Dusterman Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Interesting development for the P3D/FSX world. Will the aircraft be automatically updated by Orbx Central? It was not mentioned in the description of the Turbo Porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hello, this is just another way to purchase Milviz aircraft and therefore it does not seem unlikely that any future update to the aircraft would not be made available to Milviz customers, or do you already have a problem?

Jack Sawyer Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I just now saw that. Very interesting as I already own the MD 530, 407, and F-86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It's great to see the ubiquitous Victa for sale again on Orbx ---- as well as others from Milviz as mooted a couple of weeks ago (JV in his interview with PC Pilot issue 125 - It was mentioned that a Spitfire was on the cards - and photos were shown My Visa awaits - because it looks heaps better than what is currently on offer) The Victa is a famous aircraft to older Australians - and many RAAF pilots who trained in one before the days of jet trainers Its name comes from the name of the Manufacturer - who are more famous for the Victa Lawn mower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin I don't know about the moths - but you had better send me your reading glasses prescription which must be better than mine - because - after I read your suggestion -I went straight to O /direct and aircraft under P3D in central - and no Spitfire !!!

Yes John I do apologise I was thinking of the Avenger. The Milviz listings are under "Partners' by the way. You won't get me rising to the bait about the cricket, there is nothing on the hook. I have just spent a couple of weeks in your neck of the woods after spending 8 hrs driving up and down dodging bush fires on the central and north NSW coast. 6 days R&R on the Gold Coast before flying home was rather good. It is just so sad to see and very upsetting when you see it first hand. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have 3 factories over there and did quite a bit of G.A.in hire A/c Can I say a million thanks for what you guys did with those New South Wales fires - especially if you were near the ones around Lismore and Grafton - where my daughter lives Did I see you on the Telly??

musterpilot Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 central has it greyed out even though I own it it is not compatible for p3dv4.5 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Ainscough Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I think this is an excellent move, leverage the market muscle and centralized facilities of ORBX. After spending the last few days going thru 347 airports from 45 different vendors and determining which are P3D V4 compatible (and getting updates) ... surprisingly 326 of 347 were updated to V4 ... reducing the number of websites I have to hit is a benefit. Cheers, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusterman Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Ben McClintock's announcement answered the question I asked about updates. Orbx Central will update the aircraft. Not sure why Nick didn't understand the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have had the Steam SFX page on at that time It is not on P3D page - It used to be months ago but when I went to buy it Central 3 said I already had it - and a subsequent forum query said it was no longer for sale Maybe - Orbx has pulled it out from the filing cabinet - but it will have to wait as far as I am concerned I spent to much of my pension on the Xmas -NY sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries TMP mate about such a tiny thing - at the time - I was too worried about what I was about to learn in my eye tests today. And all after my spending a mint on Orbx and new A/c this year and a cop upgrade. I assume that you too - are a proud owner of the latest Ant Tiger Moth.

tigermothpilot Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 First of all, I hope your eyes are sorted, or can be sorted. It's times like these we can be grateful for Medicare. Secondly, yes, I am a proud owner of Ant's Tiger Moth Pro, and I had the privilege of being a Beta Tester and advisor on the freeware version. The Pro is a masterpiece. I was fortunate, at the age of 40, to have been successful in talking the CFI at Royal Newcastle Aero Club into allowing me to learn to fly ab initio on their Tiger, VH-RNI, which I did, going solo after 7.75 hrs. I then was a part-owner of Tiger VH-BBC, for a couple of years, which we restored from several boxes of bits, and now regularly fly my mate's Tiger VH-BNI, hence my extremely indulgent username! I hope all goes well, and keep that Tiger burning bright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
