Martyn Greig Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi There... It was just a thought, I moved to XP11 from XP10 about a year ago after investing a lot in a high end simulator, however after having spent a lot on Orbx mesh products and airports, it dawned on me that if I move to XP12 when released next year that they might not be compatible, therefore just wondering before I buy more Orbx mesh products, could anyone please let me know if still compatible or will I need to buy them all again or should I stick with XP11 given from what I can find out the update from XP11 to XP12 is concentrating only on sky and cloud type cover and not really on mesh ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 over on XP forum at dot org I read that most should, obviously until it's released in BETA for testing no one will give an official word as they have not had chance to test... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Greig Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Thanks for replying, yes I had heard that, but as you say nobody has actually confirmed it. Hence wondering if actually XP11 is still better with Orbx mesh rather than XP12 without !, though of course the downside is as se all know eventually XP11 wont be supported ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Greig Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Thanks for letting me know, interesting read, though still no definitive answer !, I could not find the right forum, hence I thought it was tech talk, but thanks for getting back anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wroblewski Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Nobody can give you a definitive answer as none of us have XP12 yet, however from my chats with Laminar Research, all XP11 scenery will still work. The new lighting should make everything look better and much fresher as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceansong Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) After having X-Plane 12 for several days now and checking out most of the new version, I decided it was time to see if my Orbx scenery would work. I decided to try Washington and moved it over- no go- receiving an error message regarding missing files. Apparently v. 12 needs something v. 11 does not. Hopefully, Orbx is diligently working on the update. It would also be nice to resolve the issues with Orbx Central and having multiple copies of X-Plane installed. Central will recognize my X-Plane installs on the RAID drive, but for some unknown and mysterious reason, will not recognize them on the internal drive. Even Apple's senior engineers haven't figured that one out, having spent hours on the phone with them trying to resolve permission issues. Manual installs are required for me to get Orbx scenery to the designated copy of X-Plane. I'd be happy, however, with just getting my scenery to load in v. 12. Blue skies!

wain71 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 at this time I'd say we just have to wait, cobbling together something that might work can cause you no end of problems, we had this when P3D first came about..so far I have added 2 planes, both have v12 updates, however as XP12 is in EA they will be broken soon......I still have my other stuff in XP11 if I want a fix on a particular plane or scenery...I am reading so many posts elsewhere about people proclaiming this or that works and then moaning because the sim is crashing, it ain't ready yet, still testing.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awamech Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I would like to get some orbs while the 2x sale is going on, but I need to be sure X-plane 12 scenery will be supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 all my addons appear to work, however as an example at EGGD by Pilot Plus I am seeing double ground markings and unusual colouring on the tower, however it is BETA and these are not officially sanctioned for XP12 yet so I am not to concerned... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddo888 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi, can I please have a time line for when my x-plane 11 products will be available on my x-plane 12 list for install on Orbx central ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hello, as far as I am aware, there isn't a timeline. I would imagine that the first step would be the release of the finished version of X Plane 12. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
