Ron Attwood Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Have you seen the Flight Sim Store website? Very snazzy, nice and crisp looking. I'll need a tutorial to find my away around, (couldn't find Orbx stuff listed without a search which just produced a bland list) but new is good right?

Kilstorm Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Not yet, but I'll be there soon when the new PNG addon is released unless we get a new batch of v3 installers before then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddler Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Ron, Just checked out the site and found it easy to navigate. We just need to accept that rather than a list by company name alone you have ORBX listed sequentially under scenery by region. Still works for me, however I rely on FTX Central to alert me to the fact that I am delinquent in purchasing a new offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anfield ace Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Don't like this at all, the old layout was fine, this is to complicated, I'll just be following the links from this site to order as normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Ron. Plus 1 for me as well. I tried to find just Orbx stuff and not good. The site looks OK but I think it was better when you could just bring up the separate authors. All so I hate that pop up for face book and the like on the left hand side of the page. Just gets in the way for me. Wish there was a way to disable it. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger hopkins Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 This site is rubbish, I suggest that Orbx have a good look at this because I could not find any Orbx products at all, I hope that Flightsimstore is reading this article and address the issues. At the moment it shows a blank area until you scroll down to find what seems to be the older site, maybe this has something to do with Internet explorer setup. I shall be sending my views about this site to FSS, if only I could find how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You looked under FSX......I looked under P3D and voila! A little coordination required on the site for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlexFlier Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Not great but manageable. I found all Orbx products, as before, in the Authors/Publishers drop-down on the right side of the page. But Sign In was a pain because it would not accept my RoboForm password service entry; I had to complete the Sign In manually. I, too, don't like the use of screen space for social media links: they should concentrate on making it easy for the consumer, not trying to garner praise; the kudos will come if they take good care of their customers. What it looks like to me is that they are trying to catch up with the Win 10 look. You know, be hip and modern and in with the in crowd. Phooey! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I understand progress, but it should not come at the expense of those who got you where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm confused, I don't understand some of the comments , I'm able to find everything (ORBX included) exactly the same as before, the only difference is that the "Authors and Publishers" drop down is on the right. Besides a new skin, what's so different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I just not understand the problem? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdguy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I find it very confusing. I clicked on 'account' and then 'login' Nothing happened. I clicked 'login' several more times...nothing. Then I decided what the hell, I'll scroll down the categories and there at the bottom was my login block. Normally the login screen is at the top. Also wish when you clicked on a category it used to pop right up. Now you have to scroll down all the way down to the bottom of the screen to find it. I find it very cumbersome. I don't like it but I guess if I want to buy Orbx stuff I'll have to learn to live with it. For everything else, though, it will be back to SimMarket and Flight1. I'm sure they'll be glad to see me back. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoDave Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I dislike the skin, the site looks washed out and bland, but then again, I generally send my wife there to buy me something so no big deal. I could not get any ORBX from any scenery drop down menu, but see above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi All. Yes for those who found it , the products thingy is on the right now and works as before. Great, but still would like to get rid of that Facebook and Twitter colum on the left. Know there's an arrow right at bottom but as soon as you go some where it pops up again. Derek.

John Venema Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I've asked Adrian to investigate why searching on geographic areas returns all vendors except Orbx, that's not desirable. For those people having to scroll all the way down to see the login or the 'old' site, that's because your cache is still holding half of the old design. What you need to do is clear your browser's cache and the use Ctrl+F5 to force a refresh of FSS, then the new design should work as planned. If you are having trouble finding a specific Orbx product, just visit http://fullterrain.com and choose the product you want to purchase and link to it directly using the 'Buy' button.

wolfko Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 For all of you having problems to find Orbx, you'll find it easily in the right hand side "Authors & Publishers"-drop-down-menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdguy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks for the instruction JV. I looked up how to clear my browser cache on the internet and now FSS looks pretty good. I like it. It's pretty nice and easy to use. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just take a few second to find everything back. But I can't find Tapini????? I normally buy ORBX stuff from the product page anyway. As for other companies, well I look for special...
