Popular Post D0S Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 As a local who has flown over Auckland countless times IRL, I’ve been looking forward to this one all year and am certainly not disappointed! It’s great to finally see recognisable 3D counterparts of all the CBD buildings replace those ugly generic autogen tower blocks. The skyline of the city centre is pretty unique, and it looks fantastic in the sim early morning or evening with the PBR texturing. I’m stoked with how much detail was given to the harbors too- with Westhaven Marina, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere actually visible now and 3D boats moored at the jetties, as well as animated boat traffic on the Waitamata. A huge photoreal groundplate stretches nearly the entire width of the city with higher res ground textures replacing the Bing maps data. It includes watermasking of the many estuaries and bays (all be it at very low tide) and is a huge improvement from default. Great job Orbx team- this one will undoubtedly give me countless hours of entertainment! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigloaf Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) I'm super super impressed by this scenery. The coastal / watermask improvements take this to the next level. It's a massive upgrade. Fantastic work!! Thanks to those who worked on this! Default: Orbx: Edited October 17, 2021 by pigloaf 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Anna, and great work @Holger Sandmann. I've been a fan of your work for a long time and it's no surprise you are behind this scenery. I'll be providing an in depth review of the scenery in an upcoming issue of PC Pilot, so keep your eyes peeled for that! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
