BrianV 514 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Awesome, Norway is fantastic and Torp is a great addition. Hope it makes it to P3D too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Er!k 78 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Very nice! Cannot wait to fly there. Hopefully there is some snow then Link to post Share on other sites
Scandinavian 20 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Fantastic. Torp is always a nice airport flying to, but the scenery for it has been a bit dated for a while. Hopefully Finn Hansen will move on to the west coast when he is done with this. ENBR, ENHD and ENZV are all in bad need of some updated scenery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BrianV 514 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Not to mention further north. Lofoten airports (a package?) would be a fantastic addition to MSFS. Link to post Share on other sites
carlosqr 5,050 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Very nice indeed I would not duplicate people (avatars) right in the same scene like in picture #4, the girl in white and gray dress is twice and that kills the realism Cheers Carlos Edited January 11 by carlosqr 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The airport looks great, but duplication of those people models (only where the same models are close to one another), introduces unnecessary repetition and therefore breaks the immersion. I would be grateful if the developers could take on this feedback. Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MasonDominique 123 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Inside modeling is just great. To me, it's going to be VFR flights with Notodden and incoming Kristiansand Dom Mason Link to post Share on other sites

Not a realism killer. And boy have we come a long way when the top airport complaint is the people inside the airport! Edited January 11 by Seanmo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Looks horrible I'm not sure how "horrible" it feels to me when I pass over the crowd 50 feet above at 130 knots. Those three whole frames of "horrible" aren't that bad IMHO. Repetition in this kind of accessorial elements isn't some sort of laziness. It's for performance. Edited January 11 by Abriael 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I never said it was due to laziness otherwise I would not buy Orbx I understand the performance issue but if so, just one is enough, duplicating gives other impression. For me it is important as I not only fly in the scenery I also "walk" along the whole scenery and check every single detail. In P3D I climbed with the avatar the mountains in front of the airport of Milford Sound, yes it took a long time to swim with the whales and dolphins and climb every mountain until the very last one that faces the sea. Oh and the big one behind the airport too, I had a full view of it from very high from the avatar's eyes. So flying over the crowd at 50 feet above at 130 knots in Saint Martin might certainly not be horrible but when you are on the beach with the crowd it definitely is, looks cheap Maybe you don't immerse that deep into your sim but I do, I can spend more than 20 hrs on it, in a raw. Actually is 3:56 am here Cheers Carlos Edited January 12 by carlosqr Link to post Share on other sites
John Dow 1,376 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Probably important to remember that Orbx is a flight simulation company. Not an architectural or landscape modelling entity. The scenery's purpose is to look as realistic as possible within the constraints of software and hardware, to a variety of pilots flying a variety of aircraft, in normal legal flying operations, whether that is RPT flights or weekend VFR jaunts. Certainly when beta testing our focus is to look at the airport scenery from an aviator's point of view, rather than delving into every corner to see if every last detail has been rendered perfectly.

carlosqr 5,050 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Agreed Points of view and interests are varied, as the way each person enjoys things. I have seen up to 4 times the same avatar in an Orbx scenery and this doesn't hold me from enjoying it under any perspective. My intention was to say that avoiding some little things, the result could look better, at least for "that" niche of clients but if it is taken this way no problem at all. With or without the duplication the airport is worthy, so let's celebrate it Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
