As TrueEarth development continues, Orbx is dropping further details on their upcoming TrueEarth US projects and beyond. In particular, John Venema has detailed which areas we can expect work to be developed and also the inclusion of new PBR models and cityscapes.
So far, John confirmed, over 800 points of interest (POI) 3D models are planned for Washington State alone. These objects will be created using the latest PBR technology. Furthermore, there are plans to include many PBR cityscapes as well within these North American TrueEarth projects. The same details will also be included in further American TrueEarth projects in the future.
In the past, we’ve heard that Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and California were to be released as TrueEarth products in the future. John has now broken that down into the areas we can expect:
PNW Washington – Seattle, Bellevue, Everett, Tacoma, Olympia, Spokane, Victoria BC
PNW Oregon – Portland, Eugene
PNW British Columbia – Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, Nanaimo
Northern California – San Francisco, Alameda, Silicon Valley, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento
Southern California – Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Diego, Santa Maria, Long Beach
Further to that, John also shared what future projects may look like. There are plans well into 2020 for TrueEarth projects including New Zealand South and North, Spain, Austria, Norway and New England Martimes.
All of the information can be found via the Orbx forums. There are already a variety of TrueEarth projects available for Prepar3D, X-Plane 11 and Aerofly FS 2.
