forostar Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Guys - I'm not at all familiar with that part of the world, but the pictures tell their own story. Good choice which seems to have paid off handsomely. Fine work. Thanks once again! I will now familiarise myself with Arkansas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think I'm going to have to plan to do another SR-71 Beale to Mildenhall flight again, with all of the detail being added to the terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexczarn Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 That looks insanely good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichB Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 That looks pretty amazing. I'm looking forward to flying around Botswana in the Okavango region with the new Vector update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simulatorflyer Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Can't wait to see the improvement in Alaska outside of SAK. This update and a decent landclass will do wonders for immersion in the northern parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brito Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Indeed we could have spent 5 years to make it 'perfect' but we chose to give customers the benefit of the product now and continually upgrade during improved data acquisitions and adding new tech etc. Your attitude is the right one and in tune with modern times.

FleetingThought Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm not surprised to see such a huge improvement; this is a massive project, and will no doubt have many further rounds of work to evolve it. All very much worth it, as once the updated LCs become available from ORBX, we'll really have the full layer cake! I can already see hints of this in the 80% of what's working now, even with the default LC; amazing steps forward. Hang in there and thanks for all the immense effort!!!

fabs79 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 That looks pretty amazing. I'm looking forward to flying around Botswana in the Okavango region with the new Vector update. Though this would indeed be great, unforunately if I understand correctly this new data source is only for the US - so probably no improvement to regions in other parts of the world.

Khyle Cruz Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Vector 1.2 is being worked on now, and there will be an interim V1.15 release shortly which solves most if not all the AEC issues people are having. Yours in updates! Hopefully our problem should be solve as you can see here in this topic: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/76275-ai-traffic-hanging-in-the-air-at-ksea-is-it-ftx-gv-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh? Will Africa be getting a detailed update at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabs79 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Oh? Will Africa be getting a detailed update at some point? AFAIK ORBX will release OpenLC products for all regions including Africa within the next few years. However, even this will have no impact on vector data like rivers and streams. I don`t know how the Okavango delta looks like with Vector (haven`t tried it yet), but the FSX default is awful - a few ponds in a desert, nothing like the real thing (been there 2 years ago). I guess the problem is that most of the data available for developers is derived from geological surveys conducted by governments or universities, and these countries just don`t have that kind of exact data available like the US or European countries have. Even satellite imagery of those regions tends to have a much lower resolution than what you see in Europe or the US (just try to zoom in with Google Earth over a random place in Africa and you´ll know what I mean). I think that`s why most developers don`t want to do sceneries for these regions, the lack of data will always show in the product. I hope this will change someday, but at the moment I´m happy flying over America and Europe and enjoy what I see. Cheers, Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The two photos are an unspoken testimony to the application of Orbx. Not to sound churlish, but much of the landclass and vector info in Aus 4 is quite ordinary. Any chance of the same treatment? But I thank you for Vector 1.2 to come, and the huge step forward involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iFlySimX Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 release date? Not the best question to ask honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd Podhradsky Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 @macca22au: After version 1.2 we will look for other data sources (I have some of them already downloaded on my disk but didn't have the time to check their quality etc); that's why I can't promise improvements for specific countries after version 1.2 . @Khyle Cruz: Hard to say, it's a lot of data and a big area that needs a lot of testing. Stay tuned for more screenshots and more information. Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idrick Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Would it be possible to get a show around PAFA? Noticed a few issues in Fairbanks, especially when coupled with Fairbanks X airport. Would love to see what the differences are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
