paulb Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I noticed today that some of their scenery is now on OrbxDirect. No announcement - as far as I can see. Am I missing something? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Who are they Paul? I'm not seeing anything in Orbx Central related to Models of the World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here Rob. I have seen their products on sale in the MS Marketplace and purchased a couple there. I think the developer might be based in Eastern Europe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'll check the marketplace then. Do you know the name of the company or developer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Rob, they are called "Beautiful Model of the World". If you go on the Marketplace and choose airports, they are listed under the "creators" filter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F737MAX Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It's great to see Alexey's work become part of the Orbx portfolio. My interest is picqued by all the previous positive comments about his work. I have a question though. Will he be able to provide updates to his products following any SU or WU that Asobo release? My concern is given the geopoltical issues he faces, buying one of these add-ons doesn't necessarily mean a quick set of updates, nor any updates at all. I would be interested to hear what assurances Orbx management can give that these add-ons won't become essentially become abandonware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggu Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I can at least confirm he's updated other airports that have been affected by WUs in the past. He's also very responsive to emails if you bring these issues to his attention. So that's something at least :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayD Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 How does this work? He is Russian. How can you sell his products? Genuinely asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely interested how an Australian registered business can sell a Russian registered business product. By the way, I've bought his products so I'm a hypocrite here. I just though Orbx might want to shed light on this and reassure customers it's not in breach of any sanctions. No need to @Nick Cooper lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to @Nick Cooper lol Speaking from my perspective I would say two things 1.- If it happened is becuase they found the legal way to do it, so don't worry. Maybe his products are registered under another region, The Netherlands, perhaps? They are also available in the marketplace, right? 2.- Then, based on the statement by John and agreed by Nick, "politics doesn't belong in this forum in any shape or form", I would recommend if yet interested, to send a private message to NIck, as the topic is too sensitive and can start a fire, then posting here won't be allowed as they will close this topic to avoid issues. Cheers Murrat, happy weekend Carlos 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
