Orbz NZ mesh released but I won't be buying it. Here is why

People that think Asobo both promised and furthermore were capable of providing, at release, a 1:1 scenic representations of the entire planet, one that is impossible to improve upon with third party addons, are somewhat delusional.

What they promised and provided is default scenery which is far better than default P3D and XPlane - but it is also far from perfect and can definitely be improved upon. Asobo themselves improve upon it every time they do a world update.

What Orbx have offered is the option to improve the scenery in a small part of the world, if you fly their regularly, at a price that for most people is not a huge loss if Asobo later on do a world update and make it redundant.

  • If you fly in NZ a lot, have the cash, and will not be devastated if it eventually becomes redundant because Asobo eventually made the default game even better than this addon, then buy it.
  • If you rarely fly in NZ if at all, are strapped for cash and really cannot afford it, or feel very strongly that all addons should be a permanent enhancement you cherish and will use and enjoy forever more, do not buy it.
