    Thanks a lot. I'm confused about the prices that are indicated. Are these the original or the discounted ones? OK, meanwhile it's October, but I'm really not sure if the sale is still on or already over.

    As a reference: NZAA for MSFS is indicated for 13,95€ here, and the Prepar3d version for 11,95€ - the latter (which I already have) seems very cheap to me. Are those sale prices?

    I'm also slightly confused about how the prices are displayed, however, I believe that those are sale prices; IIRC, their P3D airports are usually priced at 16 bucks, now they are priced at 11,50

    Kind regards,

    Viggo

    Not for me. I get $12 AUD at ORBX and 9.90 Euros at SImmarket. Also, it should be mentioned that ORBX doesn't display applicable taxes for me until I am ready to pay. I think Simmarket has that already included.

    As for the Orbs, I couldn't care less. To use Orbs, you have to collect sufficiently many of them for whatever you fancy, and you cannot use real money to top up in case you don't have enough Orbs. It is basically an incentive to buy more stuff from Orbx. To be frank, as far as I am concerned, Orbs have achieved exactly the opposite.

    Oh, ya, you are completely right about the application of taxes at Orbx. For my part, the VAT was applied only after I logged in to my account. Cheers!

    Surprised that Keflavik only costs 10 euros for you at Simmarket, cool!

    Yep, Simmarket's already got them included.

    Agreed about the orbs, however, orbs can be combined with real money in purchases, saw a post about that in their forums recently. On a side note, I'm also quite disappointed that, as a loyal Orbx customer of whom I've made many purchases, I only received 120 orbs; as every other Orbx customer.

    Kind regards,

    Viggo.

    Note that the prices are much lower at Orbx: https://orbxdirect.com/partner/mk-studios

    An example: Keflavik costs 17 euros at Simmarket whilst it only costs 8 euros over at Orbx. And on a side note, Orbx is also offering 2x orbs on purchases at their site until "03 October 2022 at 01:00Z". 

    Kind regards,

    vdae,

    Assuming CS has their annual Christmas sale again this year, it may be worth it for you to wait for the CS757F. (I picked up the base and freighter for $25/each.)

    Most of the glitches have been worked out (I think it's version 1.7 now) and it's not a bad aircraft. Keep in mind, there is no winds aloft import for the FMS and the textures are not PBR for the CS757. The modeling and flight dynamics are decent. Also be aware, CS has stopped all development for P3D.

    Sadly, CS never followed up with a proper freighter for their 767...they finally lost me as a customer.

    Sorry for the late reply, rmeier😅

    I'll be keeping an eye out for the sale!🍻 I actually picked up their 757 base pack during their christmas sale a couple of years ago, when it was priced at 15 bucks. Hopefully they'll have a similar discount this christmas!

    IIRC, they planned to release an update for their 757 after the release of their 767 freighter, but I might be wrong.

    Agreed, smh at their latest releases🤧

    If you really really want to fly 757, you can buy QualityWings 757. For 15 USD (yes, 15 USD) you have all variants (-200 / F / -300) with all type of engines - and it works for P3D v5. Of course this is less complex aircraft in terms of texturing quality and systems. But I said before for 15 USD you have all variants, to achieve that with CS 757 you have to spend ~205 USD! The choice is obvious here 

    YOu can also consider the Flight Factor 757 for X-Plane - very good aircraft.  

    I actually bought the QW 757 a while back, but unfortunately, I had to ask for a refund since the functionality was too simplistic for me.

    I don't have X-Plane at the moment, but who knows what the future holds ;)

    Hey guys!

    I'm on the verge of buying the Captain Sim 757 Freighter Essential, but apparantly, only the PF version with PW2037 engines comes with it. So my question is: Are liveries made for the SF and PCF versions with both PW2037s and 2040s compatible with it?

    Hello!

    I did a clean re-install of Prepar3D a few weeks ago and proceeded to download Envtex. All components seemed to be downloaded flawlessly and the installation was carried out without incident. However, everytime I change settings in Envdir/Envtex and fire up Prepar3D, I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to activate Active Sky. Anyone else who is experiencing this or has a solution?

    Regards,

    Viggo.
