Has anyone heard of this? I just came across it in PC Pilot. Very exciting.

It's been on the cards for a while now. I think development started near the beginning of the year. I'm eagerly awaiting this one too!

Darn it...what a tease!!! Thought it came out.

ORBX has a forum with some images on the product and there is a forum here also

One thing I do find a bit remarkable is that they don't say a word on UK2000 Xtreme airports compability. I don't get it; OrbX is not interested in making large airports, they generally focus on GA. Seems to me it would be worth the additional effort if they could work something out with Gary Summons of UK2000.

On a personal note; I have all UK2000 Xtreme airports and OrbX/FTX England not being compatible with them might be a deal breaker for me.

Considering the size and nature of what ORBX is doing, Gary should be the one to approach them about any type of compatibility, especially if any photoreal base is included as it will need to be adjusted to blend with the ORBX textures..

I dont know, uk2000 is very well know, respected and infact used by a significant amount of the simmers that fly in the UK. It would make more sense for OrbX to initiate the contact IMO, as UK2000 already has a host of existing sceneries for this area. They might of course have done this already, im not an insider

I sure hope Orbx does what Ultimate Terrain does this time. Because right now they conflict with most default fsx textures and that messes up flying in other parts of the world. UTX uses their own textures that are separate from the fsx default so it does not cause conflicts. Also agree about uk2000 compatibility. I don't fly any of their other areas because there are few big airports with payware quality design.

Yes I would like to know about GEX Europe and UTX Europe and Uk2000 Airports .

I live in England and own about 7 orbx products so can't wait for ftx England. But would like to know if it will work with above as I will want to continue to use uk2000 airports and GEX and UTX Europe for when I fly out the Uk to for example France.

two different things... UTX does no use custom autogen and ORBX does . UTX just use default textures and autogen.

 

i dont think ORBX can be compatible with GEX since it use its own texture

 

also i dont know what everyone means when they say nobody at orbx has said anything about uk2000 or other addons ???

The mods are sure getting carried away moving post's around lately.

Orbx have said that it will be up to developers to patch their products to resolve any issues with FTX EU. That's understandable since it would be very difficult for Orbx to design for everything. Having said that, I think they are trying to get elevations as close to UK2000 as possible.

 

And I agree, this seems like a pretty relevant FSX post. I just don't care to look in all the sub-forums.
