    Orbx - Thankyou!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I just wanted to Thankyou Orbx team to bring the True Earth Series to XP12 and for existing owners of true earth its available at only 10% of the cost! 

    I would even go out to say I like flying True Earth better than MSFS as the terrain and colors are so good, its hard to beat. 

     

    Thanks so much!!

    Interesting... it does confirm my suspicion that they only have 5 ( large ) ships models that'll you'll see 1000s of times. Aside from not really being able to see the populated marinas from a useful distance in the Channel Islands demo - the thing that instantly killed it for me, was seeing the same cargo ship model 6 times within a 20km area. 

    Also, the argument about using high-poly models.... at least the way I fly - I'm looking at the ships from 0.5 nm away or more - I'd prefer low poly efficiency and variety ( esp regional variety )   

    I thought Henrik's subtle dig on them using Turbosquid models was kinda funny...  then I got curious...

    Also... floatplane wake on a cargo ship? ;)

     

     

    55 AUD for only 5 ( large ) ships models that'll you'll see 1000s of times! This then should be a freeware. I am not sure how come its being sold as a payware. I am not sure what the future developments are going to be. Sounded like a promising product. But disappointing to hear it.

    Compatibility of Orbx Landmarks London City Pack with Microsoft World Update: United Kingdom

    the UK World Update is a mess - my high end pc just keeps crashing to desktop in Flight Simulator (was fine before the update) and everywhere cathedrals and other significant landmarks remain missing. The buildings around Greenwich even on the loading screen aren’t even close to being as accurate as Orbx or Google Earth - the Isle of Dogs south of Canary Wharf (a very urban area) is now a forest of mis-sized trees!

     

    Please Orbx - release a TrueEarth England pack so we can actually get something worth using in MsFS

     

    I agree with David. The UK World Update is a mess. Even with 5Ghz overclocking I am hardly touching 20FPS and its a stutter fest. The center of London which has photogrammetry looks like a molten city as if hit by a nuclear weapon. At this point of time as is the performance is extremely bad and no matter how much Orbx optimize their new London City Pack, this is going to add more strain to the already poorly optimized London release.

     

    Also the blending of landmark with photogrammetry is something very much desired. Its not Orbx fault here. Orbx is doing a great job, but the hand placed landmarks especially standout in photogrammetry scenery which can be clearly made out while flying. Its like most of the photogrammetry is extremely dark and molten buildings and the hand placed landmarks are colorful and bright and they do not blend at all.

     

    I am sorry to say but is this the way we have imagined a sim to be where in we have molten structures with few hand placed structures in between that so not blend?

    Does Orbx have any plans to mitigate these issues?

    Adding to this. There is a niche tool at xplane.org called xToolBox that creates not only symbolic links but also junctions and shortcuts. Its a pay ware but the price is very reasonable. After using this tool I have stopped creating symbolic by going to command prompt manually. I use this tool to create all sorts of links for p3d, xplane, msfs anything basically as its not feasible to keep managing these symbolic links for multiple sceneries manually.

     

    Thanks

    Hi all, just an update to Oregon's status.

     

    We were ready to release but have received some newer orthoimagery for parts of the state that have much better colour tones. We are in the process doing some additional cleanup of that imagery and are planning to have it released towards the end of this month.

     

    Thanks for your patience, and in very short meantime you will be able to enjoy NorCal.

     

    Hello ED,

     

    This newer orthoimagery for parts of the state that have much better color tones, would that be added to TE Oregon for XP 11 as well with an update? Or is that not applicable to XP 11?

     

    Thanks.
