Orbx openLC Europe - Worth it ?

[garydpoole 183]

Hello All

Most of you are probably aware of the Orbx 45% discount sale, so I'm thinking this could be a good time to purchase openLC Europe.

I'm currently running FTX Global and Vector and was wondering if, even with a hefty discount, I would get much out of buying  openLC Europe for P3DV4.1?

I mostly fly the NGX, but have recently purchased Majestic's Q400 for some short legs around the UK and the Med.

Any opinions most welcome.

Regards

Gary

Absolutely YES.....!  Don't think twice...! The combination Vector+Global+OpenLC is great...

Cheers

Yes its well worth it. OLC is very nice I own Europe and North america. Much better than just global.

Absolutely worth it. Phenomenal value.

Yep I love it.  I never flew in Europe until I got OpenLC so I'm not sure what it looked like before.  I'm thinking of getting South America since it's on sale but I don't fly much there since there are few V4 compatible airports so I may wait.

Definitely sounds like a go-er - many thanks to everyone for their positive responses !

For those who already have the full OrbX European regions such as Germany North, South, UK, Scotland, Northern/Southern Ireland, Norway, etc... that already covers a large portion of Europe already. For full regions they include their own custom LC, so for those who own OrbX OpenLC Europe, you wouldn't even see it at all, since the full regions includes it already. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong? There may be conflicts between the 2 landclass data. I think if you own both, the full regions will take priority over openLC.

Europe LC is definitely worth getting. I used to find that with only Global some of the areas the textures were very noticeably repetitive.

I understand it the same way captain420 does. I noticed in one update for NA region that it had new street lighting and update included an option to turn of NA landclass so the new lighting system would show (if the landclass was installed) So there must be a competition there. I'm thinking you can have Global and Vector plus orbx landclass or you can have Global, Vector and regions.

I have a ball flying up and down the Amazon River with SA land class. 'I'm going to pick up that Otter Milviz just released go bush flying and I may never return.

What about those who has the UTX Europe product? or Had them.  is OpenLC Europe simply different or better? I am looking at the sale and ask the same question as the OP.  Thoughts?

How’s the scenery down there with openLC SA? Thinking about picking it up myself.
