st1322 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hi, Airports mentioned in the title are both in UK and the product page states that True Earth is required... Did anyone try to use those airports WITHOUT true earth product? I’m very interested in those two ones but... the requirement. I have both negative and positive experience myself with such requirements. In P3D I have a product that failed to work without the required while another worked just fine. Anyone maybe can comment, advice? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Cedergren Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 EGPB does not work properly with True Earth GB North from my experience in p3d. For starters there are seasons with snow in winter with the Sumbugh airport addon, but TE is summer only so it looks very strange in winter with TE North active. Secondly there seem to be some elevation issues. Orbx does not claim from what I can see on the Sumburgh purchase page that it is compatible with TE North so I don't hold it against them at all, but it would be nice with a patch since its their own product. I have spoken with both the UK2000 people and the Sim 720 people and Gary from UK2000 will look in to adjust the ground so his airports will blend with TE GB soon. The Sim720 people made a quick fix instantly yesterday when I told them of the problem (amazing customer service). They now have a selection in their configuration for Stornoway and Oban airport where you can select True Earth and you will see no snow in winter.

st1322 Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 But EGPB is Orbx product and apparently it requires true earth, something I can live without. I was hoping for any chances to work without it. I can live with minor glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hello, to be honest, I do not know the answer. You need someone with X Plane 11 or Jon Clarke to advise you. I think Flygsidan has advised you on the P3D v4 product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Cedergren Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 True I did not see this was regarding the X-plane version :) I know nothing about X-plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st1322 Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Thanks guys for comments. Nick, do you think that Jon can tune in to this question anytime near? I’m not going to hide that I plan to take advantage of current offer Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using P3D I tried uninstalling / reinstalling EGPB & cannot see the TE GB N link in the config panel to remove the winter snow Ive only recently gone over to using Orbx Central so obviously i'm doing something wrong. Perhaps you would share Sim 720's fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hello, please do not be confused. The answer at post 2 is for P3D v4. Orbx have not provided switches for seasons or indeed any other kid of compatibility with TEGB for these payware EGxx addon airports in P3D v4. If you have someone else's EGPB, then please go to their forum for your answer. This is the X Plane 11 support forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Yes it will work fine but with one minor anomaly that I can see. The 2 pics below show that anomaly: With no TEGB North installed: With TEGB North INSTALLED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jones Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 In XP11 without TrueEarth, the most notable anomaly you'll see is the dry stone walls will not conform to the terrain correctly. There'll also be elevated platform around the ends of the runway (I can't remember the designation) that extends into the water. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st1322 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Thanks gentlemen. I’ll think about it but most likely I’ll jump into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
