Psionmark Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi all. My apologies if this is FAQ but I couldn’t spot anything. Is there a list of POI’s for the various TrueEarth packages? I love just exploring, but with such vast areas covered, it’d be neat to know about the really detailed areas to go visit when I don’t have much time to fly.

I did find those threads earlier but assumed from the title (and now looking through them) that these are requested POI’s rather than necessarily actual POI’s in the scenery - is that correct? A good starting point for me, either way, so thanks again Regards, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto2 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 After having tested several, I can say from experience that there is no guarantee that a POI request in those POI request and photo submission topics (even if an OK was given) will appear in the associated TE product when it is released.

Psionmark Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks for all the replies. Guess my original question still stands then (slightly reworded!) e.g. does anyone know of a list of POI’s known to be in the released packages? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 You have to see those POIs as kinda easter eggs. Go and find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto2 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Attached is my list of many of the Castles, Forts and Bldg POIs custom modeled by Orbx in TE GB South. This list does not include all of the modeled POIs (e.g. stadiums etc.). I have, however, visually inspected most of the models on the list using P3Dv4. I am pretty sure XP11 has all of these plus a few more. Rod TE GB South Alpha Order Castles, Forts, POI Bldgs.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorb375 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Here's some lists of POIs derived from previous Orbx POI request threads. In KML format suitable for viewing in Google Earth and in a CSV format that can be imported directly into Little Navmap, Plan G or Avitab. The UK list has been curated. Merged from all KMZ/KML files I could find on the Orbx POI request threads for South, Central and North. Both Orbx posted and user requests, whether accepted or not. I added some extra POIs, pruned a little in dense city areas and then in the CSV the POIs are classified. The USA based lists are similarly extracted from Orbx POI request threads, but although I've merged all KML/KMZ files, I've spent very little time curating. You will get most out of the lists if you're using Orbx TE regions for XPlane, since many of the structures will have been explicitly modelled. However, it should also be useful for others running e.g. MSFS with Little Navmap POI_CSVs_20211108.zip 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
