Regardless, development is making good progress considering the overall scale. Once we are in that testing phase you can expect some more previews! Thank you for this preview Ed. OLC Asia does look very good and I cannot wait for it. This easy to miss preview hidden in this thread was a nice surprise to get the week started. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Nice looking, and finally much more diverse than these regions appeared in the sim before. I am keen to make some "real-life-comparisons" for India, and I think these will be satisfying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Street Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Fantastic that you're going ahead with this. I'm another one who's dabbled in MSFS and come back to P3Dv5, mainly because of lack of proper multi-screen support and worse (DX11) performance. I also feel the aircraft handle better. And it will be quite a while before the SDK allows the development of study-level aircraft. In the long run one thing some people forget is that this isn't a FS9 vs FSX situation - the two products are from different and competing companies, Lockheed Martin needs P3D for a lot of value-added products, and so as the limitations of MSFS are sorted out so will further development occur in P3D. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cee Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Great! After ~15 years of simming (FSX, P3D..) I tried MFSF2020 for a month. I 'll hold my comment on this... but I 'm back in P3Dv5.1 with EA and I 'm sooooooo glad!! I find that it 's far more realistic on every level and it has great potential to become better and as realistic as it can get. For me this one would be an immediate purchase. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heaton Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Labelling any area "EAST" - or West for that matter - should be a No NO and regions are specific geographically - and sometimes marked by trade organizations. Once upon a time - Asia was - and sometimes - still is - the "Far East" To those of us who live in Asia - Yes!! - Australia is a country in Asia -(Asian Trade Region) - the Far East is Europe - the Near East - is The Pacific Ocean and the Middle East - the Americas and Canada - 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xuehua china Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The first part should be almost done. I only know whether I can do the second part and the third part now? In addition, most of the flyers have stopped flying MFS and turned back to P3D. I know that the professional simulation flight platform in recent years is still P3D. I hope Orbx can also be a landmark or city in Asia, such as Tokyo, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur and Manila. We are looking forward to it in P3D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ed Correia Posted February 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi all, small update and new previews. Development is taking longer than anticipated as the P3Dv5 variant is needing a whole lot more work in terms of exclusion of secondary and tertiary roads. Without these exclusions, we are seeing a mass of minor roads cutting through our landscape textures which does not do it any justice. This is quite pronounced on the Indian subcontinent. We are also ensuring that it will work with the Vector product being present or not so that is also increasing the workload. Nonetheless, Eugene is practically on this 7 days a week and this is no mean feat! The first area has also increased slightly in size (red shaded area) to make more efficient use of landclass textures. 19 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic update, Ed, thanks a lot for this. a) Take your time on making the product meet our expectations (you know Orbx has raised the bar over the last decade...) b) Great to read the Himalaya is already included in part 1. That will be awful flying experience for us! c) Nice preview shots.

David Woodford Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I remember my flight around the world back in UK Lockdown 1 - FSX. All those memory crashes! Anyway Asia was a BIG part of that rtw trip.. Highlights included New Dehli, coming in over -Himalayas to Bagdogra Darjeeling.. then onto Rangoon, over the jungle mountains and then Hanoi before skirting the coast to busy Hong Kong and bad storms into Shanghai. The fact that I spent so much time just getting the various airports and meshes to work means I am readily licking my lips at the thought of these places in OpenLC Prepar3d 5.1 Can’t wait!!

MotoDave Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I've been unable to install products away from the root, so please post some HDD size requirements. Perhaps in the future someone clever can figure out how to install Orbx products out of the FSX root. I'd like to buy more Orbx but don't have the HDD room.
