ORBX Plum Island Airport & Minute Man Air Field
Hi Bill,
Recently I bought your Plum Island Airport & Minute Man Air Field on ORBX page and I would like to ask you whether ORBX libraries need to be installed for full functionality of your scenery.I have no other ORBX scenery.
Thanks
Charles

Hi Charles,
I've added some Orbx library objects to the Orbx versions of Plum island/Minute Man and Nantucket, so yes, you'll need to update your libraries via FTX Central to use them.
By the way, for Orbx scenery questions, please use the Orbx support forum.
thanks,
Bill

Re: ORBX Plum Island Airport & Minute Man Air Field
Hi Bill. I'm sorry to re-use your forum, but it takes a long time on ORBX forum to get the answer because of too many topics.
As I wrote in the previous post I bought your great Plum Island Airport & Minute Man Air Field.Everything works and looks great except for photoscenery near Plum Island airport and here I am a little disappointed.The photoscenery has a tint of purple and ground phototextures arent "crisp and clear" as it is at 60 cm/pix resolution but seems like 2m/pix photoscenery (coloured spots).All my fsx settings are exactly as in the user manual.Can you help me?
Thanks
Charles

I recently did an update for the 2B2 orthophoto to enhance the coloring and blend it better into the terrain. As for the resolution, it's unfortunately the best available at the moment. If you migrated to the Orbx version there should be a patch for Plum Island available soon. We're testing it now.

Good news Bill.Thank you very much for the answer.
I did not migrate from iBlueYonder version I bought it directly on OrbxDirect.com.

Hi Bill.Yesterday I flew the area around Minute Man Air Field and this area is absolutely eye candy.Fantastic job Bill.Area around Plum island is too great but not as great as "Minute Man" area.I hope this will improve by your patch.Do both areas use the same ortho resolution?Minute man area seems sharper
.
Thanks
Charles

Re: ORBX Plum Island Airport & Minute Man Air Field
The Minute Man ortho is definitely sharper. The source image for Plum Island is pretty rough - I had to clean it up a lot to make it look half decent. In the update that should be posted soon (if not already), I did improve the coloring a bit. There's not much more I can do about the resolution, though.Charles wrote: ↑Tue Apr 17, 2018 5:05 pmHi Bill.Yesterday I flew the area around Minute Man Air Field and this area is absolutely eye candy.Fantastic job Bill.Area around Plum island is too great but not as great as "Minute Man" area.I hope this will improve by your patch.Do both areas use the same ortho resolution?Minute man area seems sharper.

Thank you for the explanation Bill.It would be possible upgrade the Plum Island ortho in the future if better ortho resolution will be available?

Let's wait and see if the source ever gets updated and go from there.
