simwestSOCAL in Action!

We have uploaded a little intro video on simwestSOCAL and shows highlights of simwestSANDIEGO. Also, we had several requests on extending the simwest "4-Buck Boost" combo package for a few days more (guess payday falls on the 1st and the 5th), so we have extended the Limited Edition thru August 5th. Don't forget, we have simwestALBQ as a freebie so you can give our type of scenery a "test flight".

Hi,

I didn't know this product....
Does it cover the whole of South California (like ORBX SC)?
Should all ORBX SC stuff (Vector, OpenLC and so...) be disabled?
Are ORBX airports compatible?

Thank you,

Richard

EDIT: just downloading Albuquerque...

It's coverage is from the city of Barstow, CA south to the border of Mexico, from the Pacific Ocean (including islands), east to the Arizona border.  You can see a coverage map at the in product page images.  You do not have to disable orbx products but simwest needs a higher priority in the Scenery Library.   Not sure if all airports are 100% compatible ( there are some 180 default airports in the coverage), but we tested several (like KSAN), and they fit in nicely.  There are also instructions in our Pilot's Guide how to address such issues.

If you download simwestALBQ  which you can use to test our type of scenery on your system, you may see an issue with KABQ if you use orbx but that is easily fixed, once again, using the Pilot's Guide as well.   Give er' a go!

Thank you Clutch. What is a bootstraper? It seems I can't set up the scene without it.

Richard,

 

are you talking about installing it?  If so, you want to use the .exe file for that.  Otherwise I'll need you to explain further. 😊

:laugh:Forget it! For some obscure reasons I tried to launch the installation via simwestALBQ.msi...no comment...:rolleyes:

Great idea to have done the Breaking Bad challenge...I loved this show, it makes me want to see it again...Thanks.

@Clutch Cargo

Last but not least...

Before I acquire Simwest Socal, I have an important question. Although I have space on 2 of my hard disks to download it, the fact of having only +-40GB on my C disk will it be a problem or not, knowing that I plan to download it on my D or E: disk?
I ask this question because it seems to me (not sure, hence my question) that downloading even to another disc, sometimes also goes through the disc system.
Thank you in advance

Richard

Hi Richard,

Not sure I follow ya but simwestSOCAL is in the range of 40GB.  So you need at least 40-45GB to download it and another 40-45GB to install it.  If you are right on the edge of that I would not attempt to install it wherever that is.  Maybe you can download on one drive and install it on another?

Hope that helps,

Clutch
