Sooooooooooo... what do YOU think that means? This HAS to mean (PURE SPECULATION THOUGH) that Orbx is thinking about what I would call a vector data addon...! Or maybe vector data will be added to OpenLC? (AGAIN PURE SPECULATION!)

 

My gut feeling is that we'll see at least some vector data bundled in OpenLC.  I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one OrbX announcement that suggested as much.  Though they may offer more detailed vector data as a separate  product.

 

Or maybe improved coastlines & water features would be  part of OpenLC, with road, rail and other man made features being the standalone.

 

It's fun to speculate!

The roads really need to be redone, whoever will be doing them, ORBX or UTX. They look absolutely disgusting.

 

I agree; both the roads and railroads in Orbx FTX regions and UTX look very unrealistic.
