There are many differences in the modeling and texturing, and a lot of the clutter objects are completely different. If it is the Orbx version, they've rebuilt it completely from scratch. I think the main point here is the level of customisation which I was alluding to coming from a third party developer, as you've stated... Quote The only similarities are those that exist because they're based on the same airport. Doesn't it seem strange that they've gone to that effort for an airport unless of course it was a third party developer contribution and they want to test the water...

So if I built a flight sim and one of the new features was sloped runways, I would take Courchevel to show case it. That’s why I would also spend effort on making it look pretty. Makes all sense to me...
November 10, 20196 yr Lots of exciting things ahead, some much closer than you think. Another surprise?

Mainly this. Maybe a new trailer, maybe a release date, surely new info. At least that's what I understand.

With Lukla in Nepal, Courchevel is iconic of a sloped runway altiport. It makes a lot of sense to have it perfectly made as a window dressing asset.

November 12, 20196 yr Also I don’t think that because it looks like Courchevel it must be ORBX. It’s because it’s Courchevel.

November 13, 20196 yr They aren't going to announce third parties for MSFS at something like XO19, lol. The entire crowd will look at each other and go "what's a PMDG?" if they announce PMDG is supporting MSFS. If they do anything but have the game on the floor at XO19, it'll either be a new trailer, or some new footage and maybe a brief interview with Asobo - gotta turn Lionel into the celebrity superstar he deserves to be. 🙂 They'll save the news of interest to actual simmers for their own updates.

Or they will start to sell hard copies at the event 👅
November 13, 20196 yr Since the beginning, Microsoft surprises us, from the trailer to the Global Preview Event, no one seems to see the news coming. They keep letting us having the impression to be in the loop with their DR but I really like the way they drop everytime the main news out of nowhere. I know I expect something from the London event tomorrow but I also know I can't guess what it will be.
November 13, 20196 yr I would be happy with a lot of screenshots and videos. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
November 13, 20196 yr Yes, more screenshots and vids would be greatly appreciated. And here‘s an idea for the time before Christmas: In December, MS could give us a screenshot each day and on Christmas a nice long video; kind of like an Advent calendar. i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2
