The long-awaited part two of the ORBX OpenLC landlclass, (covering the USA below the Canadian border), is about to release, per the FTX official forums. The installers are being loaded to the e-commerce servers, and will likely go "live" this weekend - perhaps even later today (29 July).

 

There will be a substantial discount for current owners of the OpenLC Alaska/Canada landclass.

 

Looking forward to seeing an end to the endless repetitive textures in the American Midwest found in the default P3D/FSX landclass!

Can't wait for this. Thanks for the update.

Amen to that Jim  :wink:

To get an idea of how expensive and difficult it is to get a product like this to market watch this interview with JV at FlightSim Com 2016.

If there is, and is indeed substantial, I may be interested. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Although if I did buy this, it would mark a good 8 months since I've spent any money on any ORBX products.  The time-consuming routine involved with re-installing the staggering amount of software I own from them is one of the reasons why I don't use a MSFS based sim for my primary any longer - I can't handle flying in default scenery, and I can't put up with the agony of reinstalling So. Many. Products.

 

That, and FTX Vector made me slightly bitter.

 

I've read that they are moving to their own e-commerce store; my main wish (and this would make me a supportive FTX customer once again) is that they develop a method of centralized one-click download/install for each product that you happen to own.

 

As in, "Open FTX Central, browse a list of products you own, click to install, go have a coffee (or beer, depending on preference and time of day), come back, fly."

I believe I read that OpenLC NA will require the new FTX Central to be installed, is that true?

Note that openLC NA will require you to be using the new unified lclookup and FTX Central V2.1, so that’s why our focus is to resolve those issues as soon as possible.

 

Finally please remember all owners of openLC NA Alaska/Canada will get an automatic AU$22.50 discount on the southern part. You still have time to purchase openLC NA Alaska/Canada to qualify for the discount

Yep....

Thanks guys, I have Alaska and Canada and love it, but I haven't yet upgraded to lclookup FTX Central yet so that's good to know!

"Mr. John V,....I watched this great video, that truly highlights, and showcases your personability.   I knew of you as a name upon the Web, the CEO of Orbx.

 

I now feel that I have truly 'met you in person'.  You come across as a very nice man...quite approachable, with a very genuine sense of enthusiasm and energy for this hobby...and most proud of your accomplishments.  You should be.  

 

I now 'know you' as a person...and I like what I see. "  I wish you continued great success in all your endeavors, John

Dumb question: Will I benefit from this if I have UTX USA? Where is the difference?

Sure you will.  UTX will run on top of Orbx LC. I have it running now, and you will get the roads (superior to Orbx Vector) that have traffic running 180 degress to their progress...as in real life, etc...and this will over the great Landclass that will have things where they should be. UTX gives you the roads, bridges, coastlines, some LC, that you can turn off within the tweak program, I keep the land portion off, but the water bodies as on.

 

I have UTX over Alaska/Canada, and it looks great!

Heads up guys - I did not know this posted by John

 

You will need to download the entire new openLC NA to replace your existing AK/Canada installation
