June 9, 20196 yr I am sure it looks very nice. But what about airports? Big airports. All Orbx AUS airports are really old. What do they look like now and perform? Does Flightbeam Sidney perform well with v2. David Murden.

Does Flightbeam Sidney perform well with v2. David, YMML needs optimized, like most of the ozzie airports. They are not my favorite airports by any means. Cairns would be the best of the bunch, and Alice Springs. Brisbane...still word not allowed. FT YSSY is a gem, and performance on my rig is superb.

Thank you, I think I will say away till more large airports are made for v4. Brisbane...brings back nightmares and JV saying it will be fine when PC catch up!

You know that they have 5 products exactly of that kind for the British Isles with the seasons, right ? Older but still enjoyable. Except this VFR type scenery not LC with seasons, every object and building in the right place and rail tracks roads, but then again they did say at the start this is ORBX most popular product and region.

If Bill does them he'll treat them well 🙂 Kind regards, Michael So does this mean that Alaskan and Scandinavian autogen buildings will look more realistic ? I'll be first in line if we can have region-specific autogen.

FT Sydney performance is excellent. YBBM & YMML addon airports have always been the worst performers, but usable. YBCS & YSCB are excellent! The city of Sydney did not get any love in AU v2, but ORBX intends to release Sydney and Brisbane Cities in the future. It looks like most of the airports have been enhanced, so probably no need for me to install Oz. I was not impressed with Hamilton Island, but the latest Ants version looks lovely.

I am not talking of their newest TrueEarth sceneries but of their older LC products. They have « fat » LC regions for EN, SC, WL, IR and NI with seasonal textures.

Are these dead? Kind regards, Michael I wouldn't hold my breath, Michael. Replying on a question about the progress of XP Global, John Venema said a month ago that development of XP Global will continue after the team has finished OLC Africa. As far as I know, the main developer behind the OLC and Global product line is Eugene Krikunov. So, the OLC manpower will be moved soon again to XPL. As of now, at least the OLC line is a stepchild for ORBX and I sincerely hope that this will be not visible in the product quality of OLC Africa. I have to say that the whole OLC saga has turned utterly depressing after they initially have promised a worldwide coverage. Asia with its both planned Asia OLC packages is very much in need for some love. Hopefully, their newly hired XPL development team will free up capacity in fall for the development of the OLC line. Anyway, I am very happy about AUSv2. The diverse landscape makes it a very enjoyable playground and offers routes for the most common add-on aircraft. I am eager to see the improvements over version 1, which I still heavily enjoyed the last couple of years.

June 9, 20196 yr So do ORBX Melbourne and Brisbane work yet with this new release or do we need to hold off on those? I purchased both in the recent 50% off May sale.

Just tested Brisbane and we need disable default YBBN from AU v2 in order to prevent double objects. YMML v2 is unusable on my system. I never bought v3 because I bought v1 and performance was awful. Upgraded to v2 to again experience the same. I was not about to make the same mistake again. MSFS

Sounds great, thnx. I found Brisbane in V1 to be a killer, so hopefully the new redone (eventually) cityscape may improve the airport, especially if they allow us to tweak the cityscape settings. I have Melbourne, Cairns and Alice Springs.... so at least if they're improved I think I'll give it a try. Thnx again ! Edited June 9, 20196 yr by Gabe777
