AndyWsays Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Agreed, It is a fantastic piece of work! Just one piece of feedback though. I know this is an aviation sin/crime in real life...but that bridge is so beautiful in the simulator and it just begs to be flown under. I presume this is a limitation with Asobo, but upon attempting the fly under this morning, it just resulted in the standard 'you crashed' black screen of doom! A really minor issue, and not to take away from the overall package which is a work of art :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case you will be able to fly under the bridge pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, but it was this exact video that tempted me to have an attempt to fly under the bridge in the first place :-) Seems the functionality is dependent on a SP as per Frank's comments...Let's all wait for that in a future update. For now I am just going to enjoy the city from a 'safe' height :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinner Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I had a couple of issues approaching from the north. Ground textures were very bad , worse than default. The sim crashed a few miles out from the CBD. This was repeatable , afterburner shows plenty of headroom in RAM and CPU , framerates are acceptable. I can count on one hand the amount of game crashes I have had in over 100 hours of gameplay so far so I'm not one of the users with constant issues. This is the only Orbx product I have used with MSFS. Do I need to have Orbx central open when flying ? I installed to a new folder on a seperate drive rather than the default location. Could this be the issue ? I had a freeware version of Sydney installed in the community folder but deleted it before running the sim tonight. Do I need to clear the rolling cache ? Any advice appreciated. copy2.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, your separate drive, is it SSD or HDD? Do you have other MSFS addons like freeware with orthos (satellite ground images) installed on that drive without problems? I just took a few rounds in the area to be seen on your screenshot and it looks ok to me - no crash with crash detection on and the ortho loads fine (I'm running MSFS on a laptop with a GTX1080). I don't think the freeware Sydney scenery is the culprit here if you have removed it from the Community folder. 31 minutes ago, Stillwater said: if you urge to see the bridge from "down under", here you have a picture I have taken on a flight last year: Ferry flight I assume?

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 Excellent !! 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...
Pmacb Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Downloaded it, fantastic scenery with good frame rates although I note the white edge lights on runway 16L at Sydney Airport are blue, presumably a minor bug!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the time being (ie until it will be possible to add custom mesh) the building models only fit properly with Bing data on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ozzman Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think Parramatta needs some attention.BankWest Stadium looks like it was bombed.Apart from that the City and inner suburbs look great.Only thing noticeable thing missing around the city is Luna Park.

Uninstalled Orbx Sydney , started the game , deleted rolling cache then allowed it to rebuild. Closed game , reinstalled Orbx Sydney in the suggested default location and all is well. Not sure what the culprit was , may have been a combination of elements. All drives are SSDs FWIW. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh_Gaz Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hi all! I must say it's great to see you posting in this thread - Ed, Frank and team! The work you and the team have put in here speaks for itself! There is hundreds and hundreds of hours of model and SDK work here. I can see it. I do have one question: Do you guys understand package priority load and exclusions for the community folder? As a spare-time modeler, I will never be able to model as much landscape as you guys so I've bought your pack and it sings!, but my own Anzac Bridge scratch model on the left now doubles against yours in-game. We have probably both built polygon exclusions in the same location. So the game is recognising both given they are active in content.xml and sitting in the Community folder. Any suggestions for how we can co-exist? I want to support you guys, but also leverage community custom work. This is likely an Asobo issue but if you guys have any internal comms to probe it might help?, I think Asobo may need a sequencing/priority system. As this could hurt Orbx and all community modders alike as we all grow in the ecosystem. Let me know if any thoughts? I realise this is an odd post, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks again, and keep up the amazing work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know currently Asobo doesn't have this implemented properly. But is it possible to implement this feature in the current sdk by 3rd party devs? Could we possibly see these features in the future updates to this cityscape ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauro Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I've just flown over Sydney in HDR10 on an OLED.Time 7:00 p.m., the sun was just setting in a beautiful sunset. The city was already lit up.It was a breathtaking sight.A fantastic scenery, thank you OrbxUnfortunately, I have not yet managed to create appropriate pictures in HDR10 mode.Flying in HDR10 is a feast for the eyes, unfortunately without the corresponding possibility to document it with pictures.
