Africa is really lacking payware, but it should be tested if it pays off for the developers as well. I would be in for some places, if I might say... Hi Gerold So far there are some good sceneries done by 3rd pty , if interested: Algiers DAAG Cape Verde MARSA-ALAM Sharm El-Sheikh Mauritius Mayotte Al-Massira REUNION DAKAR Cape Town Djerba Enfidha Tromelin Nouakchott and some others, though we cannot tell the developer.

Eberhard Haberkorn Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 This is a great resource for populating Namibia and Botswana with small airfields, that are not included in the default sim. These are afcad files only with limited buildings, but nevertheless for bush flying these will suffice. Namibia and Botswana airfields by David Atkinson Maybe, there will be a designer that will put some "body" to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F737MAX Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 FlightSim.com's library is temperamental when linking files. Search their library instead for botswana_airports.zip and namibia_airports.zip, plus object_libraries.zip There are 2 updates for each scenery. Some Emmsie photos sooner rather than later of Africa would go down a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that projects change, but I feel a little saddened that some major exciting parts of the Middle East are now not on the list. This was shown as the original scope of the product: There are going to be some rather notable incongruencies in textures and appearance between neighbouring countries over a very busy flight corridor covered differently by OLC Africa and by Global. I mean, take a look at satellite images of Iran and see how geographically fascinating the country is, in comparison to its immediate neighbours to its southwest. So, how about a separate OLC Middle East product? I suppose the trouble is that I, and others, always want more from Orbx. Africa being back on track is fantastic news.

Eric D. Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Thank you Orbx for finishing Africa after all! And I guess doing Asia afterwards will make everyone happy... I couldn't resist attaching a map of Asia (courtesy Encyclopaedia Britannica). As Nick stated above, The Arabian Peninsula - although part of Western Asia - might be included in Africa. Everything east of that would definitely make sense to be covered in LC Asia. Go Orbx go! ;-) Greetings Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Well I wasn't expecting anything else than Africa so having the Arabic peninsula is a plus that make me happy, I just hope the sand colors match the 3rd pty products. Maybe when Asia is launched these Mediterranean countries could be added. Or maybe they'll do just the middle east for those..who knows but in time they will be considered Meanwhile some of these have amazing photo sceneries (free) in case you'd like to upgrade the area while Orbx does theirs. If you want the link send me a PM Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed historical, geographical and political interesting. Very diverse in landscapes, mysterious, off the beaten track countries to explore, rare and vast I think OLC Africa and Asia will be a success after all and despite the announcement of FS2020. I think this is cool and should take advantage. Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, I see, you obviously don't know the facts so let me explain. This particular openLC was marketed by ORBX as "openLC Africa/Middle East" from the beginning. If you look at the map that ORBX produced showing all the openLC products' coverage areas, the Middle East is indeed included as a single Africa and Middle East product.

Captain Lars Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I wouldn't mind having OpenLC Asia split in two or three pieces and pay the full price for each if it would only be released. E. g. Middle East & India, China & South East Asia, North & Central Asia. OpenLCs are still one of the most valuable Addons with the most "bang for your buck".
