Rodrigo Bravo Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi guys! I want to share some photos taken 1 hour ago: The place is Iguzú Falls, on the border of Argentina and Brazil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguazu_Falls The shots are from Aerolineas Argentinas flight 1720, from Buenos Aires (AEP) to Puerto Iguazú (IGR) on a 737 Next Gen mat. LV-CTB. IGR is an awesome airport near the falls, on the middle of the jungle: https://www.google.com.ar/maps/place/Puerto+Iguazú,+Misiónes/@-25.735295,-54.4806756,4586m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x94f6923af74e96dd:0xb4b8eeda942aae07!8m2!3d-25.5971635!4d-54.578599 Some days ago we was talking about the Fitz Roy on the Patagonia. This is just the other extreme of Argentina, an awesome jungle with hot temperatures all the year. I'm really expecting a nice work from ORBX on the South America region.

ArcherII Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Oh, yes! I cannot wait any longer! Looking forward to fly from Comodoro Rivadavia to Neuquen over the vast Patagonian high plateau which resembles Mars from above (and no airstrips enroute to put the plane down for any emergencies). I simply cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickel Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Any and all... ;-) I'm looking forward to flying heavy freighters into high altitude places like Bogota, Addis and Jo'burg, not to mention old colonial routes through east Africa in Strats, Connies and DC-6Bs, and short haul heavies throughout Asia. Low and slow can stay in the regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Fantastic shots, Rodrigo. The pilot has treated you well! Indeed we all can look forward to the upcoming extensions of open_LC, and with a good number of locals here in the forum, we will get lots of hints to special attractions to be hopefully considered by the orbx team. Fingers are crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanvito Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yeah, looking forward to seeing the diversity of landscapes in South America, OpenLC style. Also, I think the gap in quality between OpenLC and competing landclass products is bigger in South America (and Africa and Oceania) than Europe and NA.

aero-3fsx Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 On a positive note how about renaming this thread "excitement" instead of "anxiety" You know SA LC will be released when OrbX are ready and when it is up the outstanding quality they always provide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volkira Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Spoiler Well I decided to fly to Salto Ángel (Angel Falls) in Venezuela in the sim and I have to say it was the biggest let down. It wasn't even in the sim.How could such a famous landmark be totally missing. I really am hoping places like this will be added in the South American LC.As well as dedicated Add On content like an updated FSX/P3D Aeropuerto Canaima SVCN that is close to this falls.An Add on with animated falls would be nice.

aero-3fsx Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Not being in the sim stems back to probably fs98, after which Microsoft did little more to remote locations on the earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that I can't rename the thread. In Spanish colloquial language is normal to use "anxiety" (ansiedad) as a "excitement" (excitación), giving to "anxiety" a connotation more related with the concept of desire/wish/impatience than the literal sense of "nervous anxiety". In forums I use my "super fast English", that's is basically write without overthink in some details, and sometimes I inadvertently abuse of latin semantics. I sorry for that, but works for me.

Guest Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hi, I change the title to "enthusiast" as "anxiety" is negative too for French speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanvito Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I like the name change, I think of this as the OpenLC South America HYPE thread. Looking forward to my own neck of the woods, but also to La Gran Sabana, Patagonia, the bolivian Altiplano.. even the big cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo Bravo Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Several months ago I offered to help 100% for free (I don't want nothing) with some important data and exact localization of several key places o key points, taking in consideration all the variables that can manage openLC in comparison with the more detailed regions. I talked a little with Maurizio on that moment... South America is a really diverse and giant area to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you don't realize that the airport is on the two shots in the first post! https://www.google.com.ar/maps/place/Puerto+Iguazú,+Misiónes/@-25.735295,-54.4806756,4586m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x94f6923af74e96dd:0xb4b8eeda942aae07!8m2!3d-25.5971635!4d-54.578599 You can see how near the falls (Las Cataratás del Iguazú on the satellite photo) here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 We hope to release this month or early July. Beta testing is proving to show very positive results down to Village level. You will enjoy the amazing new textures we have in the product! In the meantime, how about if our South American customers start a topic of the nicest places to visit in openLC SA?

I think that openLC will be great, but for have the coin of detailed areas that some people are expecting, you must create "regions". As a customers we need to remember always the difference between the openLC and a "region" and don't have unrealistic expectations. I think that you can develop 5-6 regions in the next years and all will be best-sellers. Regions as a "Patagonic Ices", "Peruvian/Bolivian Altiplano Mountains" or "Amazon Rainforest" really will have a lot of demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volkira Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Aconcagua in Argentina/Chile border. Highest peak outside of Asia. I much prefer the high detail areas.Simple things like Israels Farm or Walter Sutton but a South American version. Bush strips with Amazonian locals walking around.Not westerners as in our normal add ons.Keep those for the bigger city airports. How about some locals in canoes in the rivers.Little details like this mean more to me than a huge San Fran Airport. Bring those rivers alive with AI. Need a new play ground while waiting for all my airports to be V4 converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I guessed this already from your shots, being a trained & orbified bushpilot... 22 hours ago, John Venema said: In the meantime, how about if our South American customers start a topic of the nicest places to visit in openLC SA? That is a fantastic suggestion, JV. It will surely open the possibilities of our great community to add special features of beloved places into OpenLC. I hope for success!

Captain Lars Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I wonder if the Galapos Islands are included, they are notoriously incorrect in FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
