Morpheus Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 OLC SA is realy incredible to explore. Many thanks! Now please Africa, I'm waiting for ages for a good scenery/LC for this continent. In about a half year I will be done with exploring SA, so ORBX hurry up ;-) regards William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuisong Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi William, if you set yourself the target of flying to all the airports and airstrips in South America, you will truly be able to say that you have explored it. And I bet that will take you more than six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea, Africa would be an instant winner for me. Global + Vector already gave some facelift, together with FreeMeshX, but that continent has been neglected in the FSX/P3D world. The default being absolutely horrible. Many small airports and big ones as well to handle the tubes - and often with great fun VOR approaches only. -Esa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 OLC Africa has already been in development for some time, we already have 32 sets of brand new unique LC textures and have accumulated and added data for a large part of the continent already: Note this is all pre-alpha stuff, not the final product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Any new area to open up a seldom explored part of the world is going to be welcomed. Africa badly needs an overhaul so I am really looking forwards to this and some wonderful samples from JV. 4 hours ago, Stillwater said: I join the disappointment on the Asia shift, I am flying there so often in RL I keenly await it.

CraigusMaximus Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I can't wait to see the Africa OpenLC released! Pre-Alpha looks good so far and it'll be exciting to receive further info as time progresses. I'm eager to do some bush flying around this amazing continent, particularly Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Some great scenery completely ignored by default sceneries. FTX Global and Vector go some way. Combined with FreeMeshx it's acceptable as a fix until Orbx work their magic!

Orbx Flyer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I doubt you'll see an Africa OLC. Not too many simmers are based out of that continent, and not too many simmers ever state that they have flown routes over it. R.O.I. I bet will be the 'flushing sound and gurgle, for this asking...

Mickel Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Dubai-Addis. Addis-Cairo. Liege-Addis. From Egypt across to Tunis to the P40. Will do BOAC/Ghana Strat west African routes when OLC is out, as well as into Dakar on the way to South America. Have done some flying around South Africa. Over the ME a lot from Asia to Eur or back. And that's just with Global and Vector. OLC will make it more inviting. I doubt many flew over South America either. However 'build it and they will come' seems to be the order of the day, gauging by the reaction to OLC SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 "If you build it, he will come." Field of Dreams, my favourite film.

Mickel Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Can't say I've seen all of that, hence the mis-quote. Africa means flying around a place in one of my favourite films: You played it for her, you can play it for me! Play it! Not quite the oft quoted 'Play it again Sam.'

Der Flieger Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks for the previews, John! Really love the fact that Africa is finally getting some love by one of the big developers. Can we also expect one or the other airport scenery in the long term? I think places like Cape Town (FACT), Jo'burg (FAOR) or Addis Abeba (HAAB) are in dire need of some high class sceneries.

Rongor Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Several months ago I undertook an expedition from the Canaries down to Dakar. From Dakar, I was probing ahead, across Gambia to Bissau and then into Mali. Arriving at Bamako. Bamako looked pretty much like Tuscany. Deeply disappointed, I took a direct flight back to the Canaries. Since then, I am under a self imposed travel ban for African destinations. Some days after that experience I excitedly discovered JV's hint regarding an upcoming OLC Africa. Now I am waiting eagerly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...we'll see..., ORBX was also going to produce for XP...and that was very much flushed, by John himself, after having stated they had some alpha content already created for exploratory. Having some alpha...and announcing to a RTM, are sorry, two different species... Many XP users, were very much disappointed...so, we'll see.

A true North Korea scenery would reflect the tristesse there not only by depicting the scenery as it is, but especially by using FS98-state-of-the-art textures and blank polygons to cover even the metalevel.

Fufeli67 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Super stoked to be able to explore Africa! For anyone who has ever watched Out of Africa, Lawrence of Arabia or The English Patient... those flying scenes make me want to re-create some of those myself. As for the Middle East, also looking forward to exploring a part of the world that I'm not so familiar with. Raphael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nick, I certainly know them and their sceneries, but as far as I know they are good for freeware but far from anything ORBX or any other payware company can offer their customers. I'd love to see a payware version (in the quality of ORBX, FlyTampa or the likes) of the mentioned airports. I have seen the preview thread in Aerosoft's forum for FAOR, but unfortunately there hasn't been any news for ages... Cheers, Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I would agree, though I think that Aeroworx stuff is good by any standards. I was thinking as a stop gap until the developers reach South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
