: KAVX Catalina for MSFS (Ken & Tim) ENTO Torp for P3D (Finn) KVNY Van Nuys for P3D & MSFS (Matteo) LIPH Treviso for MSFS (Matteo) SBSP São Paulo for MSFS (Matteo) ESSB Stockholm Bromma for MSFS & P3D (Marcus) On top of these, our Australian HQ airport, YMEN, will be launched on MSFS, P3D and XP11 at the same time. Essendon Fields is celebrating 100 years of operation, and we are working closely with Essendon Fields management and airport operations to bring you this airport in its full glory, with max details and true to life buildings. We are rather excited by this (very excited as a matter of fact!), and we hope you will all come and visit. ;-) In some really new news, we will be soon releasing our very first aircraft for MSFS - the Edgley Optica. The aircraft was designed for low speed observation work with a loiter time of around 7 hours, intended to rival helicopters. The bubble canopy provides an amazing 270 degrees panoramic vision and almost vertical downward vision, which is perfect for enjoying Orbx scenery all around. A total of 22 aircraft were manufactured over the years and some are still operational in countries across the globe. Our version has been lovingly crafted with a high attention to detail and will come with some representation of real world skins including some of our own favourite custom designs. We are sure you will love flying this aircraft in MSFS as much as our team has. Well! That is a bit of a list which will keep us busy for the next few months… We are leaving this post open for comments. Happy to get your feedback and future requests! As always yours in flying, The Orbx Team
  19. Developer Andrea Hegi shifts his sights to Europe with his recreation of Samedan Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This airport offers some exciting and challenging approaches and is especially busy during the winter months. As a popular ski resort in the Swiss Alps during the winter season, a vast number of general aviation traffic and private corporate jets frequent the beautiful airport. Situated in the heart of the Engadin valley, you can expect unsettled winds, low-visibility and plenty of turbulence. Even the most experienced of pilots will find landing at the 5,600ft above sea-level airport tough especially with the the weather effects of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Samedan Airport features the same level of detail you come to expect from our airport collection and blends in perfectly with the high-altitude, scenic mountains. Coupled with a tough approach, Samedan Airport is the perfect spot away from the bustling international airports and for those looking for something more exciting to try. Completely new version of the bestseller Located in the south east of Switzerland Full PBR UHD texturing Incredibly detailed, high definition rendition of Samedan Airport Scenic mountain landscape with glaciers, lakes and rivers all make stunning visual approaches Realistic HD textures created from on-site photography to provide the most immersive experience possible Includes the villages of Samedan and St. Moritz with many custom hotels and churches - perfect for the VFR fliers By Andreas Hegi Enjoy these first previews!

  21. Welcome to Ohrid St. Paul Apostle for Microsoft Flight Simulator, the first MSFS airport from Orbx developer Teo Gerovski! Located in the fields 9km northwest from Ohrid, it is the most popular summer destination in North Macedonia and serves over 300 thousand passengers per year, flying to many destinations around Europe.Ohrid is the perfect addition to your Balkan airports collection. With super accurate and detailed modelling of all airport assets, textured with ultra high-resolution textures, giving you the most impressive stay while you are in Ohrid. The number of such "tourist" airports in the world is large, and it is a known fact that more than half of the airports in the then SFRY were of this type: Dubrovnik, Split, Tivat, Rijeka, Pula, Porec, Banja Luka, Ohrid and others. Finally, it is very logical for Ohrid Airport to be spoken of as a tourist airport, when the largest tourist center in North Macedonia is located in the service area of the airport. The real expansion in the physical volume of the traffic at Ohrid Airport started in the second half of the 80's, with the intensive development of the stationary tourism during the summer period on the Ohrid Riviera. Many international tourists, primarily from the Netherlands, Germany and Great Britain, as well as tourists from Slovenia and Serbia, which confirms the fact that one of the main reasons for the existence of Ohrid Airport, perhaps the largest, is the development of tourism in North Macedonia. $16.99 AUD US$13.14 | €11,04 | £9.46 USD, EUR, GBP estimates only Features Expertly optimized for best performance Ultra-detailed 4K textures with completely overhauled PBR texturing Completely AI-compatible Complete dynamic & emissive lighting Sloped runway Full PBR North Macedonia's second busiest airport $16.99 AUD US$13.14 | €11,04 | £9.46 USD, EUR, GBP estimates only

  23. Coming this weekend - EGSG Stapleford Airfield for Microsoft Flight Simulator!

  24. Well - we have officially taken the logo out of the rectangle, so we can expand our horizons more easily... Jokes aside, we hope you like the new look, the logo and the wordmark. Clean and versatile (we think), carrying forward our history and origin. More to come as we release bit by bit our new brand architecture. Big team effort but kudos to our in-house creative, Alberto, labouring on this for a good chunk of time. He's having a nap now.
  25. We would like to provide you with an update on the recently released Microsoft World Update: United Kingdom, and how it affects our Orbx Landmarks London City Pack product. The Microsoft update includes all new photogrammetry for central London, along with several dozen new custom models of landmarks, like London Eye and Buckingham Palace. What does that mean for our customers that have purchased and installed the Orbx Landmarks London City Pack product? In its current form, Landmarks London conflicts with the Microsoft update due to overlapping landmark buildings and our terraforming files. Thus, you will see duplicate buildings, as well as missing areas of photogrammetry buildings, among other inconsistencies. We are currently working on a separate pack which will be fully compatible with the Microsoft World Update: UK. This will be free for customers who have previously purchased the London City pack. Once this pack is released (in a week or less in Orbx Central and possibly a little longer on the MS Marketplace as we are dependent on their approval queue), there will be two products: one for the non-UK update and one for the UK update. You will then be able to activate one or the other, depending on whether you have the UK update running or not. In addition, we are planning a comprehensive content update in a few weeks’ time to add some exciting new landmarks to both packs. If purchasing the pack as a new customer, you will be able to choose either product, though both will be included in the same price, ie. you can get both, pay once, and decide which one you want to run. In the meantime, if you want to deactivate the Orbx London pack, you can do one of the following: If installed via OrbxDirect, uninstall in Orbx Central; or Uninstall inside MSFS from Profile>Content Manager (search for 'London") Please stay tuned to our forums and Twitter account for progress updates, and if you need help with any of this, please go to support.orbxdirect.com. Happy flying! The Orbx Team
