Orbx says in the introductory post of this topic "Over nine months in development, Cityscape Sydney is an enormous project that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with the current MSFS SDK. " So Asobo knew they did not have to bother about a Harbour Bridge. Edited September 18, 2020 by wolfko 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were alpha testing MSFS, we of course noticed that the bridge was missing, which was somewhat odd, as the Opera House was well modeled. We never got an answer from the development team, until someone from Sydney speculated that the city government had managed to have the bridge patent protected. No idea, whether this is true, but if it would be true, Asobo/MS would have to ask the city government for permission to model it into the sim, hence they didn't bother. On the other hand, if the Harbour Bridge is protected, the iconic Opera House must be patent protected too, but this one looks great in default. Oh well, just speculating. It's not really important anymore, I guess 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really interesting and misterious. But isn't the Harbour Bridge modelled in other sims? So it should be possible to get a permission. But I like the idea that this was the reason for not modelling the bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F737MAX Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 'Something, something, was waiting for this in P3D, something, something...' It looks great. Thanks for listening to customer feedback with regards to the 'hero assets'. I look forward to adding this and the "several major Australian projects" to my MSFS in future. (Still would love to see this come to P3D before the quality payware airliners make their appearance in MSFS). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanlaoge Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) I want all my previously purchased Orbx products converted for MSFS, now! I’d like to pay for them, at 50% discount of course. And many new future products, many many more! Edited September 18, 2020 by yanlaoge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvidencePlz Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 "Acclaimed developer Frank Schnibben (Cityscape Honolulu, Melbourne Cityscape for AUv2)" I just realized I bought both of these for P3D, the sim of the dark age, and they were superb. I'm willing to support the developer again but a question to those at Orbx who make decisions: do you have plans to do something like this but for the whole of Liverpool, England, UK, the airport EGGP and its immediate surrounding area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgrech Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I have been away from Flight Simulation for a number of years! Looking at all this amazing content I need to get back into it! This quality from Orbx has always been there but this looks amazing. I don't want to step over the line but Orbx used to put out videos of upcoming products. Is there one planned for this? Would love to see this in motion. In the meantime......I need to spend some money on a new Rig! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonr71 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) I only sent a message to Nick last week suggesting a Sydney Landmarks add-on, and wow, this is brilliant! I live in Sydney and I'm very excited about this add-on. You guys are amazing! Can't wait for Melbourne and future Australian add-ons.

merlinux Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 We have been waiting and speculating about this for so many years.I was expecting it on P3D and I am quite surprised to see the MSFS version announced Still I have the feeling this will be followed by a P3D version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbluesky Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Absolutely awesome announcement and preview shots. This is a day one release purchase for me. This scenery is going to be a massive seller for Orbx. Really looking forward to further Australian airports and scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermothpilot Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'm not one normally given to hyperbole, but I must say this could be one of the most significant and beautiful scenery designs ever developed for a flight sim.

I certainly hope London gets a little upgrade . This is clearly a step up from the London scenery and it would be a shame that we don't have a HD pack for example. Great work on Sydney citiscape and just think of all the cites in the world that could do with this level of detail. Orbx certainly have enough work to do and you'll know they'll do it because as I've found out in London MSFS is by far the best showcase for these cities in any Flight simulator. Magical stuff Orbx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
