Dadtom65 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 He he. I take it that will be at the Cosford Flightsim show. Nice one, and my son and myself will be there. Looking forward to seeing the Orbx guys there and anyone else we might bump into. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysHarries Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 If I bought the P3D version of EU England and EU Wales now, would there be a discount for an upgrade to True Earth when it's released on P3D? I don't want to be spending a lot of money only for it to no longer be the best experience - and I'd get the True Earth when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Nope, this is a different product series using different tech and each region has different boundaries so there are no discounts if you have the FTX EU landclass based regions.

Deanl90 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi - I presume London will be included in True Earth England - will this be released later or along with the full package upon initial release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 The big reveal will happen at the flight simulation show at Cosford UK this coming Saturday and then posted on the forums and our social media. All your questions will be answered. If you are attending Cosford we will have two PCs at the show running a near-final version of GB South.

The Merowinger Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Is it for X-Plane 11 only or will it comes together with a version for P3D ? I'm not sure about it by reading this thread. The headline speaks about "for X-Plane 11" but many comments here are sounding as if there will be a release for the other platforms at the same (or near the same) time. That would be amazing! mfg Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE Netherlands for AFS2 was released a few months after the initial release for P3D so I think the release of GB for P3D (and AFS2) will also take a few months. Although I of course hope I am totally wrong when it comes to the AFS2 version. ;) But I have to add that waiting a while isn't bad: the AFS2 version of TE Netherlands contained a LOT of improvements (which afaik still aren't there in P3D as we speak). So I don't mind waiting for an improved version of TE GB for AFS2. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigelhj Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have been in and out watching for any news and really looking forward to seeing the 'Big Reveal' of True Earth UK South. As for the release I am quite happy to bide my time until the day comes, as my father once said to me when I was young: 'Looking forward to something is just as exciting as receiving it'.

Robert Smyth Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Still using FSX and got lost with all the information out there but am i reading that TE Great Britain will not be available for FSX? I know XP is first, then P3Dv4. Guess got confused with the first pinned topic from March 14 in General Discussion about the UK/Ireland photo regions coming to fsx. Just need help getting straightened out. Reading the topic True Earth Great Britain coming in hot and read it differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Smyth Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Now I think I have it. Read the post about oom's with 32 bit programs and the indefinite delay or postponement of TE versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelhj Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Quote Now I think I have it. Read the post about oom's with 32 bit programs and the indefinite delay or postponement of TE versions. I also have FSX and still use it because of all the classic aircraft I have. Also have X Plane11 and looking forward to the release of True Earth UK however, as far as FSX goes and Orbx being Orbx, they hopefully will in some way overcome the problems of 32bit applications even though it may not come for a while, I am sure that they will find a way round this problem in one form or another.

fltsimguy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I will be getting this product. I have massive amounts of ortho and overlays already, this is the one area where XP shines. But this is a much higher level. I also found that I needed to upgrade my RAM to 32gb. Once I did that no issues. My XP11+ is running smooth and steady and I have many ortho areas with overlays and run with sliders set to max. I7-6700K 4.2GHZ overclocked, GTX 970 4GB 7GHZ GDDR5, RAM 32G DDR4 2133MHZ, Win7 Professional, FSX, P3DV4+, XP-11 G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series F4-2133C15D-16GVR DDR4 2133MHZ 32GB(8GBX4) Memory Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Smyth Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Also worry about Ireland, due to problems in acquiring data. As for my future if fsx can't work with it, if it comes to that, I would think about P3D4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Herbert Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Just got home from Cosford. GB south looks fantastic. Now deleting all currently installed X plane ortho scenery for Wales and England south of 53 degrees north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way this program works and sceneries are added or removed as well aircraft, I can't see the benefit. I'm running 1.75 terabytes of ortho on another drive, shortcutted to the sim Scenery folder. My sim, my frames, run smooth as silk. I intend to do the same for Orbx ortho, unless they have done something to break the system which I doubt.

John Hargreaves Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I have three separate installs of X-Plane currently, one completely vanilla with no addons (except aircraft) for the beta, one with scenery for VR, and one for 2D with various addons that don't work/have no benefit for VR, such as moving map on another screen. Each one has its own quirks and character (and performance), and you get so many library folders etc that probably won't be necessary for OrbX. A clean install allows you to start from scratch without loads of pointless files that you may or may not need, so it feels better for me. Not saying it's totally necessary, but that's just what I'm planning to do. I can have a clean install just for UK flights, and another for other areas such as USA, but I'm tending to use AFS2 for USA and XP for the UK, due to what scenery is available.

My other worldwide coverage install with loads of addons will remain for non GB flying. I fly VFR low and slow so have no real interest in flying UK to Europe so an independent TE GB install suits my flying preference. Should I ever want to fly UK to Europe I will just add a shortcut entry to TE GB into my worldwide copy of XP11. The beauty of XP is that you can just cut and paste another copy anywhere you want with no worries about AppData, Registry entries etc. The other alternative of course is as fltsimguy says and have all your sceneries on a seperate Drive linked by shortcuts.

OK this is interesting. I only have the one install. So I assume that its "legal" to have more than one as long as its on the same computer? I used to have a complete backup of FSX and P3D but gave this up because of the staggering amount of data storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, and when you run the installer it actually asks you if you'd like to download another copy - unlike some other sims! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic, Thats the info im looking for, so since the 53 Degree North passes through Stoke, im guessing that my house might just sneak onto the South region in cannock. Fabulous news.

Gary Sparkes Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Have Both and very happy ,just picked up xp11 after a 6 year gap of simming ,the difference between then and now is amazing , Barton is 5 mins from where I grew up, and have been hundreds of times, especially during the Major airshows back in the 70,s 80,s we saw everything ! , I can actually see mum and dads house and field at the back, I can't imagine where this will go in 5 years from now. But in my 3-month search for scenery, add-ons, etc etc !you are killing it! but just for me please cut the grass on the strips at EGCB, they look ace from the air but ugly from the ground !everything else about it is spot on for now.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
