Ok I just purchased and spent 40 minutes going around places with the drone cam. I live in Devon and mostly fly in the south of England, which means I am well aware of every piece of scenery for this part of the world, and sadly, this Orbx scenery clashes with most of them. For example the beautiful HMS Victory model from Seafront Simulations now has an ugly, much inferior version enmeshed into it. I assumed there would be POIs of places like Exeter Cathedral, Killerton House, Teignmouth Pier, Paignton Pier but seemingly not. Other models, such as the Tamar bridge and some buildings they have put up in Plymouth clash with my RealVFR scenery of Plymouth. The only POI models I've found in Devon were Totnes Castle and Compton Castle, both very low quality. I can't see any farm animals at all yet, and there is no missions or discovery tours that I can find anywhere for the churches and castles. I'll try it properly over the weekend, by which time we'll hopefully have a POI list to know what is and isn't there, but right now it's very disappointing. I think over the last three years I've downloaded every southern England add on on Flightsim. and bought every payware scenery and between them all, they do a better job than Orbx seem to here. I might end up uninstalling it.

Glad to hear ORBX South has been released as I live in East Sussex. I own all 3 ORBX Great Britain add-ons for X-Plane and now for MSFS. I’m going to do the same as I did with my X-Plane ORBX versions and fly around the whole of the UK coast line in various GA & Helicopters. It took me one week from Shoreham-By-Sea airport (EGKA) and back again, travelling anti-clockwise, stopping off at various airports which were close to the coast . I definitely recommend this UK tour if you haven’t done it before. I wrote down on a notepad every airport stop-off and every aircraft I used. Some parts of the UK are stunning from the air at altitude 2000ft - 5000ft. A must flight for all, especially UK resident simmers 😉

Do you have the Vessel's UK South East scenery pack by Seafront Simulations? It adds lots of superb boat models including Nelson's HMS Victory which I can see in your sim too. I hope they don't clash! The worst part of Orbx scenery packs is the disregard they have for other developers models, even sometimes Asobo's own World Update POIs and they just whack one of their own models down on top of it. If they have done the same here it could be that Portsmouth ends up looking a lot worse than it does without GB South added, for those of us who own the Vessels add on...

@@Huddison Vessels covers all the ports, docks and rivers east of the Solent up to as far Rochester.

Nice video, but sadly not thrue and over enthousiast. My default Oxford scenery is exacly the same as yours with GB ORBX. So no enhanchment at all. Also is my london scenery at default the same. The Dover scenery and the spinnaker tower (southampton) has indeed some little (mostly some ships) improvements. Maybe your review first default flight was with the Bing download error active? Its not the qualtity we are used to from ORBX i think. But the price is also low.

I've just checked the files. This addon clashes with Seafront southern coast addon in Portsmouth harbour. You end up with the docked big ships on top of each other. If you remove Seafront you lose all the boats in the marinas, but strangely get Warrior in the Museum area. Also as mentioned Victory looks trouble. It is ashame this has happened.

I Purchased, downloaded, and flew for myself to see it :) ( now have all three regions of the UK :) \o/ and by this? i do NOT detract from the quality of your vids Huddison ;) well done, and TY for bringing this to my attention ;) At this low price for this? I would get this before any more aircraft (that i wanted to purchase today) mainly because i'd get more enjoyment flying my fav aircraft around the south with True earth, indeed than wanting something else to fly. Note to All: Please delete, then reinstall your rolling cache if you use this to appreciate the very best from true earth south. Edit, I had Bamboos "Severn" Bridges installed, i took them out "Prior" to installing TE South (just to test it), and yep the old, and new bridges for the severn, are included with TES ;) Certainly Dover has been realised way better, yet Dover Castle? sadly has not been included i see. Albeit...Added a big thumbs up from me.
