Adrian Lehmann (FSS) Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Pre-Pay Today And Get Exclusive Early Access To WA79 For One Week! Welcome to the charm of Walter Sutton's private airfield. Located in a sleepy hide-away rural valley in southern Washington state, this grass strip invites you to land and explore. With a large area of beautiful photoreal coverage, you'll find plenty to see in the circuit and plenty of the 'little details' on the ground which Orbx is famous for. Made by the same team who created WA56 Israel's Farm, this airfield offers the same charm, superbly accurate modeling and a level of immersion that you have to experience for yourself. We've also included the general store, the old abandoned rail works and the peculiarly named 'Tum Tum', a unique cone shaped hill almost directly aligned with the runway. WA79 is only a short hop away from Orbx's 7S3 Stark's Twin Oaks Airpark. Experience it now! * Ground imagery at 60/15cm per pixel * Beautifully modeled farm and airstrip * Old rail works and general store also modeled * Lush valley and rural setting * Includes 60 square KM of photoreal area * Accurate watermasks for the rivers * Photos taken on site for all buildings * NEW! TextureFlow optimised modeling! * Incredible 3D grass for amazing 'feel' * Seamlessly blends into FTX NA PNW * Expertly seasonally color matched * Full control panel custom options * NEW! Bonus WA7M Walter Muso's Field, a complete additional airfield added!

John Venema Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks for the release notice Adrian. I will be updating the official FTX website with more screenshots by this evening. As a special bonus to reward our pre-pay customers, for WA79 all pre-paid customers will have a full WEEK to enjoy the airfield before it goes on general sale. More time to have your exclusive access and gloating rights! Let the Oregon fun begin! We think 7S3 + WA79 make a perect set of airfields close to each other in the Portland area. And with Portland City Freeware not too far away you'll have something nice to fly over as you make the trip between these airfields. Also keep in mind Bill Womack is also working on GA airfields in Oregon, and of course the big daddio - KPDX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still in "coming soon" mode. I got so excited that I thought you were saying that the Portland freeware was already out and somehow I missed it. Ah shucks!

Bruce Hamilton Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Told myself I wasn't going to prepay for Walter's airstrip until closer to the end of the month, and my credit card slid out of my wallet unnoticed and paid for it behind my back. I am really p####d off at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6297j Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'm afraid I'm going to be the first to come out and say I'm going to forego all bragging rights and wait until it's released. Probably some time after too. I know £14.38 is extremely good value, amazing even for what you get but I just can't do it for a month or two. Very much looking forward to reading reports and seeing screenshots and videos though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N058BM Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I know that no one wants to commit to official relaease dates, but do we think the pre-pay customers will we have the privilege of getting our hands on WA79 by the end of August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltsimguy Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't think I have ever heard of pre paying for software yet to be released, interesting idea! Perhaps it has been done before and I haven't been out of my cave to notice. I will forgo the bragging rights thanks anyway. I know that I have prepaid for holidays, airfare & hotels and such. And I also know that I have had a couple of major problems as a result. I know that this strip is not a lot of money but would rather know its commercially available and I can download immediately that I sign over my credit card number. It's just me, no biggee!

This is Orbx, we do things a little different here Ask our regulars - we've never once gone over our 6-week self imposed time limit for delivery of a pre-pay product. And that's over the past 3 years. For us it helps our cash flow and also acts as an anti-piracy measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever considered a subscription type service, like FS-Genesis has, Orbx has so many loyal customers that buy every product anyway, why not subscribe, pay a yearly fee and get everything early... just a thought...

mattius Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 As WA79 is due out this month & Pre-payed customers are to get the product a week early, can I assume that pre-payed customers should get download link by end of tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No: the pre-payers should get it this month. WA79 is due out this month for pre-payers. So the 'normal' buyers will have to wait until september. Unless JV manages to create the installer and load it all up to the servers within a day... If WA79 will be released August 31st, Orbx will still have delivered the goods on time and as promised. (Even though another small airfield was added after making that promise!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It will go to pre-pay customers this week, probably Wednesday - we're still adding the 'little' details. Those who don't pre-pay will get it in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
