yanlaoge Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Luckily/unluckily I have all the sims: P3D, Xplane, Aerofly FS 2. I wish there would be a "buy two and you will get the third" policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac users are always left in the dark. John mentioned a few posts back that he had an idea on how to release it soon so mac users wouldn’t be alienated. I live near chicago and was very excited for this. On 1/4/2018 at 7:14 AM, John Venema said: The Mac release depends on the installer and FTX Central integration. We may run with an interim dmg package installer so we don't alienate Mac users. Awesome. Thanks How long of a delay is anticipated for Mac? For now ill just use half way decent freeware.

Curious to know how many payware XP developers use installation software to distribute instead of a manual zip extraction as we are considering manual zip extraction as well.

However, I just hope this doesn't become canceled for Mac users. if you had a guess on how many weeks, months it will be for Mac fans, - what would it be? I am also happy to help beta test a Mac solution. Take care, thanks for your time Ed, I wish things rolled out smoother. you guys have great quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 In late beta testing, not long to go now. A new version of FTX Central will be needed to cater for X-Plane11. That update will come through FTX Central itself but be announced on the forums as well. We also have another X-Plane airport in beta testing as well. More news soon!

chifan90 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I hope your projects don’t become or stay PC exclusive. That would be a shame. I saw a post that skyline simulations is teaming with yall. Maybe they can help for Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Cormier Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have a question that may unfortunately cause some ripples. I know I am going to be in the minority here but as great as this airfield looks, I don't understand the excitement of installing a airport that no longer exists. I know people buy airplane skins for TWA and Pan Am but when it comes to simulating real world flying, something Orbx does exceptionally well, this seems to be a step in the wrong direction. So why are the people who posted on here, who are no doubt very excited for this airfield, so happy to install a non existent field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Perhaps it’s because Meigs Field was in all the first Flight sims, like for me it all started with Flightsim 4 on a Commadore Omega was it or was it the, dam can not think of the name STX or some thing. Happy days and such a long time ago. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meigs has been available for two years now for FSX and Prepar3D, more recently Aerofly, and we have other airfields that are completely fictitious, so it's not a huge departure from the norm. X-Plane users get to join in on the nostalgia now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plans to port FTX Central to Mac and Linux this year to support XP and AeroflyFS2 (which was recently released on Mac). This is not a small undertaking and we are moving to a new cross-platform coding tool to allow this to happen. So whilst in the short term we are Windows-only we realise this situation can’t continue if we want to embrace Mac and Linux users as customers.

NDRustyfan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Will there be a change to FTX Central 3 to support X-Plane? Will this be for X-Plane 11 only or [revious versions as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streichholz Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I don't know if this has been asked already, but does ORBX also plan a global solution for XP, like FTX Global / openLC with regional specific autogen? By the way, Meigs looks amazing, lots of hours spent in Meigs (FS9, FS2002...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Looks like a possible "I can see my house" scenery to me, at least the beachfront hotels and apartments will possibly be identifiable..Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironcondor Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I do not know how I missed this. This is awesome. I was there when the airport was demolished. Sad day for Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDRustyfan Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Will it also support the Steam version of X-Plane? I'm assuming it will because there really is not much of a difference between the Steam version and the version purchased on http://www.x-plane.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wroblewski Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yep it will work on the Steam version as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
