    Orbx Central for P3Dv6?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi!

     

    I just saw that some products are now compatible with P3Dv6 (like Base Pack, vector, openLC Europe), which is really great news!

     

    But... Orbx Central doesn't see my P3Dv6...  (it did see P3Dv4 and P3Dv5 when those were still installed on my drive)

     

    Anyone?

    Sounds like I heard that before!

     

    Anyway: in my experience, at the border of a TrueEarth area, you can expect to see a clear cut. It won't blend nicely or so. At least, that's what I saw between TE Washington and the area to the north. However, I understood TE Netherlands does a better job in this respect, but I didn't test that yet.

    P3D v5.3 is here!

    I installed P3D v5.3 tonight and had quite a few test flights:

    as far as I can tell, all my Orbx sceneries work properly (openLC, airports, etc).

     

    As advized, I completely removed P3D v5.2 (see post of Rob Ainscough hereabove).
    Since my Orbx sceneries are installed in a library, in theory all I needed to do to get Orbx working in the new version was : open the settings in Orbx Central, then go to the Help section, and click Sync Simulator. I did that, and just to be sure I also uninstalled and re-installed Global Base Pack (I think it was needed in the past). 

    That's it.

    Laptop Cooling

    Hi Caleb,

     

    just like you, I bought a modern (gaming) laptop to replace an older desktop. I use it for P3D v5. It gets very hot too (regularly above 80 degrees), so I bought a cooling pad. It's difficult to measure the effect (in my case, the temp reduction can't be 10 degrees, otherwise I would have noticed!). But I'm confident the cooling pad must help somehow, because it keeps the air moving (so hot air keeps moving away as well). 

     

    Regards,

    Mathieu

    How many more votes can we get until august the 18th? And how many after this date? :D

     

    'Until august the 18th'...

     

    You probably meant until MSFS2020 was released...  well, it's released now, I bought it and I can tell: I still prefer flying P3D with Orbx.

    So... yes, come on with openLC Asia! (please!)
