There is some other 3rd party software out but in a simplistic term it's not very well done and def not up to Orbx's standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem has come to light in testing. To test for yourself, take a GA flight from say YMEN over the CBD to Moorabbin and a bit further, and then return towards YMEN and YML. We've been getting long lags and pauses, my last flight I had 2-3 second lags down past Moorabbin and up to 8-10 seconds approaching YMEN, in default MSFS scenery. Is there a specific post on the MSFS bug forum page we can upvote to get this some more attention? Any word from ASOBO as to when they may be looking at fixing the issue?? Seems crazy we are a year from release and this has still not been resolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I2icho84 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Axonos rendition of YPPH is fantastic, I would prefer that developers communicated projects to not double up. If Axonos brings their YMML from XP11 that would more than satisfy me. No point in multiple developers working on the same scenery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems crazy we are a year from release and this has still not been resolved I'm sure they'll get around to it in their own time. I doubt it's an easy fix, they probably don't even know why it's happening. There doesn't seem to be any consistency in the pauses. There's a Zendesk you can log bug reports etc, but you'd need to have something you've logged for them to even look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John I won't ask you to quantify "most" - but will ask - "why is it that so much fuss and Hype is being made about the 4 scenery updates so far - 2 more this year and - 5 next year" Is it because we were sold the idea that the sim would be live details - with up to date Bing scenery and weather? - and someone is trying to correct that Hype? I really like MSFS and fly it everyday - between 500 and 5000 feet - VFR and IFR - in GA aircraft - and do enjoy the scenery as such - and this is made better by all the dozens of freeware airports and scenery provided by good people all over Australia who give up their time - trying to improve - and or make a better job - of fulfilling the promise. As an avid MS fan for near 40years - both on PC and X Box - I feel entitled to a little piqued at what we were promised a year ago - and still waiting - hence my earlier comments 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they flew over every corner of the world in the last year. It makes perfect sense to me that many areas of the world would be years out of date, the landforms haven't changed after all.

My comments were about Australia - and that's all I care for - no where else because - with the exception of the MSFS UK - I wouldn't know or care about the accuracy other parts in the sim at this time and I do actually enjoy flying in other countries - Bing correct or otherwise I don/t know whether you are right about Canberra - But I do know that the Bing in the Gold Coast is not the up to date Sat. in Bing Maps today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar for MSFS has been raised, so companies like Orbx need to step up. Have a look at what NZA simulations are doing, AUscene, impulse. Quality does not even compare. If I am parting with my hard earned money I want the quality of work to be there. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasha Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Would like to see Orbx put some work in to port across existing airports that we purchased and used in P3d and FSX. They could offer a moderate discounted price for those with an account who owned some of these airports for the previous sims and who would like to experience them again in the new sim. I would appreciate some of the Australian airports that they did such a great job with in the past. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need new airports, just bring over the FSX and P3d airports to MSFS. I would re-purchase all Orbx airports again.

This year I am a little disappointed with Orbx choose, that it does not convert more existing airports ! The existing airports for P3D are always already very good, we do not ask for more ! I would also like to be able to use them again under MSFS ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
