Der Zeitgeist Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Very nice, touching up the non-photogrammetry cities with landmark buildings at this price sounds great! So we will get London City, Heathrow, and the actual cityscape in high detail right around release.

alexf Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Awesome news! I left FSX many years ago and went to other games. I am back, eagerly awaiting FS2020 release. Got a new Honeycomb Yoke and am ready for it (dusted off my very old CH Throttle for now). I Have dozens of Orbx sceneries as I was involved in GA/Bush back then. Some people may remember me (I do remember many I see in the Forum).. I will immediately go for these when they release, esp exited for KORS (used to be my FSX "base"), KTIW, London City. and LOWI. Anything that can be ported, updated from the Orbx stable I'll buy. Anything in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest I am especially interested in.

TigerTigerM Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I have been waiting for this announcement. Quality of the Orbx screenshots is such that any hesitation about adopting MSFS has gone out the window! There is a large catalog of Orbx products available for conversion to MSFS & they should find a ready market. Pricing is very fair. TTM 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderbadger Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Great that Orbx are getting involved with MSFS straight away - any plans to release a UK POI pack based on the TE models to give us more VFR reference points? I think it might also be time for @Tony Wroblewski to learn how to port XPlane scenary over to MSFS and give us the rather splendid EGCK in the new sim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
