Vora Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Head over to AirDailyX to see what Russel and Greg have accomplished: http://www.airdailyx.net/orbx-friday-harbour/ Absolutely amazing! The whole island in meticulous detail. Remember, for the first 90 days it'll be exclusively a Steam DLC for FSX:SE. After 3 month it'll be available for the other platforms .

Jocko Flocko Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looks awesome. However I know where OrbX is coming from by using Steam and it's a shame they can't use it for P3Dx as well as Steam's anti-piracy measures are absolutely outstanding. At least that 3 months will give them a break from the welfare case pirating losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neucoas Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 WOW. As i use Steam edition, will i be able to use it with my PNW scenery without problems, or i should wait to be released on FSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan King Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 WOW. As i use Steam edition, will i be able to use it with my PNW scenery without problems, or i should wait to be released on FSS. You can use PNW, Global, Vector, or any other addons just fine in Steam. Or you can use this airport alone. In the video you can see it being used with PNW >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTqPScJlqiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjstruyf Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Will the version released through FSS in 3 months have more features than the one released now on Steam? Jean-Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Why the exclusivity for the first 3 months? Part of the contract they signed with Dovetail was to provide two sceneries via Steam, with a three month exclusivity before releasing it via FSS. JV explained it all in his prior announcement thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorvay1971 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Does anyone actually care about Friday Harbor anymore? Everyone has had a turn at it at some point in their flight sim life and for me, I got so annoyed with that "default" airport coming up at the welcome screen. I'm happy that P3D changed default venues. Don't get me wrong, the PNW is one of the most scenic places to fly GA, but right now, I welcome ANY other airport besides Friday Harbor. lol First statement was a joke, btw. -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocko Flocko Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'm going to be so busy with Southern California and all of it's already released and upcoming airports that I won't even notice 90 days. If it helps get more people interested in "hardcore" flight simulation and the many things it has to offer, it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Newman Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Will the version released through FSS in 3 months have more features than the one released now on Steam? Jean-Jacques The Steam Exclusive DLC version is designed to work with a raw FSX installation. It has no dependencies on other core Orbx tech or programs and simply installs on its own. Because of this, it does not contain any dynamic objects that are normally controlled by the Orbx Objectflow module. Once the non exclusive version is released, Objectflow will be added and the package will mow be dependent on other Orbx products being installed, and FTX libraries. So yes, the FSS version will have aditional dynamic elements (seasonal, time of day etc), but will require the appropriate FTX software be installed as a base, whereas the Steam Exclusive version requires no additional Orbx software.

Penzoil3 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Wow, a long three months indeed ! On a side note, this made me install my A2A Cub in P3D. I'd forgotten how cool that little plane is ! LOL Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjstruyf Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Rob! I will then patiently wait for the version that will be available through FSS. With the additional bonus of Orbx & FSS "granpapy" discount ;-) Have a good day! Jean-Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
