I have all the OpenLC packages as well as the TopoSim Planet Earth Bundle and on my P3D v4 install had both setup although for regions where I had an OpenLC product I generally turned it off. Now that I am gradually filling out my P3D v5 setup I am wondering if these are really competing products or are complementary. Of course the Toposim products are mesh rather than land class so will always install my Open LC product but is it a good or a bad idea to install the Toposim mesh in areas where I already have an Open LC product.

My Take on these options OpenLC Light (no new textures unique to Asia, just a re-allocation / recycling of existing textures for a better landscape I would rather not compromise on quality so this would be my least favorite choice, unless all the others take too much time. Mini OpenLCs complementary to OpenLC Light (analogous to regions, e. g. Japan, Thailand) Sounds too much like the region packs, now if there were a Japan region available, I would buy it today. Multiple OpenLCs (splitting Asia into a few smaller areas approx. the size of Europe, e. g. Middle

That did the trick and things are looking back to normal, now to re-install all my packages. -
resolved Island of Jersey is now desert after v5 hotfix
joefremont replied to joefremont's topic in PREPAR3D® V5.x Support Forum
I decided to un-install clean everything and start again and document at every step. So I uninstalled all my Orbx base, open LC, regions and other global packages. I uninstalled and re-installed the base P3D scenery and content packages and took a screenshot of Jersey without any extra packages, this is what it looks like. Then I installed Orbx Base, Looks ok. Next Installed Open LC Europe, strage night nextures showing the main image and then an over head. But as I few around many of the night textures disappeared. I uninstalled, reinstalled inside P3D, verified, n -

My Orbx scenery is pretty messed up after installing the V5 hotfix, one of my favorite places to fly is the island of Jersey but after installing the hotfix instead of the green English country side it now looks like a desert island, as you can see in the screen shot below. After reading Nick's "Installing the P3D V5 Hotfix 1 correctly" post I uninstalled my Orbx Base files, All my open LC libraries, England Region and TE-GBS. Deleted the Prepar3d.cfg file, verified the libraries, re-downloaded the base and regions and ran the Sync Simulator, command in Orbx Central, and it stil

TrueEarth GB - one man's view
joefremont replied to Ariel's topic in General Discussion - NO SUPPORT REQUESTS HERE PLEASE
I had a worse problem going when flying from Scotland to Southern England in January when I only had TE-GBS installed along with my older England and Scotland packages. the distinct line where the snow ended and summer colours started were jarring and at the time I though only one season of textures was reason by itself to not use the product. Since we are now heading into summer and since the performance of V5 is so much better I am re-installing TE but will probably remove it again in the fall. -
I was very pleased when V5 came out and most of my Orbx products were compatible with it, but on going through my list there are a few I own that are not compatible, these include: CityScene Barcelona CityScene Charleston * CityScene Orlando * EGPB Sumburgh Airport KBLU Blue Canyon-Nyack Airport KRDD Redding Municipal Airport KSTS Sonoma County Regional Airport NZMF Milford Sound Airport YBAS Alice Springs Airport While I know it would be foolish to ask for a release date for the updates but I am curious if they will be updated at some point or if they

resolved Stuck in My Products
joefremont replied to joefremont's topic in Orbx Central Support Forum
Never mind, just after I posted this it forced me to re-log in and then it returned to normal. -
Operating system: Windows 10 Simulator: P3D4.5 Screenshot: Issue: Normally when you use orbx central there are several categories in the left menu where you can browse through all the products, see my products, see whats downloading and the orbx logo is on top, but somehow today I seam to be stuck in the 'My Products' section with no way out of it, is this the way its supposed to be or is there a problem. I did try re-downloading and re-installing orbx central. central.log

I have been noticing an interesting problem with AI aircraft in my p3d setup. Installed I have P3Dv4.5, JustFlight Traffic Global, and ORBX General Aviation AI traffic for North America and Australia. I started an adventure in Australia and am flying to Europe, first thing I noticed was a Float Beaver parked at an airport in the middle of the outback, figured it was ORBX AI with there strange Aussie sense of humor and thought no more of it. Today I was coming into land at Burgas, Bulgaria and was behind another aircraft on short final, and kept waiting for the 'exit runway when a

Thanks for the information Nick, the key thing for me seams to be turning off the shadows, then my performance is acceptable. This is unfortunate as in general I am really impressed how P3D looks with all the shadows and reflections turned on. But I figure I can have one graphics profile for TE environments and another for everywhere else.

active TE GB South poor performance in 4.5
joefremont replied to Jcannon83's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
Good point, I though there might be some that give more performance increase than others, but I turned them all of and still was getting around 5 fps. With the older England installed I was getting around 20-25 fps and my system usually gets 50-70 in other areas. Well I think its still not ready for prime time, TE-GBS is coming back off the system for now. -
active TE GB South poor performance in 4.5
joefremont replied to Jcannon83's topic in PREPAR3D® V4.x Support Forum
I am having the same problems and my specs are a bit higher than Jcannon83's. Windows 10 Home, Intel I7-7820HK CPU, 32GB ram, NVidia GTX 1080 P3D and ORBX all installed on an SSD. I load up the Carenado F33 which is not a Frame rate hog at EGLC and head towards the center of the city and am getting around than 5 fps. I got TE South when it first came out and tried it one P3D 4.4 but performance was the same so I removed it and though I would try later after the bugs had been worked out. Now that P3D 4.5 is out and the 1.1 release I thought I would try TE
