Viva Mexico in OLC NA

[bernd1151 5,804]

Mexico City to Tijuana

 

I always wanted to visit the Baja California. I was a couple of times in San Diego, but never found the time to head further south. Now for the first time I do, in P3D.

 

But instead of starting in San Diego, I started in Mexico City to see how the new ORBX Open LC NA has transformed this part of the North American continent. Well…but see for yourself

 

I love it, when big iron has to line up behind me

 

Over the north-western part of Mexico City

 

Further north near Durango (not the one in Colorado, we are still in Mexico J) I decide to deviate from my flight plan and head west instead. I want to reach the Baja California at its southern tip and fly along its wonderful coastline

 

 

Over the Mesa de Guadalupe

 

Near the small town of Eldorado I finally reach the Gulf of California

 

 

I hit the Baja’s east coast near the airstrip of Punta Pescadora

 

Further north over La Paz. Here I decide to head west to the Pacific coast. Aren’t the details in the city incredible

 

Now it’s all up north until we finally reach Tijuana

 

 

Over San Quintin

 

 

Along the beautiful coastline with the Sierra de San Pedro Martir Nat. Park to my right side

 

Into the airspace of Ensenada

 

Again, look in the next picture at the amazingly detailed small harbor of Ensenada. I don’t even want to know, how this thing looks in default FSX/P3D

 

Finally I begin to turn final into Tijuana Int. (MMTJ). In the distance one can see San Diego

 

 

 

You know what, it’s almost a pity that this flight is over

 

Thanks for viewing

Thanks for the screenshots. LC really seems to improve things a lot. Here is the Ensenada area with Prepar3D/Global/UTX, second shot is Prepar3D with Global only and the last is how the real thing looks in Google Earth.

Nice screenshots!  But...

 

In some of your shots there appears to be something wrong with the landclass and/or the roads are missing.

 

The screenshot over Ensenada is the most noticeable.

Ensenada for me looks ok, but I found that one of the roads in San Quintin was partly covered with landclass tiles. The next thing we do I guess is that we start to complain that certain houses we remember are now covered with the wrong paint  :wink:

I'm not trying to nitpick.

 

You didn't notice the big wide tan areas where roads should be?  You can see them in five of your screenshots.

 

Also take a look at your comparison screenshots.  Look at Google first.  Then look at your shot of P3D/UTX.  Lastly look at your P3D/Orbx shots.  Something is amiss.  It's either missing roads and/or you have scenery layering issues or the Orbx landclass has some issues.
