BaronKen Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 JV, sure hope ORBX is considering porting this to AFS2! Instant purchase for me and many others I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 FPS is about 25-27fps with all sliders pulled back one notch. I just created a “London” settings profile that I am still tweaking but there’s no reason you can’t run this at 30fps locked with careful slider management.

Looks great! Couple of points before release I think should be dealt with and can be easily done... The building circled red should be removed - it was demolished and replaced by this back in 2014 (here's a better picture of the replacement). It appears that the yellow circled building needs to be rotated so that it is aligned with Blackfriars Bridge and the side with the large bulge points South. Release can't be too far away, it seems.

FireRx Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 John, Will we be having to switch off stuff to make this work? After the Orlando it's better to ask upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally no. However it is true that switching off un-needed scenery entries before any flight saves loading time. With freeware scenery managers it's a breeze. But the TE sceneries don't have anywhere near the loading times of the Cityscapes if the scenery entries are untouched. My TE GB South loads in about 3 minutes, so the short answer to your question is No, you won't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 There is a pause at 6% to load TEGB in London, but generally loading time is under 3 mins for me. You need to set your expectations for such a vast city full of objects. I would say most people need to pull back their autogen sliders, turn shadows off and keep pulling back sliders until their FPS is acceptable. Fortunately P3D has an easy way to save your settings so you can simply save, then pull up a “London” profile before loading a flight there.

I would much rather Orbx create scenery that is created for future hardware and requires slider compromises now,than will run at full complexity on todays hardware but will never be able to improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeroflux Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I fly in VR...only...anything with that frame count is of no interest to me. It looks that more and more people favour VR nowadays so as someone here suggested porting to FS2 will be very nice indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should imagine that frame rate is only encountered in very dense urban environments and not everywhere across the scenery :) Even now hardware is still the limiting factor when it comes to scenery complexity and usability...the good thing is hardware is continually getting better and it should only be a relatively short time before what is unuseablr in any use case now, becomes useable in the future with new kit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying_fish Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Looks very very good - this must have taken many many hours of painstaking work; what an achievement! It may be the way the shots were taken but photos 4 and 5 seem to show Westminster Bridge truncated at Portcullis House? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John is this going to be compatible with UK2000 EGLL, or will the Orbx version of the airport be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
