Draw dropping video!

Yes it is awesome. This will certainly give a boost to X-Plane. 

I just found it too. It is only not the region I fly in, otherwise they would have my money (I stopped spending money on regions I am not used to).

As real as it gets, pretty impressive!

It's like having DCS scenery in XPlane. 😀

Wish they offered it in P3D4!

I'm torn as I spent so much money on Orbx stuff before making a switch to X-Plane.  But, it does look very nice!

I wonder what the impact will be on overall operation.  Scenery this dense must cause a real hit?

Great Britain South will feature 42,000 square miles of hand-corrected, crisp, colour-matched aerial imagery.

Great Britain North on the other hand, will feature whippets, flat caps, black puddings, disused mills, with pubs and chip shops on every corner of all 42,000 square miles of its terraced housing. Animated brawling pubgoer figures and unlicensed minicabs will be everywhere and the scenery will be punctuated by branches of Poundstretcher and Aldi every 300 yards, making it the most authentic simulated portrayal of Northern England and Scotland ever created. In a landmark collaboration with HiFi Simulations, it will also override your weather settings and instead only load up permanent drizzle with leaden skies and a cloud base at 420 feet, to add an extra touch of gritty northern realism. 🤣

Looks wonderful, but wonder if included airports (if any) will be as low-tier quality as the airports included with TrueEarth Netherlads for P3D.

Cheers, Ed

As far as I remember, they decided to let X-Planes own default airports do their job and not to add their own low quality airports. Instead they are working on porting their own high quality airports to X-Plane.

That would make more sense.

Great to see this, great video, really shows off Xplane11...alas, do not have the disk space for it but if I did, would I get it?  You betcha!

It's coming to P3d v4.

I'm a big P3D v4 fan, but I've stayed away from ORBX True Earth addons because I decided to wait for them to be released for XPlane 11. The Netherlands will look amazing in XP11.

I guess the only thing I dislike is the low resolution ortho images they'll include in the scenery. Understandable due to the download size limit. But I hope Orbx will also consider the option of including say ZL17 ortho images and charge a (reasonably) higher price. I'll be in heaven if they do that.

Or, Orbx could let users use their own orthos. I'm willing just to buy their customized autogen layer alone and pair it with my own good Ortho4XP tiles.
