  1. I tried to find some guidelines re any possible Orbx censorship/deleted posts in this forum, but I could not find anything. So I'm trying here. Obviously bad language, racial slur, hate speech end the likes could and should lead to the post being censored/deleted. But what about criticism and feedback on of Orbx products in a "fair way", does anyone know if there are any rules against that? I have spent way too much money on Orbx products throughout the years, and usually I find their products to be of a very high standards. But once in a while I come across an Orbx product that "leaves some things to be desired", to put it that way. Now that happened a not so long ago, when I came across a newly released products that had some flaws. I pointed that out in the discussion thread were the release of the product was discussed, and I also pointed out the fact that a very good freeware scenery of the same airport does not have those flaws. I also stated my opinion, that I for once would not be buying that Orbx product, because of those flaws. I thought I was well within what should be allowed in an open discussion forum. But my post was rather quickly deleted and the thread was locked. It seemed like Orbx was totally unwilling to allow even the least bit of criticism of their products. A more appropriate approach, in my opinion, would have been to find out if the "criticism" was factual, and to actually fix the flaws in the product. Now I understand that an open forum like this probably have many "administrators", and if not coordinated by a "common ruleset", they might end up applying their own set of rules when "administering" the forums. That's why I ask if anyone know Orbx official policy with regards to censorship and deletion of posts. Anyone? This might seem like a small issue, and maybe it is. But I think it was quite petty and small-minded to delete a post that just pointed out a flaw in a product. And it's not like my post was overly subjective, the flaws I pointed out were real and won't disappear just because the post was deleted. It would be interesting to hear if an official policy actually exists when it comes to censorship and deleting of posts in these forums. And another reason for asking is the fact that I do care who I'm handing over my hard earned dollars to.
  2. When you install an Orbx product through Orbx Central you have two options: 1) Microsoft Flight Simulator Folder This installs the product to the MSFS "Community" folder directly. 2) Main Library This lets you create a libnrary (essensially just a folder) which then becomes the Orbx "Main Library". The products you install will end up in this folder, and the installer creates symlinks freom the MSFS "Community" folder to each of the products you install in this "library" so MSFS can find them. I'm using option 2) and as I wrote all my Orbx products show up as "Installed" in Orbx Central
  3. That is not the case for me, all my Orbx addons show up as installed. I have them installed in their own "library" (as opposed to in the community folder), maybe that makes a difference?
  4. Ok thanks, my mistake then. They look *verY* similar and when I read about the partnership ebtween Orbx and CLoudsurf ASia I figured that 2+2 had to be 4, but in this case I guess it was 5 instead.
  5. Kudos to Orbx for the way they handled this, the way you guys stand by your excellent products certainly makes it easy to buy from you again in the future!
  6. I assume this is the scenery made by Cloudsim Asia and previously sold through their own website. What about us early adapters that bought this from their own website? Will we be able to get the updated version or will we be left hanging? Any chance of "transferring" the purchase to the Orbx store by showing some sort of "proof of purchase"?
