John Venema Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hello all, The team has been busy on finalising the last of the new textures to fill in the gaps for various parts of the world. These include specific textures for Asia, South America, Hawaii, rural Europe and the Middle East. We hope to have a full beta build ready for testing by the end of next week.

That would be a glorius day Ccan`t wait to get my first orbx product: orbx world Your in luck because Robert Randazzo (PMDG) stated in a new update on their forum that the 777 was to be released 5 weeks ago but one of the head modellers wanted to make the VC much better than before. This is sort of telling you that the 777 will be released between this week and next week ( if they don't hit any delays). Go check out the PMDG forum if you haven't.

Vora Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The Asian textures look brilliant. Originally I was turned off by one of the first FTXG pics showing "cow pastures" in Laos - but now I'm confident that FTXG is a must-buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonchie Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Looks great. The zoomed out .30 shots totally skew perception though (and can hide flaws). Would much prefer more shots from a zoom level people actually fly at (.70-1.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnG Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 hmm, I've always flown at .50 that's where it looks the most natural to me, 70-100 is way too zoomed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonchie Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 hmm, I've always flown at .50 that's where it looks the most natural to me, 70-100 is way too zoomed in. I'll assume you haven't set "wideviewaspect = true" (with it false .50 is the equivalent to around .90 with it true) in your .cfg because with it .50 is nowhere near a natural viewpoint and is highly skewed. Mathmatically, 1.0 is the most realistic but I use .80 to simulate some peripheral vision (as do most people I've seen). Regardless, these preview shots are obviously showing a highly skewed fisheye effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnG Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 no, I have wideview aspect set to true (and at true, my fsx defaults to .70) the default eyepoint is too far back, so I move it forwards and I always fly at .50. when I say that it's the most natural to me, I'm not talking about mathematics, or "realism". 1.0 may be 1:1 what you would see in a real plane at the same position (but mathematically would also have to account for your monitor size to make that claim). but people don't fly aircraft looking through a 23" diagonal pane of glass with everything else blacked out. a natural viewpoint to me is one that encompasses your normal field of view in the pilot's seat, and 1.0 does not give you that same panorama (unless you have one of those three monitor setups, in which case, I would probably fly at higher aspect as well) also, this is not scientific, but it seems to me that fsx scenery objects are inflated in size compared to the real world, and that is another factor to consider as well. In any case, you bring up an interesting point. do most flight simmers fly at 1.0 zoom, or do most zoom out? I have been flying my own setup so long, I feel that .50 is "normal" to me. the other question is, if you do fly at 1.0, what scenery do you own that appears sharp and detailed at that aspect so as to make these shots deemed to be hiding flaws?

bonchie Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I think most are flying .70-.90 if you go by the threads about it at avism or the like. Anything under .70 gives me a headache because of the fish eye effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hannant Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 .40-.50 for me depending on the aircraft and where I'm flying (for peripheral view etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 JV FSX Global is a very significant game changer. I believe that it will become the absolute successor to default scenery in both FSX and P3D. Indeed Lockheed Martin should save themselves a bundle and buy your scenery on a royalty basis for v2.0 And with your new landclasses being released on a regional scale, suddenly our flightsim world will be utterly and finally transformed. Congratulations on your innovation, persistence and commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tim, I think that what Laura was trying to say is that according to the pictures on the OP, only Brazil cities were represented with the updated "Southamerican" textures, so perhaps she was asking if the rest of the region got updated as well (including Argentina). I'm from Centralamerica btw and been using FTX Global along with FTX Global Vector, so far so great. Waiting for Open LC Southamerica tho .
