Ed Correia Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Our next TrueEarth product to present for P3D is the stunning Northern California! TrueEarth US Northern California builds on the years of research and development as well as countless hours of crafting together one of the most stunning and diverse regions in North America and is now almost ready for P3Dv4+. Take off from across the sprawling region and explore to your heart’s content with over 240,000 square kilometres of detailed ground imagery and accurately placed autogen. The wide range of landscapes, detailed mountains and stunning coastlines will redefine how you travel across the state in Prepar3D. Working to bring a truly immersive experience, TrueEarth US Northern California takes a data-driven approach to accurately placing millions of trees, buildings and points of interest throughout the region. If you love flying across varied environments and stunning landscapes, Northern California will give you everything you desire and more. Famous for its diverse range of places to explore, you’ll never be bored seeking the next place to visit. TrueEarth US Northern California features Yosemite National Park, famous for its stunning valleys and flower-covered meadows, or take a cruise up the Californian coast and watch as the sunshine bounces off the water. The sights you will see will be truly breathtaking. Perhaps you want a more urban experience? The beautiful cityscape of San Francisco has been fully modelled for a detailed rendition of the City by the Bay. Set yourself the challenge of finding everything there is to see in Northern California.

Ticker7 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Great looking scenery as usual just wish you didn't use the haze effects or misty weather in the videos as to me it makes it look a little blurred compared to the screenshots but still looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianThePilot Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Very excited to practice my IRL vfr flying here. Is the vram usage heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks Ed, this has been high up on my wish-list. The NCA SF Bay Area has been my test bed for all sorts of fun/investigation/issues in Prepar3d, but became a bit dated over the years. Teaser images make me keen for a fresh journey. Happy to see the area around Jarrad's stunning Monterey included. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckOman Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Beautiful scenery Ed. But can TrueEarth Northern California coexist with Orbx's Northern California regional scenery ? If I have to deinstall my Northern California region, won't I lose all the small NCA airports with their wonderful details? Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot82 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello Orbx Team, can I install this over the Old NCA (without performance lost) or do I have to uninstall it? cause, the TE does not cover all the area in the North and Im not intereted in Oregon or any othe Region later on, cuz Ms2020 will probably arrive soon.

medx421 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Love the POI's and cityscapes. Can we just have those on the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianThePilot Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 This is an amazing product. As a local Norcal aviator from Livermore Municipal IRL, this is absolutely fantastic. All of the VFR waypoints are there. Great job team. Recommending this to everybody I know. And performance is stunning (in v5 at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My i7 4770 and my GTX 1070 suffered on San Francisco area, but heading north, it's a kind of relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
