richard coate Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Just recently come to FTX. Fantastic best thing since sliced bread. When will the U.K. version come along ? Makes what is on offer at present look stone age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 We have not yet announced EU regions but a poll on this site tells us that it's very much in demand and we expect to begin EU regions in 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrich28 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I guess that means Central/Eastern Canada mid 2015 going by the polls Just keep doing what works! Glad you got your system figured out somewhat John (mine as well) we can't have any "down" time with ya Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Private-Cowboy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 This will never happen but I'd love the idea of ORBX licensing the tech to other developers. The main work was to develop the tech behind the product and for new regions it is "only" a matter of getting new data and putting them through the FTX magic. Wouldn't it be wonderful if teams around the world could do that (with final approval by ORBX naturally before release). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delare Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 How about MS paying ORBX to make the whole world for FS11? Now THAT would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreddyG Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Why should ORBX do that?? Australia has flogged off enough of its assetts!!! Don't give your secrets away ORBX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Why should ORBX do that?? Australia has flogged off enough of its assetts!!! Don't give your secrets away ORBX! We don't plan to. If you recall we went down that path late last year and it did not work out; there's too much unique techniques required to make a product like FTX. It's not as simple as just licensing an SDK and telling someone "go for it". Holger, Matt, Marty and I solve real problems almost daily and it's a constant evolution. Yes, the initial tech took 12 months of R&D, but there is a LOT of new tech going into GREEN and RED and we won't stop there. The PNW region will have even more innovation, like frozen lakes etc. FTX is never static, it's a constant R&D effort and a lot of the tech will be retrospectively applied to BLUE/GOLD and old regions in the form of service packs. You have not just purchased a single product, you've invested in a platform which is constantly being improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josedav Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 We all are very fortunate to be living in a time of such incredible tech breakthroughs and I count myself very blessed indeed, being able to reap the benefits of what so many others have labored for so long to achieve-- saying "thanks" to Orbx and all involved in bringing forth this amazing product, seems to fall way short, certainly an understatement!
