    XP12 - Orbx Roadmap

    in X Plane 12

    Posted

    Could someone from Orb give some estimate to us? Which year and which quarter? And will you have upgrading option by discounted price? ATM I will not buy new TE products to XP11 before I know. BF was a hard temptation 😄

    XP12 - Orbx Roadmap

    in X Plane 12

    Posted

    There is now 7 airports, 1 landmark packet and Global Forest v2 in Orbx store. XP12 Final has been around about 3 months so about 3 addons per month.

     

    I would be glad to know roadmap too. Specially I would  like to get more information about XP12 TE versions.

    Will X-Plane 11 products get an update for X-Plane 12 compatibility?

    Now that dedicated X-Plane-12-only Orbx-products have been released alongside X-Plane-11 Orbx-products (e.g. YBBN), can we still expect existing X-Plane-11 products to be made officially X-Plane-12-compatible eventually (without added X-Plane 12 functionality, of course)?

     

    Which ones aren't compatible? My TE sceneries are worked well. I think XP12 versions should have added XP12 functionality, even there would be a upgade cost.

     

    Last 30 days XP12 has average 282 concurrent players and XP11 930 players, together 1212 players. XP11 has avg 2578 players April 2020 (highest month). It has avg 285 players in 5th month. MSFS was published August 2020. XP11 had 2066 users July and September it had 1285 users.  All data is taken steam.

    MSFS has avg 7021 users last 30 days.

    So it is understable that MSFS is priority. XP12 needs more users and we XP users must be more inclusive. I have noticed in XPlane Forum some arrogance towards average users which may drive away new users.

     

     

     

     

    XP 12 - on sale

    in X Plane 12

    Posted

    I bought it in beta phase but refunded. Now I bought it again from sale, most bugs were fixed. There is shimmering because missing TAA but it is good. I have old addons which works with it, like Orbx TE series sceneries and aircrafts. I bought Alps UHD for XP12 (upgrade) too. Ortho4XP + X-World freeware is far better than in XP11 so use it where there is no payware sceneries. 

     

    Yesterday I flew in Cambridge with TE GB South + Ikarus C42 and it was pleasant. You can think XP12 is seasons and clouds addon, even that is valued 40 euros. Old addons works remarkable fine. Steam gives 2 hours testing phase (with refund rule) so you can test scenery addons. Others can be tested with standalone demo. I recommend XP12 but not full price.

    The autogen buildings are better in the top image but the vegetation colours are too dark, more like winter colours than summer. Roads have a green tinge too as do hay fields. And those shadows are baked into the image, there were no clouds to cast them so they should not be there. If you prefer that well that's your subjective opinion but I don't share it and the point I was making about which are clearer stands. The bottom image, regardless of your opinion on colours looks sharper than the top image. The trees are more accurately sized too.

    I prefer top more, colours are better and it is softer. The bottom is too crispy and colors are too bright. Those clouds are a problem, I though there is clouds. I like top forests too. 

     

    Which sims does those are and which addons? The top colors looks more like my GB South TE but otherwise it seems like MSFS.

    X-Plane 11 TrueEarth Spain? when? ;)

    Just to add to my message above, will Laminar abandon XP12 if there is not going to be any 3rd party support for it, either for scenery add-ons or aircraft?

    No it will not. Austin is pretty passionated about XP as you can see in the video below.

    So, it is clear that you have abandoned X-Plane!  I can accept that and move on... But why?   

     

    The usage data (that can be easily seen in the flight sim community) suggests a different metric than the amount of new X-Plane titles that you release or plan to release...

     

    I have to ask, is this simply because it is much cheaper and simpler to develop MSFS titles?   Will the proportion adjust to the usage once X-Plane 12 has been released?

    Hope that they return when XP12 comes. Now it may be wise to postpone development until that. Maybe they wait how many will buy XP12.

    Re: all the criticisms against MSFS London Landmarks in this thread

     

    I've bought and used it and I'm not understanding the issue here. We aren't supposed to look at the landmarks from such a low height and distance. This is a flight simulator, not Cities: Skylines. Some of you guys are flying the drone camera literally inches from the landmarks and taking pics. The altitude and distance you are using aren't realistic. You will never fly an aircraft or helicopter that close to the landmarks in London in real life. And think of the FPS hit as well if you really want them highly detailed.

     

    Orbx have done a phenomenal job with this addon.

    I have not used that fs2020 addon, but I have Orbx superb addon for x-plane. I must say that I fly low and close to landmarks, atleast when flying with helicopters (they comes to fs2020 later). I do not know how those better graphics will shown with reverb G2, Orbx x-plane with reverb G1 I can notice those errors easily in London. Personally I would be satisfied those lower quality landmarks if they would not replace original better landmarks. 

     

    You must remember that Orbx have been best scenery maker and so we wait that they lives with their reputation.
