Orbx Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 We are proud to launch the Orbx Community Discord server! Our Discord server is a great place to interact with other like-minded members of the community, as well as having informal (and perhaps off-the-record!) chats with our team. We have created a few channels for showing off your great screenshots, as well as joining in on some group flights. There are some Discord-exclusive events and competitions planned too - stay tuned! This is another community channel in addition to our forum. We’d love for you all to join. Rest assured, the forum isn’t going anywhere. Join today: https://orbx.to/discord 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Harmes Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Great work Dora and crew . The Discord channel is looking great. Hopefully it becomes a hub for some interesting group flights, which are thankfully made very easy with MSFS. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Fürnkäß Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 A big thumbs up to what you did there! Discord can and will be a great addition to the forums. Looking forward to these surprises you got in preparation for us! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc_Z Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Somehow to me, setting up a Discord page, changing the logo, etc. appear to be detracting from the purpose of Orbx -- developing scenery for the sims it supports. I know doing MSFS stuff is easier than P3d and XP, but the company seems to be paying more attention to corparatism than its core business. YMMV. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbx has no doubt grown since it's inception and it's grown big enough to have a commercial team, of which they will be the ones setting up a discord, changing the logo etc, not the developers, every company will/have changed their logo in there life span, just like in the late noughties most companies set up a social media presence on twitter and facebook, the time has now come from discord. If Orbx wasn't releasing software or replying to support (which they're doing both) I would agree. I don't get why people have issues with companies doing normal company things especially when they're not detracting from their core business... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that on the first try too. What I did was to open the Discord app (program) on my PC, and then clicked on that link which gave me the invite code in the address bar at the top. I think you may have to just be signed in to Discord when you click on that invite link. Discord is available as a website on your browser, or there is also program on your PC, which will probably be required if you ever want to use the chat/voice functions. Discord is great for multiplayer or group flights, as you simply set up your microphone/headset in Discord, and then it is just a matter of clicking once on the relevant voice channel when you want to chat on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in good company then olderndirt. Edit Seems a logout/login to Discord sorted the Invalid Invite error. Looks promising! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvdboomen Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 No thank you. Discord is a too fast medium for me. Forums are much slower, better handling and greater oversight to my taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAMBA1 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) I can fly a Dash 400, or so I think, I can ride a bicycle without training wheels, I can start a car with a screw driver, I can start a fire without matches, I can start an argument without saying a word, but I cannot start using Orbx discord. I received the following messages. My invite is not valid, I am not authorised to... I had too many attempts etc. etc Nothing harmonious about this Orbx invite, but then, doesn't discord mean a lack of harmony Edited July 4, 2021 by YAMBA1 added items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion is to download and install the Discord program/app on your PC, then create an acount if you don't have one, sign in, and then at the bottom left of the page choose "Add a server", which is the big "+" symbol. Then copy and past the invite code in this thread and you should be set. This is the best way (for me) to add any server (ie join any Discord group). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Profile1 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 #Scott Harmes Great suggestion. That works if you have the invite code. I've done it that way before as well. However, access referenced in the first post to " https://Orbx.to/discord" does not work for me with any browser. All I get is: Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to Orbx.to. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. The connection was reset. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall Running Windows Network Diagnostics Maybe that link is expired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Hello John, no one has to use Discord, It's just another means of communication. The Neil Hill Memorial Lounge is not set to go anywhere and I invite you to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John York Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks Nick but I unsuccessfully spent over an hour trying to find Rodger Petticord's and gave up. All the best. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Hello John, Rodger asked me to remove his latest topic, number 80, he will do another one soon. That would be why you couldn't find it.
