June 3, 20197 yr Just saw a clip on YouTube showing a box. The clip was from Orbx, and I assume this is a teaser for some upcoming product? Anybody have any additional information?
June 3, 20197 yr Oh, so ORBX is involved in this? "The box" is teaser for a new app called "The Skypark" developed by "Parallel 42", a development studio that was unknown so far. FSElite did some digging and they came up with some more bits and pieces and screenshots showing some kind of flight management app, i assume its something similar to Air Hauler or ProjectFly as the screenshot was saying something like "You currently dont have any jobs - use search to look for jobs" It is supposed to be revealed at FS Expo this week, so we should soon know more Here's the box posted by Parallel 42:

June 3, 20197 yr I'll guess it's a preloaded portable hard drive to store photoreal scenery. I was all excited about the new photoreal regions until I saw the storage requirements.

June 8, 20196 yr Author Thanks for this info. I had a hunch that it might be something like Air Hauler, because of, well the cargo box. I wonder what it will offer to distinguish it from Air Hauler.

June 8, 20196 yr Here at the conference I just watched their presentation. It looks to me that it is a subscription base FS-Economy type of addon. I think they mentioned that it was going to be $9.99 a month. The presenters were the developer from Chase Plane and one of the guys from TheSkyLounge. Edited June 8, 20196 yr by Samaritano

June 10, 20196 yr As a FS Economy user, I get the gamification aspect that they are going for...But the branding/naming and the demo flight they showed...well as my kids say - “cringey”. Chris
