No idea, I can only assume they accidently posted shots from the wrong sim. The question though is why are they using W2XP and X-Plane to promote their own products on a different sim. Either way, I posted in their thread.
November 3, 20178 yr 100% Xplane. Wow, OrbX caught red handed plagiarising another developers work. Ouch, will be very interested to see what they have to say for themselves. Ive bought a lot of products from OrbX and If this is true that they are plagiarising work, I’ll think twice about future purchases. How on earth do they think they can get away with just using other people’s work and passing it off as their own?
November 3, 20178 yr No need for Orbx to deny it... , the images in that OP topic are from Xplane 11 to me. I'm also 100% sure about this. Curious to see how they will xplane, euh I mean explain this! Regards, Vital Vanbeginne
November 3, 20178 yr Looks like John Venema really thought it was P3D : Quote Hi guys, it may be indeed, I posted screenshots which the lead developer gave me so I have asked for clarification. Allow me to apologise profusely if I have misled people, I’ll lock the topic until I get clarification This is so funny ! Cheers, Pascal
November 3, 20178 yr Moderator Why is their lead developer using W2XP? That's another question I would like answering

November 3, 20178 yr Even though I also think this is funny to some extent, I think it is quite worrisome, too. If the lead developer sends these pictures to JV to show off his work, it smells a lot like they are "copying" Ortho4XP + World2XP. Not good...

November 3, 20178 yr Moderator Yes, I've asked JV for clarification on why this has happened. It's worrying indeed. But hey, show's that people want what we have for free in X-Plane :-)
November 3, 20178 yr Let's wait. Maybe Orbx will come out with a credible and plausible explanation at some point. Or maybe not. Errors happen. Sometimes they are made in good faith, sometimes not. Time will tell.
November 3, 20178 yr If they created their own high quality regionalised house models and trees and provided cleaned up and color corrected high quality ortho imagery there certainly would be enough added value to justify a price tag. But those shots to me look exactly like what you can get for free.

I didn't point to the blatant use of Tony's work, which of course is not funny. But the whole story, the reaction to this new "Prepar3D" technique made me laugh ! Is his lead developer a joker ? Or is it a big mistake ?
