Orbx Updates TrueEarth GB Range for X-Plane 11

Turning their attention back across the pond following this week's release of TrueEarth US Southern California, Orbx have unveiled updates for all three of their Great Britain range of TrueEarth products.

GB South receives the lion's share of the adjustments, with new heliports added at Longships (EGLN), Wolf's Rock (EGWR), Bishop's Rock (EGBR) and London City Heliport (EGLW). A number of point-of-interest specific changes were also made, amusingly fixing bugs where Windsor Castle would float above ground and Wembley Stadium was placed twice. The full list of changes for TrueEarth GB South is available here:

  • Add new landable helipads EGLN Longships, EGWR Wolf's Rock, EGBR Bishop's Rock, EGLW London City Heliport
  • Fixed ghosting buildings around London
  • Fixed floating Windsor Castle
  • Removed erroneous building spikes around Welby
  • Removed petrol station in the water at Dartmouth
  • Removed doubled Wembley stadium
  • Made Wembley Stadium landable
  • Fixed purple water issue in Barmouth
  • Aligned the Severn Bridge correctly
  • Aligned the second severn bridge correctly
  • Added missing mast at North Hessary
  • Added missing lighthouses at Scilly - St Agnes, Peninn's Head and Round Island
  • Removed excessive PBR effect on autogen
  • Added slight colour variation to trees and buildings
  • Added Rugeley Power Station
  • Added missing Lake Llyn Celny, Bala, North Wales

Moving up the country, GB Central saw a similar swath of fixes for landmarks, with a few added, fixed and adjusted whilst "large building spikes" seen throughout the scenery were removed. Here's the change list for that scenery:

  • Removed large building spikes throughout the scenery
  • Added Gainsborough power station
  • Added Bilsdale Mast
  • Added Westside Edge Mast
  • Fixed doubling up of the Mersey Gateway Bridge
  • Fixed alignment of Runcorn Bridge
  • Removed duplicated wind turbines

Lastly we come to TrueEarth GB North, the latest to be released, having launched in January of 2019. Unlike the other two sceneries, this is the first update the product has received, with mesh compatibility updates making way for a new rendition of Dundee Airport, which was announced back in February 2020. No other changes were mentioned for version 1.1.0.

The Great Britain series marked the first of Orbx's TrueEarth adventures in X-Plane, with the first scenery coming in October 2018. Comparatively, their most recent TrueEarth product, US Southern California, was released less than 7 days ago.
