Jack Sawyer Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I just saw the announcement on FSElite about the new P3D 4.4 coming out in the 4th quarter. But I saw something I know absolutely nothing about, they mentioned something called Physically Based Rendering (PBR) textures. Will this affect the way Orbx makes their textures? Will Orbx have to re-do all their airports and sceneries? Just curious and please be nice as I know absolutely nothing about these kinds of things, I saw "textures" and immediately thought about Orbx and their textures. Thanks a lot.

JMBIII Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Very good question, Jack ! I was planning on getting v4, but now may wait 'til things settle out once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hall Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Aerofly FS2 and Xplane 11 have PBR and Orbx scenery works for them, FSW did as well, what PBR does is allow to upgrade more realistic lighting, it will depend on how LM implement the changes.

Larry_R Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hey guys, Before this topic feeds on itself, not to worry. All your Orbx scenery will continue to work as it does now. The LM team has continually been making new resources available to developers to use or not as they wish and this should be no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Larry! I have never heard of this before and was just curious if it would "break" any Orbx sceneries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog4Zero Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm on 4.3 now and I'm still waiting for REX to get the WX Radar working. Once they get that working I think I'll stick with 4.3 for a while. Everything else is working great. With my new rig even better than I thought. It's very frustrating to up grade and then wait for things to work after they say it will work and then it doesn't. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
