Aimee Sanjari Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Good news for P3Dv4 pilots - we are days away from releasing v1.1 of TrueEarth GB South for P3Dv4 as a free update to all those who own the software. The change is shorter than the XP version, but that is mostly because the POIs that were included in SP1 for X-Plane were already included in the P3D version. We have mostly focused on optimization and the addition of a panel which allows you more granular control over the objects in the package. Most of these fixes and additions were things you requested, so as always, thank you all for your support and feedback! We have added a Control Panel which allows you to manage more than 135,000 objects Autogen buildings have been revised and optimized to more accurately reflecting the region Adjustments and corrections have been made to the models of custom footprint buildings. Fixed various user reported bugs Updating to 1.1 will be a simple process using Orbx Central so you can get up in the air with minimal hassle. You can look forward to the update being released soon - if you don't have TrueEarth GB South for P3Dv4, you can pick it up here. Have a good one!

Benny Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I Aimee, when possible, when you post about update could you say what is the size (about) of the update. I know that most people have fast and unlimited internet at home but a few us us don't, especially when talking about TE scenery Many thanks, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcannon83 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Great news on the update, is there a changelog and is one of the fixes, being the removal of jetways from uk2000 airports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F737MAX Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Good to hear P3D is not far off receiving an update! I too would like there to be a changelog, so that we can see what has been included. P3D did indeed receive some extra POIs ahead of XP, however, there is now a substantial list of outstanding models for P3D following XP's SP1 release, e.g. most stadia, several castles, Dungeness Power Station, additional London tall buildings, among others. I feel that seeing a changelog would lessen any over-anticipation by us simmers if this update is more of a fix rather than "SP1", which is not how it is being described.

Felipe M Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Great news!. Correction of autogen overlay over objects and missing autogen around ORBX UK airports will be included on this update to correct the compatibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danm1980 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Will there be a winter texture update at some point as hesitant to buy it yet?. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The imminent release of TrueEarth GB South v1.1 is indeed good news! Thanks, Orbx! The Control Panel will be much appreciated as well as the other fixes including the revision of the autogen. I do know that many of the POIs (but not all) newly added by the XP11 SP1 version of TE GB South were already in the original P3Dv4 release of TrueEarth GB South and that was a real plus for P3Dv4 users though I have not had time to see most of them yet. Based on F737NG's previous post in this thread, I checked my list of the 140 Castles and Forts or so that I have already verified were included with the object libraries that came with the initial TE GB South for P3Dv4 release. I now realize that there are at least 20 new castles in the XP11 SP1 344 POI list that were not in the original P3Dv4 release of TE GB South for P3Dv4. So, along with other POIs that F737NG mentioned, there are many POIs listed on the XP11 SP1 344 POI list that were not in the original P3Dv4 release. I am truly excited that so many more POIs will still be coming! Not many companies would add so many additional objects at no extra charge. Thank you , Orbx! Since Aimee did not mention additional POIs coming in v1.1, I am assuming I will be waiting a bit longer for these additional POIs along with the associated PBR capabilities. That is not a problem for me. Meanwhile, v1.1 will deliver the much-needed Control Panel and fixes which willl re-energize me to begin flying many VFR flights with optimized FPS and revised autogen, enjoying the fabulous scenery while trying to visually find and inspect the 140 castles and forts, the cities, the little towns/villages, the rivers, the bridges, the airfields, the lighthouses along the coasts and so many other sights to see in this beautiful scenery. So much to see and so little time.....and there is much more to come! Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Thanks, ORBX for the v1.1 update for TE GB South for P3Dv4. The Control Panel works and allows me to reduce load when flying in London which improves my frame rates. When I am outside London I usually leave most of the control panel checked. The autogen seems to fit in better for me though I haven't been able to make direct comparisons to the old autogen. The Clifton Bridge is fixed! Yay! The only other model fixes I was looking for, which are not in the update, were the problems with the extrusion bridge overlays on the Brunel Bridge and Calstock Viaduct and the fact that the Brunel bridge does not reach the terrain on either end. I have reported these issues today in the support thread. Hopefully, you will get them corrected in the next update. Meanwhile, since I am a scenery developer, I created my own temporary patch to fix the above problems. Once fixed, the Brunel Bridge and Calstock Viaduct do look beautiful. See pics below: If anyone wants a copy of my temporary patch, feel free to PM me. It is freeware and easy to add! Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Low Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The Tamar Road Bridge looks a bit odd in those screenshots. The towers do not seem to be high enough above the road deck. If this is how it looks for everyone else, then I would suggest that we need a fix to correct this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto2 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Kevin is quite correct that an extrusion bridge overlays the Tamar Bridge model (which could use taller towers as Christopher mentioned). In my patch, I did not remove that extrusion bridge because the busy traffic would then run across the water down below which looks a lot worse than the two extra white columns. I did forget to report that problem but I will now. Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto2 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Thanks, Kevin, for the feedback! For anyone else that wants a temporary, simple add on file patch to correct the uneeded and visually disruptive extrusion bridge overlays on the Brunel Bridge and Calstock Viaduct as well as an add on file patch that ensures the terrain meets both ends of the Brunel bridge, here is the link for those patches with instructions included: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pvj0z3tequft4d8/Temp Calstock %26 Brunel Patches.zip?dl=0 Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of graphical representation issues with the Tamar Bridge that you had already mentioned, but much better than before. Looks good, thanks very much for the patch!

Christopher Low Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Quote It appears to be an extrusion bridge lashed together with some modelling.... Not really what I would expect for one of the iconic bridges of the British Isles. It needs a detailed bespoke 3D model.....and I would argue that this should be the case for all of the other large bridges and viaducts throughout the UK. I do not expect to see them all appear as if by magic, but I would hope that this could be a target for future updates. Large bridges are just about the most visible and important examples of 3D landmarks, since they can be seen from considerable distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur, For example in the Birmingham area, after the XP 11 SP1 update, the football club stadiums of BCFC, AVFC & WBA were improved. It was announced that the P3D version would already have these XP 11 landmark SP1 improvements at initial release and I'm still not seeing the improvements even after the P3D SP1 update.
