paulrunge Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I am considering adding MSFS to my rig for fun since upgrading my PC to "beast rig" . However, I noticed that I had zero products available in Orbx Central for MSFS. I own a ton of Orbx scenieries in P3D. Do you really want me to spend hundreds of dollars again to populate MSFS? That's a big ask, or perhaps I am missing something (hopefully!). Thanks. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo32 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hi Paul you cannot use any P3D scenery in MSFS you will again have purchase the scenery again from Orbx under the MSFS tab too use it in MSFS unforunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot100 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Have a look in the forum, it's been answered several times. Short answer is yes you will have to buy new scenery. Trouble with software is it doesn't wear out it just becomes obsolescent. Look at it this way, if you bought new horse shoes back in the 1920's you couldn't use them with your new car in the 1950's, different operating system..... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, Orbx offer a 20% discount on the already much lower price for any MSFS airport product that you already own for P3D. (Please note that this discount does not apply to Partner products). Many of the Orbx products for P3D are not relevant to MSFS, the Global series and the True Earth series, for example, so there is no need to buy them again. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 as said earlier - the simple answer is no! Just like many of us - if you want MSFS and its numerous benefits - you have to bite the bullet and start buying again - scenery far better than P3D especially if you are a VFR pilot. If you have a good machine - then maybe - you can run both systems - as do a number of our forum mates - especially if you have aircraft that has not yet reached MSFS yet - Orbx will always have your OLD scenery if you do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrunge Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Very helpful (and entertaining!) Nick et al. How to get the 20% discount on MSFS purchases please? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 well if there is a discount to be applied then open up your Orbx Central app, chose the airport you want and if there is a discount it should show, however I have already bought the one's I had in p3d so I can't see if the discount was given but that's where you should see it...

Paul Hello, just find an Orbx MSFS airport that you want and that you have in P3D. The P3D version must be in your Orbx Direct account. At the checkout, you will have the price discounted automatically by 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
