xPlane user ben Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 kinda new to xPlane 11 and just sorta discovered Orbx True Earth (which FWIW I'm using a 16 Gb Mac Mini w/ the apple M1 ARM processor) basically a few weeks back purchased True Earth Northern and Southern California (which has eye candy and takes up "huge" disk storage space) since I don't get up to Oregon or Washington state all that often figured I'd down load mesh data for the western USA "states" http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-11-hd-mesh-scenery-v4/ then purchased the Orbx Seattle Landmarks scenery and a bunch of Orbx Washington/Oregon airports,... I'm very happy w/ my sim setup BUT alas have noting else I want to buy from Orbx (because I've got everything I can use),... now that I'm exploring my virtual playground w/ my current setup, noticed when I take a sim flight out of "lost wages" or K61B notice the default VFR scenery is lacking! point being as a happy Orbx customer who purchased KVUO Pearson Field and KTIW Tacoma Narrows Airport for X-Plane 11 (and noticed these two Orbx packages included bridges,... what about porting 61B Boulder City Municipal Airport to xPlane https://orbxdirect.com/product/61b I'm guessing this addon airport package not for use w/ xPlane,... contains VFR eye candy like hoover dam and the nearby bridge???

Jon Clarke Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Thanks for your interest and suggestion. I know of no plans currently to develop 61B but we can ask @Ed Correia if he has plans for this in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 No immediate plans for that at present, but never say never. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPlane user ben Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 as a real world pilot really think Orbx high definition general aviation airport add-on(s) like KTIW Tacoma Narrows Airport AND KVUO Pearson Field are useful VFR "sim" tools because they include models of real world VFR reference points like bridges looking at what is in the pay ware market for the Colorado River/Grand Canyon area (for xPlane 11 users) there isn't anything out there,... https://store.x-plane.org/Arizona_c_331.html https://store.x-plane.org/Nevada_c_360.html which is why I suggest porting 61B Boulder City Municipal Airport to xPlane (since it complements freeware Grand Canyon secenary) https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/24759/x-plane-11-grand-canyon-hd-photoreal-scenery/ actually doing some checking up there use to be an xplane add-on for K61B but that product has been discontinued https://store.x-plane.org/KLAS--GLITTER-GULCH_p_242.html looking at an old review (of the product) would have bought it (if it was available) because looks like it included a number of general aviation airports (which would have been a good real world VFR "sim" tool) https://xplanereviews.com/index.php?/forums/topic/298-scenery-update-klas-glitter-gulch-15-by-tom-curtis/ basically think if K61B were for sale to xPlane users,... lots of real world pilots would find it interesting because near by land marks like the Hoover Dam and the bridge are modeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
