BrianV Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Wow! Amazing shots. Clearly we are looking forward to much more than only the USA. I look forward to explore this first step in Latin America. Lots of places for great adventure packages too (maybe this can attract Ken and Tim for another adventure with bushstrips?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Hamilton Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 How far down does NA extend? Thought Central America would be part of openLC SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRx Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I would imagine down to the Panama Canal, Bruce, from what we're seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertPilot Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Wow, with these volcanoes looking fantastic, I'm now especially wondering how the various other natural landmarks across openLC NA (south) will appear! For example, Grand Canyon and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanoes are extremly hard to cover in a landclass product because their shape and appearance is so variable. But those Screenshots are fantastic, and I'm much more interested in the central american region than the US to be honest. Could you please post some shots of volcanoes in Costa Rica, too? Namely the Arenal, Poas and Irazu? Would be great to see those in the same quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for the Conception volcano in Lake Nicaragua but there isn't any hi res aerial photos available. So far the volcanoes in Costa Rica are not in PR but I'll ask Eugene if it's maybe possible to include one, but I don't want to add to the time before release!

KORDATC Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I was also wondering if OLC NA inclides the lesser Antilles in the caribbean down to Trinidad? Others have said that it includes PR, Hispaniola, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where Hispaniola is at other than a place in the Dominican Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know that we'll have all the caribbean islands down to Piarco. I've always known the lesser antilles as the islands ranging from the virgin islands down to trinidad whereas puerto rico, hispaniola (the actual island comprising Dominican Republic and Haiti), Cuba, and Jamaica as the greater antilles. The Netherlands Antilles now on the other hand I know are just off the coast of Venezuela. As long as St. Lucia makes it in, I'm good to go as I fly down there regularly. Regards, Robert.

jabloomf1230 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hispaniola is the name of the island on which Haiti and the Dominican Republic are situated. The Lesser Antilles extend all the way south to Trinidad (TTPP) and Tobago (TTCP), so I guess that they are included in LC NA. The only question would be the Dutch islands of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire, which are just off of the coast of Venezuela.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just made a lot of friends in France, in the UK and in the Netherlands not counting the eight small independent island States ! But if you cover down to T&T, you've included almost all of the Lesser Antilles. I couldn't be but more pleased ! Great island hopping in perspective. Great airports to be developped by the OrbX teams too. Great pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm not too clear on this, what areas exactly will this LC cover? I was under the impression it would just be the lower 48 states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juanvito Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Big news, it's coming soon! So, if I understand correctly, the continental coverage ends at the Darien Gap, and all the little islands between Puerto Rico and Trinidad are included; but the ABC islands, Margarita and others around will be left to OpenLC SA.

Awesome news, So happy that I'm finally going to be able to fly in my home country with even more ORBX quality!!. I recommend you the following places to fly in Nicaragua (the land of lakes and volcanoes): - Ometepe Island (Includes Concepcion and Maderas Volcanoes) - Masaya Volcano National Park ( With an active lava lake) - Momotombo Volcano (In north of Managua's lake) - San Cristobal Volcano (Chinandega city) - Cosiguina Volcano (North of Chinandega) - Mombacho Volcano (Granada, colonial city) - The tropical side of the Country, the east coast with amazing rainforest. - Corn Island and Little Corn Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
