I was perusing another thread on avsim and the thread title was mentioned a couple times. Has orbx stated they are working on this? If so have they indicated which states it will cover?

I don't know - but I remain ever hopeful!

I would truly hope they don't skip my lil ol' midwest area before heading to the East coast....:D

Nope....Northern California next and / or Southern Rocky Mountains and I think Bill Womack has started work on New England for Orbx FTX

I haven't heard of any announcement to that effect. It's true that I'm working on a handful of projects for NEM (New England & Maritimes).

Here's the word from Holger over on the FTX boards.Bill - if you're looking as far south as Jersey that's me. I'd be happy to lend support if needed.

I sincerely hope that Orbx eventually tackles Florida.

Jersey is a bit far south for New England, but there are a lot of places we're hoping to get to eventually.

I certainly agree with lining the East coast to be honest, as it allows regional flights and long-haul flights to enjoy the wonders of ORBX scenery during takeoff and landing. Currently I'm enjoying a lot of Portland to Ketchikan and back, so I can't wait to be able to complete the run to Anchorage from Seattle with Alaska Air and then cross the continent to JFK and the like. But good things come to those who wait, so I'll be waiting patiently to get my hands on anything to arrive at the ORBX stable.

Yea, we're more Mid-Atlantic this is true.
