Has anyone tried Isle of Man in Prepar3D V2.3?

Thanks, Ray. I recently flew from Scotland (Orbx) down to Isle of Man, and man, did it look bad!!! It is not part of the OpenEU LC, and is not part of the EU series from Orbx. I think JV purposely let ES have it all to themselves, so completing the "English Isles" would be good.

Yes Dave, it's all good :) Isle of Man and the PhotoGenESis and AutoGenESis products are light years ahead of the orbx regions in terms of accuracy and detail. No ugly vector roads, proper accurate coastlines with transitional water masking (no harsh vector coastlines), real life ground detail, full autogen so no flat textures (and the autogen is much more detailed and customised to the local area), seasonal changes and beautiful lighting... It's as good as it gets in FSX and P3D IMHO

If anyone has the Isle of Man, could they please tell a little about it? Ups? Downs? I have Orbx England and Whales but that is it, and I am really liking what they have done to the area, ES that is, from their screen shots.

 

With this sale, thinking about finishing up that area!

Why not start with the Avsim review of IOM? It kinda tells the story.

IOM was already completed by EOS when Orbx came to England AFAIK.

Si. Still downloading - damn big files!

 

I have heard some "grungleness" about the ESInstaller. Having fired it up and working with it (I purchased IoM, Guernsey. and Alderney) it find it more akin to the GEX update program. "This is what you have, this is what you need". Pretty straightforward. I actually wish Orbx had a similar installer.

Sheesh. "Gruntleness", as in disgruntled.

 

Still downloading. As of 5PM PDT I was running about 1Mbs download. Then it went to 500 Kbs. Now it is 100Kbs (9PM PDT). Not yet disgruntled...   :P

Well I bought IOM and Installed it in FSX. Now all I have to do is transfer it to P3D V2. They have instructions in there FAQ's how to do it for P3D but it doesn't specify V2. Judging by the many screen shots I have seen and if it is to my liking I can see myself taking further advantage of this sale. I will have to hide my CC bill from the wife again! LOL

ES Isle of Man is (IMO) the best scenery package for FS. Unbelievably detailed, and over 750 sq.kms to explore. This is significantly larger than any of their other island packages (including Guernsey). I haven't even scratched the surface of it yet (I have been messing about doing circuits at the large airports in the UK), but I intend to concentrate on VFR sight seeing trips now that I have P3D (and the PhotoGenesis/AutoGenesis packages are starting to be released).

The only thing I found that wasn't working 100% in P3D2 when I reviewed IOM was the night lighting. ES have changed it so their night lighting now works as it's supposed to in P3D2 in the new autogenesis release. You probably won't, but if you have any probs with the night lighting in your IOM download drop Darren a line using the support ticket system because it should be easily solvable with a couple of readily available files :) Cheers K
