With virtually no noticeable performance impact, each LOD is consistent without any blurring and minimal LOD morphing when flying over the diverse terrain of New Zealand.
When installed, NZ Mesh takes up only 523MB of hard drive space and comes in at a 10m resolution. We are planning future updates to this product with LIDAR data of up to 1 m resolution to further enhance terrain detail in rural and urban areas.
We will be releasing NZ Mesh this week at AUD$15.95 (excl tax).
We have a selection of comparison screenshots below that show how NZ Mesh compares with the default provided by MSFS.

EGCK is a general aviation airport and search & rescue base located just 7.4km southwest from the town of Caernarfon with its historic castle and town centre. Serving as a base for the Welsh Search and Rescue and air ambulance, it is also host to several flying schools and offers tourists scenic flights over Snowdonia national park and beyond. Being just a short flight from the major city urban areas around Liverpool and Manchester, the airfield offers a great escape into the Welsh mountains and is an ideal base for exploring Wales and the north of England. For those more adventurous types, why not hop in a fighter jet and give the famous mach loop a try.
Created by Orbx developer Tony Wroblewski, the entire airfield has been modelled in superb detail from extensive real-world photography and numerous site visits offering unmatched realism and accuracy. The airport and all the recent extensions and new buildings have been included ensuring that the airport is as close as possible to the real airport and will remain so for many years to come.

An unexpected consequence of our international sale tax update for Orbx Direct was an erroneous price change for Australian customers, which showed the additional GST being charged on top at the checkout.
Our team is working on a solution and all Australian customers overcharged until the fix is in place will receive a refund on the difference.
Orbx is committed to its customers and if a price change was to occur it would be accurately described as such. In other words, this "increase" was a glitch and we will rectify it ASAP.
Recent updates to OrbxDirect to capture international taxes are part of Orbx changing compliance requirements.
Apologies to all the affected customers - we are working ultra fast to fix this.

The latest Freeware release of the FTX AU AI Traffic pack for P3D V5 is now available for download via Orbx Central!
This release is a stand alone new version and includes the following features:
- All AI aircraft models have been recompiled to PBR standard which greatly improves the appearance of the aircraft during all lighting conditions.
- Dynamic Lighting has now been added to all AI aircraft to provide better illumination of aircraft parts including tail logos etc.
- Addition of the new REX B737 Sydney – Melbourne service.
- New Cobham Dash-8 and Embraer 190 aircraft added.
- Removal of the last of the Qantas B747 aircraft as well as the now defunct Tigerair Australia.
- Additional ‘EXIT’ entries for full compatibility with gates with multiple SODE jetways.
- Airline schedules have been maintained essentially at pre Covid levels with the exception of a couple of known permanent changes, ie, the demise of Tigerair Australia, the rationalisation of the Virgin Australia fleet plus a few other minor changes.
This version of the FTX AU AI Traffic pack is for P3D V5 only. The package uses many features not available in earlier versions of P3D or FSX and will cause problems if copied into those systems.
The Orbx Central install process should work flawlessly for a trouble free installation on most systems however you are required to uninstall the prior version of the FTX AU AI Traffic pack prior to installing this new version. Failure to do this will result in duplication of most flights resulting in far too many AI aircraft present in the sim.-

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

The ever popular Key West International Airport is coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

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!

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
