No, you have to see it the other way around. Had the bridge already been included in MSFS, you would have been paying twice for it, when buying the cityscene. And if purchasing the cityscene you are not paying only for a bridge but for an enormous scenery package. Nobody will be buying Cityscape Sydney just for the bridge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbmoke Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 'Had the bridge already been included in MSFS, you would have been paying twice for it, when buying the cityscene' No, because if the bridge was already included, then Orbx would not have included it in their package. They didn't include the opera house as that was already there. I just think the release of MSFS has been rushed to get it out into the market. Maybe they should have waited a year or two before they released it in order to correct any scenery anomolies that are quite clearly there from the start. That way, it wouldn't be necessary to pay extra for what should have been there in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing stopping you from waiting until Asobo get around to updating certain parts of the world like they're currently doing with Japan. There's also nothing really stopping you from not purchasing it for a year or 2. I'm happy they chose to release it when they did, I can look past Sydney, etc being how it is because the rest of the sim is amazing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel B. Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Mostly very good indeed. But what about this bridge??. Are the CBD buildings modelled on the current actual structures, or has someone put in what they think looks good?. What has been done for the outback townships/settlements? What sorts of double-story city buildings have replaced there with what is actually in these places?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the ANZAC Bridge and it looks exactly as it should and is exactly where it spans. The Harbour Bridge is in the back ground. Obviously this is a photo from Black Wattle Bay.

B12 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I think what he means is ... it looks a bit like its spanning land possibly on a shore, but looking at it again, its probably a shadow of the bridge on the water underneath he saw and I first thought too? Regardless, I'll be buying this, it all looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttilaS Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Speaking of Bankstown, I'm guessing this scenery probably wouldn't extend to there. Having not (yet) bought it myself, how does the new MSFS compare to the OzX Bankstown scenery? Are there plans to eventually create a detailed Bankstown airport?

Reedy Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It might not extend all the way but the Olympic Park precinct would be a good one for them to include. Hopefully they have done at least part of that and maybe some parts of Parramatta, but none of it is included in their screenshots so who knows.

andy.brownhill Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just purchased this and each time I take off from Sydney the game crashes, did a test flight elsewhere and it was fine, lowered options to high end from ultra, still crashes the game.

Did you previously install any sceneries for the Sydney area? I suspect any duplicate files for the same scenery area might crash MSFS. None of the beta team ever suffered any crashes or poor performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyS Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Amazing! I spotted where the ABC is on Harris St using the drone camera-even though the building is more of a generic model and not a custom one and the Harbour Bridge modelling is so stunning-unreal! Impressed by the improvements to night lighting-especially to the Opera House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidgetyflyer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Looks amazing !!! Just wondering ,when can we see proper roads and moving vehicles on roads and bridges with their headlights /tail lights visible from above during night time?? This feature implementation will bring life to this beautiful scenery and really make this look as realistic as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As seen it today. Tried it on ultra then high and still crashed. I’ve uninstalled it and flew over Sydney with no problems. I’ll try a re-install to see if that works.

ianlighting Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) No, the ferries are there hehehe Color scheme on the bridge is a little out as it is 5000k as a rule of thumb on the suspension struts with 2700k for the supporting towers and same again with the Opera House. Original design intent 4000k on the sails and 3500k on the lamp posts. Edited October 10, 2020 by ianlighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeOnlyR Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hi Orbx! I am, as many others are, happy that you have taken time out of your last nine months to make the Sydney scenery package. I think you have done an amazing job with it, however, I have found some problems with the current package. I hope you can fix some of these issues to make the scenery even closer to perfect. First off, the “Greenland Centre” in Downtown, is a block south of its actual position in real life. It should be on Bathurst street rather than Liverpool street. Secondly the building that lights up blue at night with the absurdly large spire is too tall. the roof height, sail and spire are much higher than they are in real life. Thirdly, Parramatta has been mostly forgotten in this scenery package despite it being talked about in the announcement of the package. Most of the buildings are completely missing. Parramatta in the game Parramatta in real life Only a couple of buildings are there, most of the tall buildings are missing. I hope you can fix these issues to make the scenery package closer to perfect. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianlighting Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Ps to anyone on here who thought my comments were complaints, they are not, but I rather Orbx were close to the current Lighting schemes to help them with what myself and others did for each site I don't know, I think Mike Hill and the gang are doing a pretty job in Sydney for Sydney hehehe !

I probably found the cause of the crashes from this scenery, it uses to manny vram for a Geforce 1060GTX 6gb card, I hope that Orbx can get the vram use down with a patch or something because as of now it's sadly a no-go for this scenery for me. The London cityscape works without a problem on my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
