Wondering if they will have palm trees in Florida?

 

Yeah and I wonder if they will provide cactus in Arizona.

I'm interested in this... pricepoint is fair considering the work to be done... (it's probably cheap hehe)

 

I wish they were doing landclass and vector terrain too but that would add more.

 

Basically what this is is GEX with custom autogen and 3D lights. GEX has lights but not autogen.

 

edit: oh wait I think it has autogen textures...

I have a question, are orbx textures 4096x4096?

GEX does not have 3d lights Ryan just ground textures that's it.

Oops yep I was thinking of UTX. but I think it has custom autogen textures... maybe I'm thinking of UTX again...

If the textures are done in a way to improve looks and perhaps framerates $190.00 is very inexpensive. I think it's a great deal.

Very exited about this as well. Time to shake out some change from the cushions... ^_^

 

Austria and India look the same imo

 

i think not having roads rivers and coastlines and landclass features is a huge mistake. But I'm sure they will sell a lot of units just because it's Orbx.

If the vector data is there already, be-it default or Utx Euro, the the streams and rivers will still be there. All ORBX is doing is replacing textures, adding custom autogen and lights. Landclass and vector data that you are using now will still work the same.

No, UTX doesn't do that. Your confused with the fact that GEX improves autogen annotation.

That's the point I was trying to make... it's just default stuff so what's to get so excited over?

Jim I think what he is saying would be nice if orbx global had all of these features then we could dump all of these different addons and just use one, I would luv to dump all of these addons to much going on.

That's what I said... sorry my grammar is terrible. That what I have my wife for :wub:

I dont know. Somehow some people thing that replacing default textures with ORBX textures is going to make their landclass and vector not work anymore. The new ORBX product works the same way GEX works, just replaces texture and in the case of ORBX, includes custom autogen and night lights. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Its amazing how such a simple product can cause so much confusion and angst thing that streams, rivers and roads are now going to disappear since the ground textures are being replaced. The onky time thats done is when they are replaced by an ORBX region where they use their own landclass and vector data, which isn't the case with ORBX Global.

Could be when he meant, but then thats what the ORBX regions are for and if they did that for the world it would be more than $200 and wouldn't be out next year most likely.

Looks very nice but I still prefer non-repetitive photoreal scenery (with 3d stuff dumped on top it) as my favorite. But this will give yet another option for simmers. Gotta luv options.

Realistically I won't buy it. I rarely fly other parts of the world... yes I'm a USA Snob ^_^

Except UTX landclass calls for its own custom textures. So Orbx would not work with UTX at all. And for the regions not covered by UTX it will still not look that good. Right now Ground Environment X does the same thing as Orbx wants to do, but for less than 190
