Orbx12 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I have installed P3Dv5 - HF2 and am now starting to populate v5 with Orbx and other add-ons as they become available with v5 installers. I am wondering if I need all of them. For example, I own: Orbx Global Base Pack Orbx Global Buildings HD Orbx Global Trees HD Orbx Global Vector Orbx Global Open LC North America PILOTS FS GLOBAL 2018 Mesh Orbx Region Pacific Northwest Orbx Region Northern California Drzewiecki Seattle Airports and Seattle City Orbx Sequim Valley Airfield Orbx Cityscape Portland Flightbeam KPDX What will True Earth US Washington and True Earth US Oregon add to my simming experience? Will they make some of the things I already have unnecessary? After V5 was released, I can remember seeing posts that Orbx Global Vector wasn't even going to be released for v5 (it obviously has been) and that PILOT's mesh was no longer needed. What is Orbx's take on the mesh issue? Thanks, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hello Stephen, the True earth products are photo scenery and you should view the product pages and decide whether they are for you. The reasons for the change of direction on Vector are made clear in the Release Announcement. I have neither read of nor can I comment on Pilot's mesh, which has nothing to do with Orbx. In general terms, enhanced mesh usually improves the simulator experience and is included in all Orbx regions, except the two Ireland products.

Orbx12 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi Nick, Thanks for your reply. I had missed the release announcement on Vector but now have much clearer understanding of your v5 release. Do you know if the enhanced mesh in Orbx regions supersedes any other mesh installed? Thanks, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hello, the highest resolution mesh is displayed. The regions' mesh is tailored to the region and vice versa so it should give the best results. We have seen support requests where a higher resolution mesh has been added and introduced a few anomalies, mainly around Orbx airport boundaries that had been carefully matched to the surrounding mesh.
