Hi everyone,

We realise we have not announced any product roadmap for a while, mostly due to putting efforts on planning around the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator and understanding what was possible. After a few months, and a few more products, we feel now it’s a good time to draw up a list of products which we are planning to release in the next little while.

Now - we know in flight sim (and in life!) things can change fast, so we reserve the right to modify the list and the sequence, so best to keep checking our “coming soon” page to be up to date with what is coming next.

First of all, here are some of the Landmarks City Packs we have lined up for development in MSFS:

Auckland, New Zealand

Cape Town, South Africa

Cairo, Egypt

Dubai, UAE

Dublin, Ireland

Frankfurt, Germany

Honolulu, Oahu, USA

Melbourne, Australia

Mumbai, India

Panama Canal and Panama City

Yokohama, Japan

....and Cityscape Sydney for P3D!

Then a few Regional Packs, also for MSFS:

Canary Islands

Northern England

Scotland

A couple of very neat regions are planned for X-Plane 11 and Prepar3D, with the spectacular TrueEarth Eastern Alps (P3D) and TrueEarth Southern Spain (XP11), and you already know about openLC Asia.

Regarding airports, we have a bit of a mix between P3D and MSFS, but we are also looking at a number of refreshed airports for XP11. These below are the ones in production:

KBOI Boise International (P3D)

KBUR Hollywood Burbank (XPL)

KCRW Chuck Yeager (MSFS)

KPBI Palm Beach (P3D & MSFS)

LDSP Split Airport (P3D & MSFS)

LIEO Olbia (XPL)

LKPR Prague (P3D & MSFS)

VTSP Phuket International (P3D)

And from our Indies, we have the following that are in deep development:

KAVX Catalina for MSFS (Ken & Tim)

ENTO Torp for P3D (Finn)

KVNY Van Nuys for P3D & MSFS (Matteo)

LIPH Treviso for MSFS (Matteo)

SBSP São Paulo for MSFS (Matteo)

ESSB Stockholm Bromma for MSFS & P3D (Marcus)

On top of these, our Australian HQ airport, YMEN, will be launched on MSFS, P3D and XP11 at the same time. Essendon Fields is celebrating 100 years of operation, and we are working closely with Essendon Fields management and airport operations to bring you this airport in its full glory, with max details and true to life buildings. We are rather excited by this (very excited as a matter of fact!), and we hope you will all come and visit. ;-)

In some really new news, we will be soon releasing our very first aircraft for MSFS - the Edgley Optica.

The aircraft was designed for low speed observation work with a loiter time of around 7 hours, intended to rival helicopters.
The bubble canopy provides an amazing 270 degrees panoramic vision and almost vertical downward vision, which is perfect for enjoying Orbx scenery all around.

A total of 22 aircraft were manufactured over the years and some are still operational in countries across the globe.

Our version has been lovingly crafted with a high attention to detail and will come with some representation of real world skins including some of our own favourite custom designs.

We are sure you will love flying this aircraft in MSFS as much as our team has.

Well! That is a bit of a list which will keep us busy for the next few months… We are leaving this post open for comments. Happy to get your feedback and future requests!

As always yours in flying,
The Orbx Team
