Edited spelling of title and content to ORBX

Haven't heard of Orbyx nor Oryx. Orbx on the other hand rings a bell. Is this the company you are referring to?

No link, no details in the post.

[announcement] What we are working on - 2022 - Orbx Company Updates - Orbx Community and Support Forums (orbxdirect.com)

The only project that I find really interesting is a mesh for South America. If it is up to the Himalayas quality we are in for a treat. 

Also intrigued by the Panama Canal Landmarks.

I`m still waiting for the Asia OLC that was due 2021 in the last roadmap . 

I don't have any way of knowing how much work Orbx contributed to the AU WU7 release for MSFS but I'm sure they did a lot.  Somebody built all of those building and bridge models and added boats and lifted various piers out of the water.  I find it impressive and I hope they decide to bring more things into the marketplace.

My request for the ORBx road map would be for someone to straighten the misaligned runway centreline markings in the P3D version of EGPN Dundee

I don't pay much heed to ORBX's "roadmaps" any more.  They tease products, claim a release date, and then miss the date by a year or more.

They're all about marketing and more of a corporate mindset now.  They even give themselves corporate titles like "CEO".  So, they have shareholders now, too, then?  Will they be listing on the stock exchanges?

They've also recently gotten rid of their support forums and one must submit a support ticket to get help.

Sad.

I've been waiting for Cote d'Azur for four years. I don't expect to ever see it.

A bit like the mythical Guernsey and Jersey. They just managed to stumble out of the door with Alderney before the Microsoft tsunami hit the English Channel, but the plans for the other islands have been washed away

A roadmap has never been a commitment to release. It is a view on what a company works. Being Intel or Orbx to take two extremes. I find it nice to get some inkling on what they work even if the release is uncertain. 

Shareholders ? You don't need to be listed to have  shareholders. Where the initial funding and further non-debt investments come from if not from the owners aka shareholders ? Orbx is a private company with several shareholders. 

One can discuss the relevance of getting rid of the forums. I don’t know the rationale but if the support ticket system works where is the problem ?

Just to try to clarify a couple of points raised above and earlier - JV is the majority shareholder with around 90% - so I don't

think that somehow "he has left the company" as intimated earlier.

It's very easy to just Google the Company results and info on whose who - before making incorrect assumption🤐

You  are absolutely right,I say more or less the same it in another thread.  There is a construction over several threads at Avsim,  typical of Internet, of a mythical Orbx, now and then !

It’s funny, out of all the 4 letter acronym FS developers, only ORBX gets misspelled all the time. If I had $10 for every time I saw it called ORBYX, I wouldn’t be a millionaire, but I’d have a lot of extra money. 😂😂

FSDT - no problem

PMDG - no problem 

REX - no problem

ORBX - problem, many times reverts to Orbyx or other versions. Can’t figure out how this one gets misspelled all the time.

Btw, I edited the title and first line of the post to reflect the actual name.

@cmpbellsjc I think Carenado wins this race, I believe it is the most mispelled name in the history of flight simulators 🤣
