November 26, 201510 yr Shame they don't have any more UK packages, or I would have added my cash to their bank account.

November 26, 201510 yr Shame they don't have any more UK packages, or I would have added my cash to their bank account. I intend to buy several more of their airports, particularly those in the UK. I have noticed that non-ORBX airports mostly do not match the surrounding ORBX textures, particularly in all seasons. One exception are Sim720: their airports match ORBX in all seasonsl (I think this may be due to the fact that, as I understand it the Sim720 team sub-contracted to ORBX for most of the UK regions.) But the reason that ORBX have not put out that many UK airports is because, as I understand it, their UK airports have not sold that well. And that may be partly due to the fact that other developers already cover the region so well: UK2000- in England, Scotland and Wales, and Eiresim and ScotFlight in Ireland and Scotland. I own most of the UK2000 Extreme and VFR airports. I am very happy with them, except that the texture match with ORBX FTX England and ORBX FTX Scotland is satisfactory in Summer but not so in the other seasons.

November 26, 201510 yr My theory regarding the lack of sales of ORBx UK airports? They should have also made them fully compatible with PlayHorizon VFR GenX and JustFlight VFR Real photoscenery. I suspect that they would have sold a lot more copies if they had done this. SIM720 do not seem to have a problem making their airports compatible with default/ORBx/photoscenery, so why can't ORBx do it? Die hard photoscenery users are not going to switch to generic landclass scenery for the sake of using a handful of highly detailed individual airfields. The point I am trying to make here is that if UK photoscenery compatibility had been built in from the start, then sales would probably have been better, and new UK airfields might have been in production to this day.

November 26, 201510 yr Thinking of FTX Norway, how is it? Brilliant! Detail is amazing, used in conjunction with Aerosoft scenery and the freeware Airports of Norway you could fly around for a year and discover something new every day. It's worth it at full price.

November 28, 201510 yr Well I purchased Global and a few different regions and a few airports, paid for it, got a confirmation email and.... nothing. FlightSimStore shows no record of the order on my account, no download links have been sent or are available. Sent them an email yesterday and today and haven't heard back. Was really hoping to try this out over the holidays :( . Sigh.
November 28, 201510 yr I have just been over to the FTX forums, and they are basically forcing everyone to access a new release page to stop it being displayed over and over again. Two complaint threads about this have been closed, and apparently this method is here to stay....for every new release. No further complaints will be tolerated :blink: Is this kind of marketing really necessary?

The attitude displayed in the response to the complaints is one of the reasons I only visit Orbx forums once in a blue moon, and even more rarely from now on. "...we want [...] you will get used to it..." Unbelievable. How much does a business have to hate its own customers to treat them with such contempt? If only there was another way to let people know about new releases. Something along the lines of...oh...advertising, maybe?
