carlosqr Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) This is the best mail I've read in 2021 I knew you had something big in hands as there was too much silence Landmarks City Packs Auckland, New Zealand Cape Town, South Africa Cairo, Egypt Dubai, UAE Dublin, Ireland Frankfurt, Germany Honolulu, Oahu, USA Melbourne, Australia Mumbai, India Panama Canal and Panama City It could be nice to consider the airport too as an extra add-on to pay for Yokohama, Japan LDSP Split Airport LKPR Prague (MSFS) Thank you! And New York City? I'm gonna die before seeing it developed Or is it a surprise? Matteo hai un sacco de lavoro, bravo! Thank you so much for such wonderful mail. I see you all are working very hard and it is a great sensation that you have let us know the plans, this brings joy and excitement and somehow a peace of mind on what to expect from Orbx and that you are on it. Thank you! Carlos Edited April 7, 2021 by carlosqr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlinux Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Sydney cityscape for P3D I think I have been waiting for that since the very first time I started simming. We had a couple of OZX addons for FSX, that would build up the north Sydney area. But unfortunately it does not play well on current P3D.

flightoffancy85 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 After the purchase of Channel Islands data some years ago, I'm really surprised to not see Jersey, Guernsey, Sark and Alderney included in the list of MSFS sceneries. Seems like a logical fit as they're small and look great from a sales perspective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for this - I'll be counting the days (well, I will be when there is a release date). I'll purchase it immediately! In fact, I'll buy 2...no, 3! Thanks again.

It is not from one of their indie developers so it must be in-house. This makes it all the more odd that they will not be developing it in conjunction with an MSFS version. I can understand issues with porting older airports to MSFS. However all new in-house airports should be developed simultaneously for both P3D & MSFS.

renault Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 This is really excellent news ! Of course everyone has their additions as we all have our particular spots of the planet that we enjoy the most. A gentle "plug" for an area that has always been something special for me since I began flight simming so many years ago. I really miss Bowerman. It was just so neat in FSX and for me became a classic. When asked by friends about Orbx my answer was always the same. Spectacular scenery that is a must have, but check out Bowerman and you will see why I enjoy what they do so much I appreciate that your plate is full for this year, but would it be possible at some point in the future to make stopping off at the "Luna Cafe" a reality again for MSFS. It would be a classic reborn But for now your roadmap will give all of us many happy hours to look forward to. Well done folks, very well done indeed!

The Badger Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Shame not to see any small airfields /airports included in the list, those were my favourites in FSX and P3D. Presumably those are being left to freeware and other developers now in favour of regional airports. Oh well! As someone who likes pottering about in GA aircraft, there's not much in the way of airports there that grab me. The updates to North of England and Scotland might be worth looking at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense taken I've been using sims for 15+ years (FS2002 through to MSFS, including various P3D iterations) I agree it felt more like a game at the start but now is a different story, and will be again when PMDG etc rolls out the hanger, it's defiantly becoming more like a sim (a few more things added and it'll be better than FSX was). I'm having a bit of a grumpy day at work, and probably took your comment the wrong way, as others have said, hopefully in future dev teams will develop for both sims as people use both 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) 112 comments and very few naysayers - management will be impressed. Those of us in the 'non MSFS' group not so much but, as has been said, nothing remains the same. The promise of a True Earth Southern Spain leaves me a bit underwhelmed when there are so many multi-requested areas being ignored. One tends to forget that XPlane is no longer a favorite child but like little Oliver in the workhouse - "Please sir, I want some more XP".
