John Venema Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying the fruits of our labour with TEGB Central! I am looking forward to seeing your screenshots and watching your videos. However, we have more work to do. In addition to SP1's for TE Netherlands, GB South and GB Central being worked on right now, we have already made good progress on TE GB North. We are hoping to license 10M elevation mesh to make the Scottish Highlands area just stunning to explore. Here are a few cheeky shots that TonyW made for me a few days ago. Notice how the clarity of the ortho improves the further we go north? Obviously our data provider improved their QA as they progressed further north with their aircraft, and the results are impressive. The last one is my current desktop wallpaper. Just to remind me we have more work to to ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthijs Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Amazing work! Can’t wait to see other country’s and regions. And of course still hoping/dreaming of an TE Netherlands XP solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie_FDX Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Terrific! Truly outstanding work here! @John Venema Please let me know in case you need a beta tester running Linux. I did encounter various minor Linux-related problems with your products thus far (mostly related to case sensitivity) but also some bigger problems. E.g. I needed a Windows system to actually open the cross platform file for TEGB Central, which is totally odd. Anyway, congrats to the whole team!

Not sure if people would be happy with that though. Perhaps a poll to see what interest there is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I am currently downloading TE GB Central now and have been greatly enjoying GB South for the last couple weeks. Most impressive are the very accurate forests and trees. Must be a lot of manual editing? Great work Tony and the Orbx team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I hate to rain on the parade but I first noticed with 'South', moreso with 'Central' and, from what we sneakpeeked, definitely in "North' - the photoscenery areas, not covered with autogen are showing up distractingly white. Don't suppose there's a way to tone that down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Yes there is olderndirt. I hate to rain on your parade, but you need to tone down your shader settings severely. Based on your screenshots here: You are using shader settings that completely oversaturate the ground imagery and I am hardly suprised that beige or chalk hills are turning white in you sim. Try disabling your shaders mid-flight and you will see the original colour balance and tones of TE regions contains no white hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0emf Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi, have you got a "rough" idea of the size TE North will be installed on the drive Just trying to workout if I will be able to fit TE South, Central, North + Xplane on a 500gb M.2 drive Thanks PS Cracking job with TE Central John.

John Venema Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Rough estimate is 150GB needed after decompression by FTX Central. This may vary by +/- 5GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0emf Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thanks John. That's doable on a 500gb M.2 then. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matabhaine Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I bought Orbx TrueEarth South as soon as I saw it, (Just bought central as well, these are my first Orbx purchases) I was an X-plane 10 user and use X-plane 11 now. I read a quick review of TrueEarth Netherlands and in my haste and excitement, I rushed and bought that to, only to find it is for P3D (written in dark text at the base of the form) it was not helpful stating that if you buy an item by accident then be more careful next time.

vipgroup Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I will second the call for Inverness. And when you are doing the Loch Ness area, please do a nice job on Fort Augustus with the rising locks of the Caledonian canal, the abbey, etc. My former home!
