Often a mod pops up on flightsim.to where some kind soul places POI markers for this kind of thing. It’s a shame that with all the work that’s gone into them that you may not see it all without something like that.

He’s done it all by hand on requests from users. I’m sure when he’s back he’ll start taking requests again. There’s a full list of everything done on the purchase page I believe, but it includes a lot of sunken boats made 3D, harbours, huts, removal of PG tree monstrosities etc. Worth a purchase at some point.

Looks like you have it visible to me. The default scenery doesn’t look as near as nice as that. Kelvingrove and Glasgow Uni should look good too. See 2nd and 3rd pics below.

It’s a nice add on but you do have to go look for them. They are often smaller than you think they will be unless you are at maybe at 200ft! I just toured around Aberdeen this evening. They have included a few landmarks around the city. Also Dunnottar Castle to the south. Love seeing the moving sea below the cliffs and also the UK birds add on producing seagulls flying around it (to the right here). I am continually amazed by VFR in this sim. I do spend most of my time IFR at FL300 though!

Orbx has added the POI’s to the Discover map on their Orbx Central app now.
Fyi I am really pleased with this new freeware photogrammetry for Manchester
Does this conflict with Orbx GB Central or work with it?
It does conflict, the buildings are drawn on top of each other. However the photogrammetry seems to be at a slightly higher elevation than the standard terrain so the skyline all comes from a consistent source. It just means that for a couple of buildings (eg arndale tower) you can see the logo twice, at different elevations. Despite this I’m running both together to get the high quality Manchester and the other bits from Orbx in surrounding towns.

Orbx do tend to conflict with a lot of third party stuff. Their masts and radomes clash with We Love VFR add on, and their recent Great Britain North pack, one of their buildings on the Isle of Man clashes with UK2000’s Isle of Man airport. I wish their big packs like this had a way we could check or uncheck individual POI’s to avoid the duplicates.
You would think a pack of 400 to 600 POI’s would have this by default considering the likelihood of clashing. I did post on the Orbx forum about it a few weeks ago but they didn’t even reply.

I have ordered EU great Britain North today. After being very impressed with the central one
can someone get in contact with the developers and tell them they got radio city tower wrong its purple for some reason
They have a forum for reporting that kind of problem.
@BragRaindrop933 - sorry for bringing back an old subject here, but I finally got around to installing Sky4Sim Pad (NG) and wondered how I go about importing those KML files from the Orbx Packs into it to show POI’s on the tablet map. Is it possible?
Sorry I’ve not used Sky4sim in a while. Not since using Navigraph and also the enhanced in game map, which largely has the information I need without using sky4sim. I seem to remember someone did import the KML to google maps for GB north, just not sure how you get those POI’s in game, or in sky4sim or indeed in little nav map. If you find out let me know. Would be good to have them imported to world map without using SDK say.

I havent seen the two old bridges rail and road at Runcorn they are missing taking off at Liverpool. They have The new toll bridge and Fiddlers Ferry power station though which is nice to see. Hope they will add the bridges in, that will compliment Liverpool and Runcorn area greatly.
