ORBX made this a bad day for JustSim and Aerosoft

Further to posts #13 and #14 by Christopher and Erich, the details appear to be under the heading "Compatibility" in Jarrad's announcement accessible via the link in Jim's post #7.

 

Yup, that one

Not sure I completely understand the edit, the ADX link had all of the pictures and a source link to the ORBX page. As some members here have expressed that they dont have access to the ORBX forums, the ADX link provides all of the information and a link directly to the page if one desires. Regardless, it is your forum so do as you wish.

It's one of our competitor's site. That's all and it has a bunch of stuff on it that has nothing to do with your OP (Orbx).

Fair enough, I guess the language "several advertisements that have absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the Orbx release" just made me a bit uneasy that I had done something wrong. Didnt know you guys considered it a competitor. My apologies.

nevermind.

 Has anyone seen screenshots of the actual terminal, yet? Or, are Orbx holding back to preserve sales of the other guys products?

Its a shame that p3d is not 64bit.

Imagine what Orbx could create more realistic addons with 64bit...

 

Just would like to see a picture of something created by a 64-bit application to compare to what we have now with ORBX/P3Dv3, etc. Please post.

Cheers, Ed

I think what he means by that is with 64bit, you have don't have the 4GB limitation. Therefor you can create higher quality textures, more objects, and etc. Basically you have more flexibility, options and more room to work with.

Looks nice but what a frame rate and VAS nightmare when running the NGX or FSL A320.

Yup, I know, but the post says that there are more realistic add-ons if made for 64-bits. Just want to see them or it's just a speculation?.

Nope I didnt said that.

I just said, that its sad that p3d is not 64 bit. thats all.

Was just about to get Justsims LOWI when i stumbeled across the ORBX version. The only reason why i coose ORBX are the chopper spots and the Zugspitze. Made a cool gopro vid of a 360 in FL130 around it 2 years ago in the real world

 

Justsim is a great dev studio btw. Have lots of good sceneries. If ORBX LOWI ears up performance, then Justsim will be mine!

Hands down, Jarrad is the best scenery designer in the business today.

Thank you,

X-Plane is, enjoy it!

Cheers, Ed

Even though X-Plane is 64bit, it lacks a lot of things that P3D and FSX has. The planes in X-Plane are not high quality like PMDG, Aerosoft or FSLabs. Since I fly mostly tubelines, that is very important to me. I have both sims installed and I keep finding myself going back to P3D even though I have to deal with OOM it's just overal, a better sim. Until X-Plane has higher quality scenery and planes, I'll stick to P3D.

 

I really enjoy ORBX add-ons, the level of detail and eye candy is amazing. One thing I like about ORBX add-ons is you can adjust the scenery and enabling/disabling stuff, so for those with high end machines can enjoy all the eye candy while low end machines can be able to run it as well. It's nice that they gave us that option. Now if P3D was 64bit, I'm sure we would get much more eye candy. That's what I'm wishing for.

 

Especially with the their YMML add-on. It's extremely resource intensive when running with the default options. I had to go in there and disable quite a lot of things to make my sim run smooth.

   Having more vas doesn't mean the sim will run any better when loaded up with 4k textures and heavy cloud cover, etc. Look at X-plane and the instances where it can be made to struggle even though it is x64. And there are lots of videos on the tube. Minus the OOM at 4Gb, I doubt XPX would run much better than FSX, if it were loaded up with Orbx scenery, a top flight tube liner, and a working real world weather add on. It would look pretty, but I think XPX would still struggle with blurries and stutters. Why else, do you think LM have been working for the past 3 years on streamlining P3D?

 

as always, just my .02c.
