AKar Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Damn guys - this was effectively suspended indefinitely and at least most of it is apparently back on track to get eventually released. I think I can settle for the mainland, major islands and Arabic peninsula basically for time being.

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.

YAMBA1 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 12 hours ago, Captain Lars said: 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. Totally agree with that suggestion ORBX then could go one step further and call them Regions with full details . After all haven't ORBX done that with New Zealand North & South and to some lesser degree with PNG with Kokoda & Tapini . Those 4 sceneries are excellent products .

YAMBA1 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 On the top of the 33 Countries in Africa , it looks like ORBX has also included some middle east countries , like Yemen, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Lebanon, Oman and the UAE, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmb Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 This is totally fine with me, thanks. However, I am getting a bit worried now that no further beta screenshots are turning up as it's been common with other products in beta stage.

AKar Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 5 hours ago, Ed Correia said: Extent of openLC Africa: [map] So Réunion and Mauritius are indeed included, and apparently Seychelles, and Comoro islands as well. Basically, just about all important islands around Africa. Which is great! I'm really looking forward to this! If OpenLC was ever to be continued after this release, it would kind of make sense to split Asia differently than previously planned. Like, Asia West and Asia East, the division going to north from area between Kazakhstan and Mongolia, and then south along the eastern border of China, and India being in either in West or East. So, the "West" would have all the Middle East, Georgia, some of the missing Russian cities and the Caspian region as "attractions", while the "East" would include China, Koreas, Japan and other obvious areas as its. Anyways, that's just wishes and speculations, happy get the Africa added at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave302 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Yes, I generally agree that this is certainly great news that at least we will finally have openLC Africa, and I'm pleasantly surprised that the Canary Islands, Madeira, Cape Verde, and even the Azores are included. Having said that, looking at the openLC Europe coverage and how far east it goes, i.e. Turkey's eastern border, it is clear and logical that Iraq, Syria, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon should have been included. I find it almost ridiculous that they were not, especially considering the relatively small area compared to the vast Africa coverage. Oh well, of course I will buy this, but I will always remain disappointed with ORBX's failure to complete the openLC scenery after so many years of waiting. That's all I will say on this matter. Now let's hope for some more screenshots and actual release ASAP. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Pardon me, but according to normal geography, this is Africa. So why the speculations about Middle East? Just wait until the LC Africa is released and you will know what is included. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenstt Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Why haven't there been any more screenshots? Usually after a product enters beta stage it gets released quite soon I've noticed.. Are there problems with the product again? After everything that happened I'm starting to get a bit paranoid regarding the release of this product.
