mhlarsen Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I remember that at some point the next openLC was Asia. Is this still correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Same question here. Supposedly that would be too good to be true. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 John had a post that said the next will be South America as they have more customers there. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave302 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Glad to hear that South America is next. Obviously personal opinion here, but I'd much rather have Middle East Africa before Asia. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well, I fly so often to Asia, I would be in for that region first. Saying that, JVs idea of counting the customers actually living in the particular region would be heading wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalbrech Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'll buy both (all). Quality products!!! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I lived in Asia and the Middle East for quite a while both, and would have been a close second to Gerold for Asia 1 or Asia 2. For South Am we'll see, there are some interesting places to fly too, I suppose.. Fortunately, the Samoas and Papua New Guinea have a strong flight simulator customer base so we get these great products from Tim & Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexzar14 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Came here with same question and decided to check if already asked. (sure it was!) South America hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezer Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 A few months ago I read in this forum that Orbx developed a new system to put out the landclasses easier and faster. So can we expect OpenLC South America next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Having spent countless years working in 9 middle east countries I got to say all were very bland. Yes there are some great sites to visit but from the air...no. Unless you like sand of course Personally I like to fly around areas of great topographical diversity and the ME is not one of those areas. Some parts of North Africa are OK. I look forward to South America as equally I do to Asia just because there is more diversity in landscape to enjoy from a scenic flying perspective.

Flying from Tel Aviv to Eilat over J'lem and the Dead Sea in an OrbX environment, hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Given the size of Asia and it's population density I am glad South America is going next. Asia will take a lot more time to get it right which would put other regions on hold for longer. North America took time and was split up, by comparison Asia is a much bigger undertaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Agreed Dominique. Those 2 countries have varied topography unlike Saudi or Kuwait or Bahrain etc. I used to visit Lebanon when it was the California of the Middle East, skiing up the Mt Lebanon mountains in the morning, sunbathing on the coast in the afternoon, and to the Casino Du Liban in the evening. Horrible how that whole region has turned out over the last 30+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North America took time and was split up, by comparison Asia is a much bigger undertaking Difficulty s not related to population or even continental sizes, Matthew, this is about available digital data to grind. Would Asia be more difficult than South America ? Not an easy task for both but the language might be more of a barrier for Asia than South America to do all the research. Also, I wouldn't mind having to pay for two Asia LCs (there are already two planned but one actually covers Mongolia and Siberia), roughly speaking one for SE ASia from Indochina to Indonesia maybe including Sri Lanka too, one more to the North for India, China and Japan. It would make sense, at least when you know how the landscapes look. I don't want to shoot down South Am, I understand the customer base argument even if i poked fun at it above but there is another argument. Many in Europe and the US work with Asia which a tremendous trade partner for us, lived there (I did) or even fought there (a lot of babyboomers in the FS community, remember) and, I guess, would be ready to buy some decent Asia LC scenery. The Scenery Tech LCs are very dated and mediocre, far from what OrbX would will deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanvito Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 From what I understand (coming from the map posted a few years ago), OpenLC Asia won't include the Middle East, the Stans, or Siberia. Those will come in their own packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero-3fsx Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 When you consider what OrbX has already achieved they must focus on economics first and our wishes as a second priority We want OrbX to be as prosperous as possible so they will still be here in 20 years making the best scenery with the available tech A prosperous OrbX also means early products for 64bit flight sims which are the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
