Southern Alaska Released

Does someone know if there is a kml/kmz file for google earth that shows the coverage of this area? They usually post those on their forum but I couldn't find one.

Go to FullTerrain.com. Top left - more info. New page - top right of screenshot collection.
 
Hmm so it kind of requires Tongass Fjords then to complete the whole Pacific coast? Maybe I'll just wait for ORBX Global...


Thanks for posting that pic. :ernae:


EDIT: Thanks for the proper links guys. Kind of surprised they didn't have it in their announcement on their forum.

OrbX Global is only replacement textures, nothing else.
Tongass Fjord X is made by the very same guy who made the other OrbX regions (in NA, AU and NZ at least): Holger Sandman. Don't get confused because Tongass has a different distributor, FSAddon. It is of the same quality as the other OrbX regions by Holger and it seamlessly connects to them. OrbX actually did not include them because it was already done by their very own region guru. So if you want to fly from Ketchikan to Juneau or from Portland to Anchorage without ever leaving "Holgerland" you will definitely need to have Tongass Fjord X by FSAddon.
 
Hmmmm......

Wales or Alaska? :kilroy:

Probably going with Alaska since it plugs into the other paks.​
 
Ok, what the hell? I just bought this, downloaded and installed. There was some message about if I had any other FTX packages installed that I had to set the "FTX Control" application to "Default", and in that app it says that all "All Orbx FTX Features are disabled". And sure enough, all my PNW scenery is gone? So, if I install two ORBX products, I have to disable them? That's not good. I want my money back
 
You need to read a little more carefully. It said that FTX Central set the region to default at the end of the install, and you can set it to whatever region you wish. Set it back to NA, and you'll have PNW and SAK, and whatever other NA region or airports you've installed.
 
Yeah, I figured that out. The readme does say that you should set it to "default" before installing a new package. I didn't know there was any such thing as "FTX Central" before installing this one, but the installer took care of that for me as well, setting it to default, as you mentioned. I put it back to "North America" and all is right again. Smart folks, those guys at ORBX, even taking into account possible dunces like me!

That isn't really true. John has explained in detail what the plan is for Orbx Global. If you spend the extra bit to get updates and such, other features will be included.

I have addon landclass and vector scenery (UTX) for almost every place I fly, so until Orbx Global offers landclass and vector scenery, I'll be covered. Of course that won't give me the finer details of the Orbx regions, but it'll be more than 3/4 of the way there IMHO. You won't be able to beat the price/sq mi. of the global pack.

I don't think I'll be buying any more regions unless they are for the lower 48 states. Can't wait for global!
