• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Orbx Optica

Tried the freeware version and it isn't a finished product and a dog on frame rates. Needs to be optimized and snuffed up.

I asked NewkTV (of Aerosoar) on his YT what happened to the flightsim.to portover project. If he's active here he might chime in of course, but the gist is that he removed it as he was close to releasing a native version, but ORBX's announcement of their own unrelated native version may put his native version on ice.
 
I don't see why he should shelve his own native version. There are always people on a budget (ME!) that might just try out the freeware, and if it fills the need, might decide not to go the payware route.

Tom (or anyone else here, for that matter!), I have that freeware Optica, if needed.... NC
 
I had it, and, well, let's just say it had issues. I'm spoiled on the detail of the defaults (never thought I'd say that), so I'll hold off for something native.

To be honest, if the native freeware is at least "good," it's ORBX that should be worried!
 
The good news is NewkTV didn't shelf the project after all, and the freeware Aerosoar Optica releases tonight atound 1AM CST!
 
The freeware is UP on flightsim.to. Trending. FUN!
