At >USD25 per sq km for commercial licenses even a relatively small island like Oahu would cost too much to fully cover. out of pure interest, Holger, would there be any available Oahu photo-real hi-res imagery available without embedded clouds on the landscape?... i made, a few months ago, some Hawaii Ortho4XP tiles & all the Bing & Google data i could find had this problem... just checked with latest FlyInside sim & exactly the same problem (with active Bing streamed scenery data)... just curious to know... your new Orbx Oahu package looks very good & with a heap of detailed modelling work included... cheers!

ikbenik Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 What an incredible good looking addition, a very fine area for leisure-VFR flights around over Oahu. Congrats to the developpers for this magnificent made scenery. Looking forward to the release and will be for shure part of my Orbx-addon's.

dominique Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 It certainly looks better than what we have now ! I think of two questions : - will the military airfields have the full treatment ? In the past, Orbx was pretty much shying away of doing much for them. - as orthos are so expensive, why not make a LC region in Hawaii as you used to ?

Looks very nice though and I just hope the free Hawaii-Photoreal can be added for a full Oahu Island photoreal experience. Nice to hear the FSDT Honolulu and Bills Dillingham will be compatible, I am the proud owner of both And I am 100% on LANDCLASS side No hard feelings & Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikael Cedergren Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 None taken... I am a VFR pilot in sim and in real life so personally anything not photoreal is just not good enough for VFR purpose in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it have to be installed with ORBX Central? As it says at the product page at Orbxdirect.com, it requires Orbx Central. If you're not getting products because you're welded on to FTX Central, there's no reason to hold off. Once you have downloaded Orbx Central your entire existing structure can remain in place, untouched for evermore. You don't need to migrate any sceneries. However because P3DV4 has changed its spots, new sceneries require the P3DV4 compatible installs. And I have not found any conflicts between the newer xml sceneries in the P3D library, my old FTX Central scenery.cfg remains in place, and the newer ones look after themselves without affecting the older library.

Harald.Nowak Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think the question wether this can be combined with Fligh Sim Jewels Oahu scenery is still open - the question is not so much geared towards the George Keogh airports but to the excellent photoscenery of Flight Sim Jewels. I don't want to change that beautiful phtoscenery for ground that is in part landclass based (with visible cuts between landclasses), but I could sure need a better city of Oahu. Can that be combined and if so how? (i.e. how do I prevent the landclasses from takeing precedence over my photoscenery). Autogen only for example? Or Photoscenery where Orbx has it, but not touching those parts where it has only landclass, so the lower level photoscenery of Flight Sim Jewels can shine through?

Holger Sandmann Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi Harald, Quote I think the question whether this can be combined with Fligh Sim Jewels Oahu scenery is still open the FSJ package can be combined with CS Honolulu; see https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/179917-cityscape-honolulu-compatibility-index/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still unsure though as to the following: will I be able to keep the photoscenery for Oahu instead of the landclass based groundscenery, if I have FSJ at a lower level than Orbx CS (as recommended in that thread)? I would have expected the landclass based scenery to cover the photoscenery then. Would there maybe also be a way to JUST use the Oahu citiscape and leave that rest of the island untouched?

Holger Sandmann Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi Harald, actually, photoreal coverage always overwrites landclass ground textures, regardless of display priority. Thus, my instructions in the compatibility thread are what you're proposing, meaning CS Honolulu with the FSJ photoreal coverage for the rest of Oahu. That being said you may want to check out both options before making a final decision. The advantage of our landclass coverage of Oahu is that it has much denser vegetation autogen and more authentic tree types as well as building facades and roof types.

fmorgenstern Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hi. I wonder whether anyone has any guidance on how to correct the elevation of the runway at PHDH Dillingham. I have followed the directions provided in the forum, including the flatten file provided, and I ran the elevation correction process in Vector, but still no luck. I have the FSJ package installed and have removed/reordered the appropriate files. Maybe Dillingham should appear below CS Honolulu in the scenery library? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmorgenstern Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks. I confirmed that this file was installed, but the runway is still higher than the apron and taxiway, which appear to be lower than the ground surrounding the airport. I’m stumped.
