Marcus Nyberg Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 13 minutes ago, TigerTigerM said: OMG. TTM The political opposition is against the closing of Bromma and the decision might get reversed. Plus, they are just starting to investigate how a closure would be arranged, the last time that they did that analysis was in 2014 and the verdict that time was that they in that case needed an extra runway at Arlanda, which has also been debated for ages and seems hard to achieve politically. This discussion pops up every now and then. Current lease is to 2038 but I doubt it will stay open that long. The express train to Arlanda takes 20 minutes from the city centre, so Bromma is not even the closest option to a lot of people living here. Doubt the community will fight to keep it open. This scenery will most likely be quite dated the time the real airport closes. On the other hand the real airport is also quite dated so maybe that makes it even 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I wondered how they could have an airport in a residential area. I imagine originally it wasn't, but suburbia spread & engulfed it.

As I've understood that ESSA will be added for free, it might mean that my ESSA project will be scraped. We'll see. Hard to compete with free content. I wouldn't honestly lose hope for ESSA. If the free version is any comparable to free airports released until now, I think there will be plenty of room for a high-quality payware rendition by a reputable developer in the market, especially for the main international airport of a major European capital. I know I'd buy it. Truth is that (with all due respect to Gaya), the free airports included in world updates are rather low quality, close to many freeware ones. For example, I was very excited for Nice, and was disappointed by it, pretty much like all other airports included in the world updates. It has many flaws, default jetways, low-quality ground textures, operational issues, and more, so it's likely that they're given a relatively small budget and constraints aplenty and have to stay within those. A dedicated payware developer can do a LOT more, and I believe people will buy it, especially given the size of MSFS's market.

The handcrafted airports are like sure it's good for those who don't invest much in payware sceneries but if "hardcore simmers" got a chance to buy a payware scenery, they would 100% do it. Can't imagine Arlanda with default gray jetways and overall low quality. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I would buy Orbx Arlanda even after the world update. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaptenPanna Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Just got the news today that the Ericsson Globe is changing name to Avicii Arena as a tribute for when he sadly passed away . So just a reminder to change the POI name in the scenery (Because I highly doubt that Asobo will do it ) Also, I can smell the release so it can't be long at all now! I know I have said it already but it just looks insane. I am seriously speechless. Can't wait to have it in my library <3 KaptenPanna Edited May 19, 2021 by KaptenPanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janjoensson Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 The preview pics of Bromma Airport and Stockholm city are amazing! Is this scenery planned to be released before or after the next World Update 5 for MSFS, which will include Sweden and an update of Arlanda ESSA Airport? Anyway, really looking forward to Bromma and Visby Tack på förhand! / Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I'm probably preaching to the choir on this one, but my unsolicited observation on the MSFS World Update V, tentatively scheduled to drop June 15 though 29, 2021, is that it is a great marketing opportunity for Orbx Bromma. There will be increased interest in Scandinavia after the release & it is to be hoped that Bromma can take advantage of this interest. I don't know whether Asobo give Orbx an early look at World Updates. If they do & you can test Bromma against the pre-release, [if it is ready to go], then a concurrent release with the World Update should garner attention & hopefully, more sales. No pressure.

TTM On further pondering it occurred to me that perhaps with World Update V [Nordic focus], dropping in June, they are pushing Nordic airport titles, some of which may be rendered 'obsolete' if Asobo include better versions in their update.

Popular Post Marcus Nyberg Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hey guys! Apologize for not replying earlier. I am taking some time off to recover a bit, its been an intense period both work wise and personally and Ive not been feeling that well and need some time to rest and look after my health and spend time with my family. So as the World Update is scheduled for later this month I have decided to wait for it and gather some new strength before adding the finishing touches so we also don’t need to patch it first thing. (Also might mean that I will be back as a superman, rested and ready to put in an extra gear for my future airport adventures!) Apologize for the wait!

janjoensson Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) After installing World Update 5 for the Nordic countries it's clear that there is still much room for improvements to both Stockholm and other cities and areas. Arlanda after update is okey, but in the hands of an experienced creator it could get much better Now looking forward to Bromma and Visby coming to MSFS!

mtbroughton Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Still looking forward to Bromma. Stockholm after WU5 is improved, but still pretty generic with just a handful of POIs. And as janjoensson said, Arlanda is ok, but I would definitely pay for a higher quality rendition...as I'm sure would plenty of others. I'd hoped the update might have done something about the strange green/blue tint on the satellite imagery in the area, but sadly not to be! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janjoensson Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Visiting my gym in Liljeholmen the other day I noted quite an increase in traffic on approach to Bromma, a clear signal of Stockholm opening up after the pandemia.

TigerTigerM Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Well, words of encouragement to Marcus. I've just noticed someone, [not Orbx or an Orbx Partner], has dropped Popham for MSFS.

Popular Post Marcus Nyberg Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hey guys! I’ve been taking some time off to focus on my family & health and I feel more energized now and I’m slowly easing back into work. Thanks for everyone’s patience! So current status for Bromma is that we’ve gone through some beta testing. During this period we also found some really really nice imagery for the airport area and the close sourroundings that we decided was such a great improvement that I’m actually redoing quite a bit of work to incorporate this imagery in the project. Thousands of cars to remove, different 3D-terrain-insets to redo, color grade, and merge with the newer imagery we’ve been using so far as there are so many things going on around Bromma that imagery that is just a few years old can be quite dated. We’ve also been creating some new statics (now that BRA is back in the air we thought we should salute that!), and adding more details airside to create even more immersion. Now that we also know what was included in the WU5 it’s easier to make a version that is not depending on patches right away which is also great. So, that’s where we are at, at the moment. It’s taking longer than I was anticipating but I think it will result in a much greater product as well. It’s a new kind of project for me and a new platform, so things is a bit hard to predict. Thanks for the patience and I hope I can be back soon with more details and previews. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
