Exactly my point. They could just tell us it was on the backburner or shelved or whatever. I do feel rather suckered in to buying the first two parts of a set that they seem to have no intentions (apparently) of finishing. I've pretty much had it with Orbx and their attitude and buy 3rd party stuff direct these days.

That's the distinct impression I get too. I've been buying Orbx stuff for more than 12 years now, and it's customers like us that helped make Orbx successful, so it's a shame they treat their customers this way.

Hello? Hello? Is there anybody there? Have we become suddenly invisible, or something? (with apologies to John Cleese)

Hi Nick, Why has there been no answer to this question? Just a yes or no as to whether this is being developed would do! Could you put the question to the right person, please? SRG

Me too. Used to be an Orbx-only guy, but it's not the same now, and I spend more with other devs than I do with Orbx these days. They used to be the best, but not any more. Orbs is a nice idea badly implemented. For example, I hate to think how much you'd have to spend to get enough Orbs for the baseball cap. Thinking that anyone is going to spend loads of money on products just to get a free baseball cap is laughable! Especially as the caps are billed as being a limited supply so you can't build up a stock of Orbs over time and get one.

Interesting video, Frank. You obviously did a lot of research! Shame that no one has taken this on as an enhanced scenery area, or a payware seaplane base at least.

Thanks for clearing up the ambiguity! Oh, and the text of one of the links in that e-mail is the same colour as the background. Which makes it look like it isn't there.

Recieved an e-mail about ORbs that says: Orbx and Volanta customers will automatically accumulate Orbs when purchasing through orbxdirect.com and subscribing to Volanta Premium. So not when purchasing through Orbx Central, then?

Yeah, it's also annoying when you buy from a third party only to have it appear in Orbx Central afterwards! I colour code the pins on my Google map: Orbx, non-Orbx and Asobo hand-crafted ;-) But since Orbx sell third-party airfields now the distinction is blurring so I might just make Orbx and non-Orbx the same. On the plus side, at least Orbx are better at updating the Discover map than they used to be! :-)

Yeah, that bugs me with some of the airfields I own too! I've made my own Google map to keep track of everything I own now :-)

Great news! I was beginning to wonder if you were going to continue the series! +1 on Lindisfarne Castle - atm it looks awful!

Yes Nick, there's two different products, one of which is just the airports without all the other POIs. Orbx sells both. As Wolfko says, apparently it does look like a realistic number. I had no idea there were so many in France. There must be one for every town, village and hamlet! Well, as they say, 'you learn something new every day'!

You advertise the above product as having "6400 castle" (sic). Is this really true? It seems unlikely that North West France would have that many!

I want to say so much about this - but I'd just be wasting my time, as once some faceless manager has made their decision Orbx don't listen to loyal customers. Have fun dealing with all the support requests that could have been self-sorted. Bye.
