Welcome to Great Britain South, our third landmark pack for Great Britain that completes our GB range.

Following the successful North and Central packs, Great Britain South contains over 700 highly detailed landmarks stretching from Nottinghamshire and the legendary Sherwood Forest down to the southern coasts of Cornwall and the Cliffs of Dover.

This region is tailor made for pilots who love to fly low and explore, offering an incredibly immersive experience of southern Britain's most treasured and iconic landmarks. Our custom animated fauna breathes life into Britain’s countryside, and engaging tours of the southern castles, churches and monuments will take you on a historic journey across the land. 

At a glance:

• Over 700 highly detailed POIs with realistic PBR textures.
• Immersive tours and missions for many churches, castles and historic landmarks.
• Custom animated animals across many fields and farms.
• Helipads across a range of select landmarks.
• Dazzling custom night lighting based on real-world imaging.
• Optimised for performance through efficient use of 3D modeling and texturing techniques.
• Fully compatible with World Update 3 and designed in line with our Great Britain North and Central packs.

Want!

Anyone got a .KML file showing all the objects? 

I’ve got one for GB north and central but I expect it’s likely a bit early to find maps etc of this new release.

Ah  good, this has been notable by its absence for a while, although it’s good to see the North of the U.K. prioritised for a change 😉

They have provided two files at: https://forum.orbxdirect.com/topic/219141-is-eu-great-britain-south-for-msfs-still-being-made-or-has-msfs-2024-announcement-delayed-it/?do=findComment&comment=1845049

I will buy it to get the full set as I have the other packs, but all of the objects look a bit too much too shiny and new to me as usual, with the colours over saturated also.  
I wish they could fade them down a bit or make them look more weathered like in real life.  They to look a bit false / plastic because of this. 
Most of the third party scenery designers are like this though, including Orbx London and Chicago City packs which I own.

Yes, it's in the .kml file that lists all 700+ POIs.

According to the file, there are dupilcates of the POIs that were in WU3 (e.g. Windsor Castle, the Eden Project) and some buildings already covered by Orbx's Landmarks London City pack.
I have no idea yet whether there are any conflicts, there isn't a 'Configure' button in Orbx Central for this. Although the marketing does say its compatible with WU3. I've asked on their forums.

A general problem within MSFS, everything looks brand new.

Thank you. Yes, I wondered about conflicts with existing Orbx scenery especially in the London area.

Decent freeware version on flightsim.to is what I use.

Yes, it's not bad but I'm hoping this will be better.

Yes unfortunately this is putting me off a purchase, the Royal Pavilion in Brighton is cleaned on a regular basis but the in the video from ORBX it looks like it did on the day it was built.

I like to see old buildings properly weathered, which has put me off these packs in the past. I'll think about it though, as aside the clean look they have gone into great detail with all the POIs.
