EGHI Southampton on short finals!

[John Venema]

Hello everyone,

 

We are just finishing up the final testing of EGHI Southampton before it's release. Expect Emmsie's final shots very soon, but meantime here are a few snaps from my quick testing:

 

 

This is stock XP11 running on my laptop with Ultra Weather XP providing clouds, lighting and atmosphere settings. Note I don't have any AI traffic package installed so you're seeing XP's best default estimates here. With WT3 the airport should come alive.

 

Hopefully our debut UK airport for XP11 will be in your hands soon!

[Dusterman]

JV -  What about EGCB?  As an American, I admit my geographical knowledge of Great Britain isn't the best, but it seems to me that EGCB was the debut airport for XP11. Perhaps Southampton should be touted as the first ported Orbx ported airport for XP11. Looking forward to more GB airports being ported as well as some original XP11 airports.  Thanks for giving XP11 all this love.

[John Venema]

First non-grass strip, so ‘airport’ versus ‘airfield’

 

[FILOU]

The first shot look amazing John.Perfect balance!

[Orbxtreme]

Extremely realistic atmosphere, all in soft tones and with the natural haze that we see as we climb higher and higher (in the last shot). That is an excellent product. Well done!!

[Ray Harding]

My money is ready and waiting!

A really short final. It is in the shop.

Same here!

 

Started a thread also:

 

 

[MartinHannon]

Did you guys with errors download the library or TrueEarth GB as well?

I have had TrueEarth GB South installed before I installed EGHI. Which library are you referring to?

[Dadtom65]

Yes I saw that there is a new Orbx freeware libraries you can download for Xplane. Derek.

[MartinHannon]

This one: https://orbxdirect.com/product/orbxlibs-xp11

[Dadtom65]

It will be in the Freeware section. Which could be the problems some of you are having.

Ok, thank you! That's something I didn't noticed that we need. I'm trying now and reporting back...

[Longranger241]

I really wonder: Wouldn,'t it be a good idea if FTX Central might solve these dependencies by itself?

 

[Pilot]

Ok! The library fixed the error message and I know get static aircraft. The only remaining issue is the 3d grass which does not look like in the screenshots in various locations.

[waeln]

great library fixed error thnx

[Ray Harding]

Me too!

 

[lauriebe]

Downloaded and installed a short while ago. Also came across the same errors mentioned above.  After downloading the library all is as it should be.

 

Excellent scenery.  Thanks Orbx.

[John Venema]

The product page for EGHI clearly shows you need the Orbxlibs for XP.

 

We have updated the announcement topic to make this clearer.

 

There is no issue with the grass, it had problems during beta testing so we replaced the models before release.

I thought exactly the same Filou.  This shot really looks like a photo.  I just noticed why it looked kind of familiar to me - the lighting, clouds and sky colours look remarkably similar to a couple of my favourite photos, which I took at YSSY.  I actually use the second one as a screensaver on my phone .

 

 

 

 

 

I have often heard that the lighting is superb in X Plane 11 and from what I have seen since installing it recently I would have to agree.

 

Cheers,

 

[Mike707]

That first pic is just stunning.

[Gussgull]

what weather program thanks

[John Venema]

Ultra Weather XP

[Rob Abernathy]

Hope you don't mind I saved those two pics just posted Scott!   Will make a great screensaver, with your permission.

Looks like I'll take the XP11 plunge a little deeper and try a few addons.  

[Scott Harmes]

Of course Rob .  I'll send you some more if you want.  I took about 1000 pics that day .

[Gussgull]

just ultimate weather that sky looks stunning reshade ?

 

[John Venema]

No ReShade, just Ultra Weather XP. I set it to randomise sky colour and clouds on every sim start so every flight looks unique.
