Caribbflyer Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Silly questions but how do I know this has been installed properly? Should I notice a difference? All the autogen looks the same as before. I took some screen grabs of the NE USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Examine some of the storefront facades, even some those of the taller buildings. Examine the rooftops of many of those buildings. Those aren't default textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ols500 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I asked for a refund, didn't get one lol. I love orbx products, but come on? I'm only 15 and get very little money, a refund would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbflyer Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Yes, but are these from orbx? I noticed the Buildings HD scenery is locked at 216 on the priority list. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hello, perhaps you can test for yourself. Place your aircraft where you can see some autogen buildings, take a screen shot and then disable the addon. Restart P3D and compare what you see then with your screen shot.

Scott Armstrong Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi Caribbflyer, Yes, those buildings are displaying the new Buildings HD textures, and it looks like your installation is functioning properly. As Nick suggested, I invite you to do a direct comparison yourself; you should be able to see that the new textures are much more detailed when viewed up close as in shot #1. Save a flight with a good view of some buildings, and take a screenshot. Disable BHD (assuming you're running P3D4) by going to Options > Add-ons, and unchecking Orbx Buildings HD, and clicking OK. Restart the sim and load the flight you previously saved; you should see the default textures. Take a screenshot and compare the Before and After shots; you should notice the new textures with increase in detail, Ambient Occlusions shadows, and (in many cases) better regional authenticity. I will say that the default Orbx OLC NA textures were already a pretty good representation of North American buildings, but when compared side-by-side I think you will find the new ones to be a definite improvement. Cheers, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobsk8 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Is this listed in the scenery library, if installed properly. I have P3D V 3.4 and I see no mention of it in the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 In P3D v4 yes, in FSX, no. In P3D v3, I don't know, does it use the xml method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it does, but I have looked all over and can't find any mention of Buildings HD or anything close to it. Is there no simple way to determine if was installed or not???

Nick Cooper Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I think that it adds a BuildingsHD folder to ORBX\scripts in all cases. What is in there depends on the simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I just found in it scripts and was going to post on here. So it looks like it was installed correctly.. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stout Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hi Guys, I have just one question. I am all about ORBX products as they have changed my sim world for the better by ten fold. I fly high for a virtual airline and usually only see building on short final. I love eye candy and with that being said is "Building HD" a good buy for me? I fly the 738 exclusively with a SST. Thanks..... Mike Stout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbflyer Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 It appears everything is working correctly. The detail in the texture and architecture are better than anything I've seen. My next question is, does the Buildings setting need to be set to max to see all of the product? I'm going by what the setup instructions said but I haven't seen any of those fast food restaurants in the screenshots. I imagine they would be fairly ubiquitous. Thanks for all the responses.

Hardly notice the difference to be honest, sounds good on paper, not when flying though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
