Sims Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I been very happy with the Orbx TE products like GB, FL, and CA/WA. With Vulkan mode, I don't have any performance issue flying process intensive aircrafts. Few more TrueEarth region would complete most of my flying places in US. Any plans to bring TrueEarth to Central/Texas area and New York/East coast area? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gunn Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 New york would be an amazing one to have and around Boston. Allot of traffic on online networks use those 2 areas quite allot expecially with long haul operators. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mac Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Maybe waiting for XP12 and seeing if there are major changes to the way scenery will be created. From what I’ve seen so far nothing major on the scenery front. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flybius Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 We can only hope that the X-Plane TE scenery drought is due to Orbx tryin to figure out a way around the limits of X-plane... The drought also seems to apply to X-Plane airports... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hello Orbx, The situation changed since I last posted this message. Laminar Research announced X-Plane 12. The release date is unknown but my guess is 6 ~ 12 months. I would love to buy some of the Orbx products when you usually have winter sale. However I am reluctant because they will be obsolete soon with XP12. Is there any plans for X-Plane 12? Will the product be supported or at least be given some sort of "upgrade to XP12" discount?

I guess it depends on how much changes! If the tech is straightforward Orbx has always provided free updates, or discounted when a scenery is given a makeover. However if XP12 requires a lot of new files then Orbx can't be expected to do free updates. Without more info from LR it's anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll look the same essentially (i.e. Without the 3d trees). It's too early to talk about plans as there isn't even an alpha version released yet.

S3rg1o Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 So, with the relase of TE Spain South an upcoming TE Spain North is in the plans I guess... but why did you guys not include Portugal? That would be something like Iberia South and North releases... is there any particular reason to be only Spain ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not privy to the commercial arrangements but my guess is there's no access to the equivalent data for Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mac Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Often it can be down to the cost of the source imagery. Such was the case with Ireland. It would have been nice to complete GB and Ireland but cost of imagery was a deciding factor no doubt! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can that be, if imagery of TE Spain South includes the southeast imagery of Portugal ? The citys of Faro, Beja and Portalegre are included in the imagery, and they are portuguese citys, not spanish, so It doesn't make any sense from my point of view...

From what I remember in testing we were told that a section of Portugal would show imagery that extends to the edge of the XPlane enforced scenery tiles, but would only have default autogen. That's why the imagery doesn't end at the border as it would in P3D say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
