Okavango delta anyone?

I bought flymex Monterrey and Mexico City packs, both are excellent but some of the assets load in practically when you are on top of them.

I don’t think it’s flymex but the update but they were only released this week for Xbox so should be fully up to date. Scandalous

Hi there, what’s the status on this scenery?
On Facebook there are few nice work in progress pictures of additional airfields.
Last time I flew there past SU7, there were some bugs on at least one airfield where tourists sitting in the air while the jeep was few meters away.

Are there any estimates when it will be updated with the new content?

It is a lot of work to finish so we need some time to go through it all.

Some bugs are hard to locate as there are thousands of objects in every area. If you can get some screenshots and coordinates, please send them in our support page and we will take care of it.

The video shows a drivable Land Rover, is this available yet? Especially so since the Pajero doesn’t seem to be downloadable anymore.

No it isn’t.
I am not even sure, if new animals were added after SU5, as new species were introduced.

Many thanks

I was looking at this in the marketplace sale, looks nice but it seems on here there were issues with it and I can’t find any comments that they were resolved. On FB 6 months ago the developer said they are adding 20 more airstrips but the marketplace description doesn’t cover this.

Does anyone know if there have been updates to this? Does it work with recent sim updates, and especially does it work on xbox x without CTD?

I’m having to be very careful with scenery purchases as many are unreliable on xbox, but this does look like fun.

It’s currently 50% off @ contrails webshop.

I do not have any answer , cause i didnt update that scenery since a long time ans i am not on Xbox. But you should try to directly write a message to the scenery développer via sws site . Or in another marketplace sailor . When i write to aerosoft for a question about a scenery even if they didnt made it ..they Always answer .
That is my though.

Hi, couple of questions for @SiRRiPPERORiG if you don’t mind :slight_smile:

  • When did this mod last receive an update?
  • Will you be expanding upon it anytime soon?
  • Will it be consistently supported should a Sim Update break something?

I’ve seen it in the current BF Sales but seeing as you’re repeating these sales over Xmas I may wait until then, I’m interested in this product but would like to see if there’s more to come from it in terms of fixes & updates in future, many thanks :slight_smile:

We have an update in the works adding some more airstrips (around 10 but don’t remember exactly) and some changes to the animals which will be very cool. We are also working on Maun (before the new terminal), but as a separate product.

This will be the last update for it, with subsequent updates only intended to ensure it works with sim updates.

Many thanks for your reply :slightly_smiling_face:

So it’s now February 22nd 2023. What’s the status of Okavango right now? Did the update come with the extra airports and proposed changes to the animals as mentioned above by the Dev, @SiRRiPPERORiG back in November 2022?
On the Simworks web page, it’s annoying that they do not specify what the current version is when you go to make a purchase.

The development on Okavango is still on-going with a lot of final checks/tweaks happening. When it will release I don’t know

I picked this up last night in the Easter sale. In the description it mentions it comes with a map and pdf brochure.
Unfortunately as I’m on xbox, that isn’t included. I’m wondering if anyone would be able to post a link to these online or point me in the right direction? I had a look on SimWork’s website but had no joy.

Obviously, If this isn’t allowed under forum rules please disregard.

I bought this also in this Easter sale, I’m on xbox X. I missed the info about the map, it would be nice if it was online for us. I haven’t needed a map though, it’s obvious where it is on the world map, it’s a cluster of 50 or so POI and airstrips in the middle of a currently empty continent.

I’ve had no issues flying with this on xbox any crashes were me hitting the ground not the sim crashing to desktop. :grin:

I’ve been flying around using the Zenith CH701 STOL which is on 93% discount from the same developer, and is perfect for this bush flying, both in capability and atmosphere.

I really like this product:

  • A bunch of nicely modelled airstrips
  • Heaps of animals, quite easy to find just flying around.
  • Most animals are static, or in some cases standing still with animated movement
  • I found plenty of walking animals, these seem to be mostly near the airstrips (even on it) which makes sense because that’s where you will fly the most. There are POIs if you want directions to find them.
  • I find this combination works well, there’s no way the sim can handle 1000s of animated animals, especially on xbox, so I think this is a good compromise. I don’t think it detracts much if you understand the limitation and apply a bit of imagination.
  • There are a bunch of camps that are very nicely modelled.
  • The area is quite beautiful.
  • I haven’t even tried the bush trip, I rarely use those as I prefer freestyle exploring.

All in all there’s a lot of fun to be had with this pack and I’m happy with it. Certainly looking forward to the famed update that never arrives, if we ever do get that then it should improve what is already a good product.
