February 19, 201016 yr Just exactly what area is this going to cover, I looked on the FTX website and could not see a detailed list or map of the covered area.The Pacific NW is a big place, in my opinion it covers at the least Oregon, Washington and Idaho.Regards,Rod

It reaches from north of Vancouver Island to southern Oregon and inland to just east of the crest of the cascade mountains. The FTX forum also says the download version will be available from 28 Feb (I wonder if that is australian time?) with the DVD version available "by the end of March".
February 20, 201016 yr Commercial Member Screenshots show placeholder trees based on illustration (similar to how FSX default are done). This week we're adding the new photoreal trees made by Bill Womack, which look the business. Cheers, John Venema
February 20, 201016 yr Hey John!Fantastic!! Congrats to you and your team! It's going to be a BIG week!! :)
February 21, 201016 yr There is a Google map showing coverage and airports on their website,check it out here...http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=15897.0 I guess that I am either blind or the link to the map is broke, because I can not find a link to a map anyplace on the thread that you link took me to. Anyway, thanks for trying!Rod
February 21, 201016 yr You must indeed be blind :( It's right in front of your eyes as soon as you click the link...Here's the pic of the coverage area: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?ac....0;attach=14799Here's the .kmz for Google Earth: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?ac....0;attach=14798

February 22, 201016 yr I don't quite understand why, if they want to sell the product, the detailed coverage area map only seems to be availble by registering with the FTX forum. Easy enough I know but surely that info should be freely available rather than the very small coverage map shown on the product page.
