FTX North America Landclass released...

Those who bought the original that covered Northern North America will get an automatic discount. Split into 4 parts which must all be downloaded to create the lc for the whole of North America.

However the servers seem to be massively overloaded at present so although I have made my purchase I have given up trying to download for now and will try again tomorrow.
 
I'm one that purchased the early version (Alaska/Canada) and qualify for the discount however, despite the size of the download I'm wondering just how significant the overall change in appearance will actually be. I already have Vector Basic, FTX Global Basic, North America-Canada/Alaska and European Landclass. Plus a number of individual payware airports and all the freeware airports. Unless I were to fly to every region in the US, which I won't, I don't know if even at $32 it's worth getting.
 
Not Today, the store works very slow, I'm afraid what will be with download purchase .... :biggrin-new: !
 
I can't wait to get this as the textures look amazing and I like flying everywhere. Plus it has most of the Bahamas, Caribbean, and goes down to Central America. Granted, there are problems with the beaches in some of those areas, but they're going to fix those. Now I'll be able to fly over some great textures when commuting between my west coast and east coast airports.
 
I´m confused now

I have the previous (Alaska/Canada) package too. Does this new package NA have what is covered with the first package? Do i have to uninstall it before installing the new complete LC NA package?
Also, i don´t see where is the discount in FSS store. Can someone point me to it? (FSS shop is very slow at the moment)

Thanks.
 
Good question about uninstalling the original first. I honestly don't know but either Nick will answer or we need to post in the ORBX forums.
 
Ed at ORBX has stated there is no need to uninstall OpenLC Alaska/Canada. Just install the new OpenLC NA over the top.
 
Yes, the installers search for what is already installed and only add missing or updated files.
The discount is indeed applied at the checkout.
 
I just wanted to get it,but before i tick "Confirm Order" i shall pay AUD31.
I have the NA LC and the senior discount.
Should be AUD 22 or will this appear after i have confirmed order?

Is this AUS$54.95 - AUS$22.50 = $32.45 less 20% =AUS$25.96?
I don't qualify for the senior discount, is that given at the checkout?
 
Got it paid for but can't get to the download link. Servers are overwhelmed.

With the upgrade discount and the conversion to USD it was only $24 and change. Great deal.

Log into your account before starting the purchase. This will advise their system that you qualify for the over 65 discount.
 
I think i did it.
Now it`s too late,the purchase hangs waiting for PayPal.
Cannot delete it.
I mailed them,but now i have to wait for an answer.

I logged in first and then went to purchase, the only discount prior to transferring me to paypal was the initial $22 dollar discount.

I had a bunch of points saved up and just threw those at it. . .brought it to $22. US. . .pretty good deal.

I just purchased this. Based on a quick 30 min. flight over my home area of Louisiana, an area where I have frequently flown in real life as well as sim life, all I can say is WOW. I haven't looked at other areas yet. However, if what I saw over the New Iberia-Lafayette area is indicative of the entire package, it is worth every penny of the $50 bucks or so.

I have both GTX US V2 for PD3 and MegaScenery Earth. This package comes close to MegaScenery in the detail. However, it's colors are more natural and it provides wonderful autogen. The city of New Iberia is 30-40,000 souls. In UTX it hardly shows. In FTX NA LC it is not only there in the appropriate size and density, the streets are as accurate as a map. I could easily pick out the major streets from 1500' AFL.

I have just recently returned from Alaska, where I did some flying out of Anchorage in a Cessna 206 and a DHC Beaver. I want to re-fly that area in PD3 using this new landclass scenery. I bet it will approach the real thing. Especially if I can land on the beach, like we did.
 
This looks great but if I am adding it up right I would have to spend $116.25US (FTX Global Base@75.01 + NA Landclass@41.24). Yikes!
