RCFlyer Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Great Idea!!! I live about 60 minutes south of Seattle. It would be a fun day or two. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeecup802 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Why Seattle and not something like Airventure OSH where you will get a TON of exposure? Just curious... No way I could make it to Seattle, but Airventure would be a completely different story! I can't make Seattle either but I go to Oshkosh every year (I live in the midwest though so it's an easy trip for me). I'd sure like to see Orbx at Airventure too as there's certain to be many flight simmers there whether they know about Orbx yet or not. If they could get an exhibitor booth I think it'd be a great opportunity to gather new customers by demoing their work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhkaye Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I live in Richland, WA, about 3-1/2 hours drive from Seattle. I really enjoy all the Orbx scenery in the Northwest, and would attend this event. Jim Kaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemCookie Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 A lot of people live in Australia too. You could organise that after this. It's always great to meet fellow simmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Three new affirmative posts, but the poll did not increase from the 67 previous yes votes. Gents, to sway us into action you need to add your vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have two kids ( plus grandkids) that live 20 minutes from Seattle. So, count me in whenever you may have this get together. I already answered the poll, btw. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW Driver Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I live just northwest of Boise, Idaho, and would be very excited to attend! it's only about an 8 hr drive to Seattle, and as a truck driver, this is no big deal.. plus, my family has never been beyond the doors of Sea-Tac, so it would be a great experience for them!

BroncoBilly Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I will come over from Port Townsend. A floating bridge, and a ferry ride! Unless you hold it near an airstrip, then its a fifteen minute hop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Cormier Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Well here we are at the end of September and it would seem that the number of people who could attend this is not quite where JV was looking for. I hope there is still some way of pulling this off, but maybe when the release of Northern California comes along, another attempt could be had at this. Something in San Fransisco perhaps?? After all would it not be a slightly shorter flight from AU to KSFO anyway? Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yes we're not quite there yet. Whilst 73 is a very encouraging number of attendees, we won't plough into such an event to make a loss since we don't have deep enough pockets to incurr it. I do like the idea of SFO, it's one of my favourite cities in the US and I often try to visit the Napa to pick up a few bottles of red as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicCrab Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 SFO, it's one of my favourite cities in the US and I often try to visit the Napa to pick up a few bottles of red as well "visit the Napa" could be mistaken for the autoparts store.

skydvdan Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I was just in Seattle last weekend. Plane tickets from where I am here in Texas to Seattle are just over $200US so I would definitely attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hello all, We are creeping ever closer to 100 people so I think we may well run an event sometime in Spring of 2012 perhaps. Please keep those votes coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydvdan Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I finally bought the scenery yesterday. I was a hardcore MSE/ Photoscenery guy and after taking a long break from MSFS I came back and the photoscenery just wasn't doing anything for me anymore. The colorization was all wrong and the lack of autogen really flattened the scenery out a lot. After seeing some screenshots of PNW and then talking to Bill Womack I decided to buy in. I have a few ideas and am thinking about getting back into FS design. That was part of the reason for the trip to Seattle this past weekend. I took my Canon T2i with me and took a few hundred pictures at some airports. I guess we'll see if anything comes of it and then if it does we'll see if that work can get me on the dev team. I'd love to see an event in the Seattle area since I've never been to something like what you are describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
