Flyguy767 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Great news !!!! Just perfect timing. Taking a break from FSX in the summertime , waiting to build my monster rig early Sep or so( i7 4790K, GTX 980 ) . I live in Canada and this is going to be huge! Current landclass I have now , annoying repeating textures in Ontario and especially Nova Scotia will be GONE . I have OpenLC EU now and I am still amazed by the detail and accuracy ( sometimes I have Google Earth open when I fly and it is as "real and accurate" as it gets) And I already e-mailed Santa Claus for what I want for Xmas - OPEN LC USA!!!!! Thank you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmw Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This is wonderful news to cheer me up having just returned to the real world from a holiday! Splitting the product to get part of it sooner is exactly what I had hoped might happen when the reasons for the delays were explained by John earlier this year. My dream of just flying slowly from airfield to airfield across the whole of North America is finally in sight. Really pleasantly surprised by the price as well considering the work that is going into this. Thanks JV Flyguy767 - you are going to love the i7 4790K build, see my sig. At the moment that combination is still excellent for any variant of FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juanvito Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks for the tip, my credit card is ready! One question though: does this mean Mexico/Caribbean will be moved to OpenLC South America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farman Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks for the tip, my credit card is ready! One question though: does this mean Mexico/Caribbean will be moved to OpenLC South America? Hi Juanvito, yours is an interesting question, actually. Geographically and politically speaking Mexico belongs to the North America continent. Caribbean and Cuba to the Central America continent.

Sid Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hello everyone, In the coming week we'll be testing openLC Alaska/Canada which is now about 90% done. Preview screenshots will begin as soon as Emmsie and co get to play with it. We listen to our customers, and because you've asked for it, we're going to split openLC NA into two products, both triple-installers and FSX:SE ready. 1. openLC NA Alaska/Canada - due August - AU$19.95 (US$14.50 £9.50 €13.50) 2. openLC NA USA - later this year - AU$19.95 (US$14.50 £9.50 €13.50) The price is effectively half of the original $39.95 planned for all of NA. This approach means you get Artic/Alaska/Canada *now* instead of waiting until later this year, and you're not paying any more for the split products. The rest of openLC USA is well underway and we are negotiating with more contractors to help refine and better represent the small towns and settlements which have been the major hiccup. We want everyone in the USA to be able to accurately recognise their home town. In terms of new ground textures there is a vast new palette already done for the USA to better represent the SE coast, deserts, cities, suburbs, rural plains and everything in between. It will be like a 'mega-region' covering the whole of the USA and we're excited about it already! UPDATE: I've posted some alpha preview shots in the USA - http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/100340-first-ever-alpha-screenshots-of-openlc-na/ Vector 1.3 The PILOT'S team are doing final compiles of the Vector 1.3 update which addresses many user reported bugs and missing features and add major new data for PNG and North America. We hope to have this in testers' hands by the end of next week. Vector v1.3 will be a free update and triple-installer. PILOT'S is under contract to Orbx to product Vector 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 over the coming 24 months, so the commitment to the roadmap is very real and it's a multi six-figure investment by Orbx, our largest single contract ever negotiated in our company history. We want Vector to be the go-to product for everyone and the only way to achieve that goal is constant improvement. I hope this news is welcome to you all, and I do thank you for your patience given the delays in our rollout roadmap announced back in 2013. It will be worth the extra wait. Loved that post John. And loved the news about Vector (as was wondering what was happening with that)! Hoping that Vector 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 will also enhance vector in the rest of the world too, to fit in with the other OpenLC products. I have faith and, a big "Yes", this is all very welcome and fantastic news and I know when you say it will be worth the extra wait, it most certainly will and I'm very happy to know that I get to wait as it gives away how good all the products are really going to be....USA 'mega-region' sounds unbelievable! Thank you for all the great news...looking forward to all that is to come out of the house of Orbx...the goto 'Sim planet'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddler Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Always happy to receive notice of what is going on. This sounds wonderful and am very glad to see the Caribbean area included.

Gonna take weeks and I'm gonna love every bit of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancidViper Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 As an avid developer and tech geek, I'd just love to know what goes on behind closed doors at ORBX. It must take quite a team to bring the entire continent of NA into a digital platform. If only they had a Behind The Scenes documentary on ORBX. I'd tap that!

Dadtom65 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi Guys. OpenLC Alaska/ Canada, fantastic. That is going to be a large area to look at and fly over. As some one said it will take weeks. Looking forward to it and NA. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBurd01 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Very excited for OLC USA. Wish it came out first, oh well. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. I do hope that NV, UT, AZ, and NM will still get proper region packs eventually. Sedona and Monument Valley are huge teases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorvay1971 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'd been putting off reinstalling all of my regions and airports for NA because of this. Since it's fast approaching, I'll patiently wait and keep flying around the beautiful British Isles (compliments of ORBX of course). -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
