June 18, 20205 yr So, I uninstalled Global Base, Vector, Landclass, Regions, Trees, Flora, Buildings, ORBX airports, city scenes, and any third party sceneries, taking P3dv4.5 scenery back to default. Then I installed on a separate SSD TE Great Britain North, Central and South, together with every single ORBX Great Britain airport. All of this went flawlessly. I can honestly say that I like TE+airports way better than all the Global, etc. and airports. Performance has been the same with identical addons (AS4, ASCA, A2A, and Ultimate Traffic) and identical settings. Al in all I really like ORBX this way.

June 18, 20205 yr That is quite a reduction in product layers. In terms of what you added back, was there Orbx guidance on that somewhere, or did you take a punt? I'm wondering if HD Buildings, HD Trees, Flora come with TE GB, or what comes with TD GB matches them? T45

I'm wondering if HD Buildings, HD Trees, Flora come with TE GB, or what comes with TD GB matches them? T45 I had the same questions and started a thread on how all the ORBX products worked together. The answer is that for TE areas you only need TE and the airports. All the rest is used only if you fly outside TE areas. TE incorporates mesh, landclass, buildings and all the rest. Maybe ORBX intentionally leaves that distinction muddy so you'll buy products you may not need. I also have TE Netherlands, so that's plenty of scenery for now.

I don’t think orbx leaves the distinction muddy to to trick you at all. It’s exactly the same concept as the Orbx regions, which have been round for years. Absolutely not a secret.

June 19, 20205 yr I purchased every single one of the ORBx UK airfields back in the day for use with Horizon UK VFR Photographic Scenery, and all of them (with the possible exception of EGPB Sumburgh) worked just fine with a few minor tweaks. Ironically, those same airfields have a problem with ORBx TrueEarth Great Britain if you want to fly in winter....
