BiologicalNanobot Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi, Orbx openLC's product page still recommends Orbx Vector: "This product requires Orbx Global Base to be installed for correct operation. Orbx strongly recommends Orbx Global Vector to be installed. All featured screenshots depict Orbx Vector as well as TreesHD" This confused me, as Lockheed Martin have already updated the vector data and airports in P3D v5. This made me believe that the recommendation might be outdated. Do you think Orbx Vector is still needed for openLC, even in P3D v5? What benefits does it have? Thanks in advance.

Nick Cooper Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hello, it's a recommendation, as it clearly says. That means that it is not mandatory. The original decision was not to release Vector for P3D v5 but then then it appeared that despite the upgrade, there were some anomalies that Orbx Vector would fix. For this reason, it was made available, free of charge for existing owners and at a reduced price for everyone else. Orbx simply recommend the ideal solution for the best customer experience. It is entirely a matter of choice for you, like any other product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused mostly because it said it is "strongly recommended", so I believed it is rather important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heronjr Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I have just installed P3D v5 on a new computer and my Orbx Central does not show Global Vector in my products list. I sure had Vector in the old computer purchased lots of years ago. I used AEC many times. How do I proceed now? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello, probably you will need to add it to your account. If you already own it, then it will be free of charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
