John Venema Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 TE Germany was not on any official list, nor have we shown previews of it. We would like to do TE Germany of course, it's our 3rd biggest market after USA and UK, but it depends on resources available and data as well. Any questions about TE regions can be answered like this: Yes, of course we want to do it. It will take time, but eventually we'll get around to it. We are focusing on the areas we know will produce the revenues to continue to feed R&D back into the TE projects. Once those are done we can focus on regions we'd love to do because of their scenic value. Please take note of my disclaimer at the start of the topic. Anything listed is not a promise to deliver, but our intent to want to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely disappointed with this news... Was counting on PNW and hoping for GB but now we may not get either...? Just a few airports...? I fully understand the decision but it's very disappointing nonetheless. Specially because Aerofly FS 2 is my number 1 scenery sim and I stopped buying scenery completely for my other sims. I actually planned to only buy TrueEarth sceneries for AFS2 but after reading this news I immediately bought KPSP (with a nice discount) which was the only Orbx AFS2 addon I didn't own yet. (So at least one good thing came out of this bad news. ) What a shame... I had such high hopes. But now not only IPACS is letting me down but also Orbx. I hope at LEAST GB will be released for AFS2 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope at LEAST GB will be released for AFS2 anyway. I felt the same way, AFS 2 has a whole lot of potential but it needs some high quality 3rd party developers to jump on board to catch up with the "big ones" P3D and X-plane 11. I understand that the user number is small but it will only get bigger if there are high quality sceneries and aircraft available. It probably also needs some good freeware designers to make it more attractive for newcomers. I had hopes that ORBX getting involved would cause more people to check out the platform, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work that way. Still hoping to see a few Regions ported to AFS 2, its performance is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 As a P3D user I am very happy with the list, but I must have missed the Q-date for release of Aus2.

thestig Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I must say am absolutely loving the XP 11 TrueEarth GB South/central sceneries and eagerly looking forward to the north to finish off GB. I understand John saying 'The majority of new content we're working on now is for Prepar3D. This is still the dominant platform' But I also realise that XP 11 has now got its foot well and truly in the ORBX door, so will look forward and continue to support/purchase as many XP11 orbx add-ons as i can to encourage further development in this direction. I think the way forward with any of these sims is definitely the 'True Earth-ortho-orbx' combination, the extra realism from these photo sceneries with the magical touch from ORBX is the real icing on the simulation cake. So a BIG thank you from me to a great company, here's looking forward to many more years of flight sim ORBX heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sun_king_135 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'm still hoping for LC Asia and perhaps some areas in the likes of FTX eg Malaysia and Singapore or a Cityscape Singapore. Is there anything known of since it has been a long time since LC was focused last. Me, too, can't and won't want to afford more HD space for the True Earth (TE) sceneries, which are great, but more for local simmers who live there or have bonds to that areas. In my opinion TE is more than suitable for Aerofly FS 2, since that Sim is based on that type of sceneries, whereas P3D v4+ is more the FTX like of sceneries in due respect for the fps and or in combination with flying airliners of PMDG or FSL which are very hefty on their own. Thanks anyway for Roadmap 2019 which just shows that there's a future for P3D and raises the excitement for many new and innovative products from your company. My P3D setup is mainly based on your products by the way. Kind regards and merry Christmas to you, your staff and your beloved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth78 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Being that my flying tendencies put me squarely on the "FTX+OLC" side of the "argument", I second the concerns that those lines will get put on the back burner, or worse, abandoned with the advent of TE. Especially OLC, when it's oooh-so-close to global coverage. I'm not saying such has been said nor am I intent on speculating, but just the same I feel it's a legitimate concern. TE just isn't for me. That said, if you were to offer a TE of Western half of NY State (an area roughly 1/2 or so of TE Netherlands), I would snatch that up in a heartbeat, seasons or no seasons (though such an offering would be sacrilege without snow on the ground)! Of course, I also understand that such a project would probably have a priority such that its release date would fall somewhere in the mid-2300s! In the end, to each their own and I respect the decision regardless. Looking forward to the 2019 offerings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
