Orbx for P3D6 (update) now in Orbx Central so go do your download.

Ooo. Does this mean that all scenery and airports are actually compatible too? I don't have 6 yet but I'm keeping an eye on it.

I do not think so...

I couldn't find anything on the ORBX forums about this.  Of course, the content is 90+% MSFS-related now, so sifting through all those posts is not easy, so I may have missed it.

My ORBX Central does show P3Dv6 as a simulator choice now, but it's a moot point for me as I installed the v5 stuff and just pointed P3Dv6 to those libraries.  I'm not sure that the v5 global range of scenery actually needs any changes to be compatible with v6, so one would think that it would be a very simple software update to make v6 installers. 

My guess is that P3D is such a low priority for ORBX that even something as simple as this is taking a lot of time.

I'm just grateful that they're taking any time at all with p3d unlike some devs who are burning bridges like it was fashionable.

When I use the v6 dropdown, it only shows BASE Pack, VECTOR, and ObjectFlow under My Products.  Makes me wonder if they are making products compatible gradually over time.

Let’s hope they’re not stopping there. Nice of them considering no upgrade fee.

I installed the Global Base Pack and Vector into V6. There was little if any improvement in the scenery that I could see.

I swear I read that vector was no longer needed in 6 as it had its own improved vectoring?

IMHO it is not needed in version five or six.

When you look at the e version number is the same as for V4+...

It also installs Global base in the root and offers a migration option to outside the root....

 

Also it creates a P3D V6 folder inside the Library , so it adds an entry for V6 in your add-ons.cfg.... may eNd up with double scenery entries.

I installed V6 Base Pack, Libraries and ObjectFlow. I'm really glad orbx made these available. Up until now, I never could get orbx products like HD Trees or HD Buildings working by pointing them to v5. Sometimes I got no autogen at all. I now have all orbx products working in V6. What really seems to have made these products compatible with V6 were the V6 libraries.

In a way off topic but I stopped using v6 due to Flytampa textures being blurry and extremely dark cockpits in particular the 787 by QW.  Has anyone gotten the QW VC to not be so dark? If this are migrating over to v6 I may have to shift to V6 from v5.4if ORBX is migrating everything over.

Are you using Auto Exposure?  If so, you can change the minimum and maximum exposure settings in the P3D.cfg file.

This is how I've managed to brighten several different VCs.

Ill have to give it a shot. Thank you for the suggestion.
