Pokredde Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Wonder if I am the only one having these graphic issues in Netherland (Orbx) Floating buildings at Gilze-Rijen EHGR (and some other places) Misaligned grass and runway texture in most of the airports. I have the latest GPU Nvidia drivers and a GTX1070 (I have just checked again again) I have tried lowering the graphic settings to low with lowest resolution 1024x768 (get about 500fps) and the buildings is still floating?

Doug Sawatzky Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 You will need to opt into FastLane and upgrade to the newest version of FTXC3 as per the below topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran the "Verify files" now after opting into FastLane and upgrading to the newest version of FTXC3. All up to date and I still got the same misaligned grass and floating buildings at Gilze-Rijen EHGR (Only place I have testet yet after updating now).

Pokredde Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 It's a bit unfortunate that we have no news or answer regarding the patch. I have bought a product that does not work properly and it really breaks the immersion of else an amazing scenery. I was really looking forward to this scenery for a long time.

Pokredde Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Permission to speak freely: I have been waiting since august and my patience is getting tested here. Sorry for the honesty, but I think it's a very bad experience buying a $54.95 AUD product with all these floating objects in many of the airports. It makes me consider if your bussines plan is releasing many buggy products instead of patching already released products? It's indeed nice with "40 custom models for lighthouses with their lighting" coming some day, but maybe the floating buildings and objects should be prioritized instead? This experience make me really worried buying Orbx products again - on sale or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mac Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 All, I have to agree with Tonni that patching the original would be preferable than creating new content. The missing bridges at Arnhem are a serious omission. Regards, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was seen recently with the wind turbines, sometimes the Aerofly AFS2 engine does strange things, and the devs have no idea why. It's possible that the issues are related to problems that are not easy to fix. I understand that floating objects are a bit of a hit to the immersion factor but only for a few seconds at particular spots, then once you're flying, which is the idea of a flight sim, they can be forgotten and the incredible flying over the scenery can be enjoyed. that's the attitude I take, anyway.

I don't find this to be a cheap product at this price. At least not for me. I find it quite uacceptable to buy a product and wait over a quarter of a year and still not getting fixes for some VERY obvious faults. When we ask and ask, we do sometimes get lucky to get answers like below: Yes, the comments are seen. I have no news on a service pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the developer is methodically plodding through fixes as time in his life permits. When the list is complete the SP1 will be released. Until then it is still perfectly possible to enjoy flying around the Netherlands enjoying the scenery below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really should fix these big issues before creating new content. (this scenery was released in august) And yes, when flying it's not as apparent. At least not in planes, but with the newly released R22 helicopter it's a way bigger issue. And Personally I do spend some considerable time on the the grund running procedures, taxiing etc. This product can not be recommended in this state...

Nick Cooper Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hello, I think you have made your point several times. There will be a service pack and I am sure you would not hesitate to come back loudly if your demands were not fully met on its release. Others have complained of the lack of lighthouses and their demands need to be satisfied also. I would ask for your patience while the service pack is prepared for release.

My repeatedly questions is a result of getting short answers and no estimate for how long we have to wait. It's nice to go get an answer though. I just hope all these dealbreaking and floating buildings/objects and grass on runways will be Fixed with this service pack someday (hopefully in 2019)... "Two more weeks..."

John Anderson64 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I know that it takes lots of work to make a service pack and I admire that. But please don`t say that you're only adding lighthouses?, there`s so much more than the coastal and Western part of the Netherlands. Please give us the missing bridges and other detailed landmarks for the rest of the country, it would be very appreciated and would bring the scenery to really extreme high standards...

John Mac Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I agree with John Anderson64 and yes I have plenty of patience. As one who has worked in the IT/software world I know that in every dev cycle there is a point when you have to release and then update. VFR flying is all about landmarks and rivers and bridges etc and they are missing. An ETA would be appreciated even if it slips. As it stands Its an excellent product which would be even better if these minor issues were fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mac Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 All, We who bought this product love it and fly it despite the above issues. In my humble opinion many of these issues could have been dealt with if you had a larger beta test team. A small group will invariably miss things. It is a product for VFR and therefore VFR landmarks should not have been missed. Why not put out a call for people who live in these areas and get them to test? Just an idea! John.
