John Venema Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hello all,The GB WEEK! promotion has commenced for this week leading to the release of FTX EU SCO Scotland. With that region completing Orbx's coverage of Great Britain before we turn our attention to Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, we want to celebrate the ability to fly from Land's End to John O Groats in one contiguous FTX region set.Also because Orbx's prices are indexed to the AU Dollar, it has taken a battering in currency markets in the past month so these incentives make the new prices even more affordable for £ and € and US$ buyers.Effective as soon as Adrian wakes up and adjusts the FSS prices, here is the promotion:1. The price of FTX EU England and FTX EU Wales will be *permanently* cut by 20% from AU$40.95 to AU$32.95 (£19.75 / €23.19 / USD30.47 )2. The price of all UK currently released airfields will be *permanently* cut by 25% from AU$32.95 to AU$24.95 (£14.96 / €17.56 / USD23.07)3. Any customer who purchases *both* ENG and WLS will get *15% OFF* FTX EU SCO Scotland for AU$34.80 ( £20.86 / €24.49 / USD32.18) for a LIMITED TIME until July 7thWe also hope to make a very exciting announcement about the next EU region after Northern Ireland and Ireland are released, so stay tuned!

Jetstream1 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Great news and many thanks for the kind offer John. I think this is the prompt I've been needing to complete the UK airfield set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simnut Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I'm new around these parts so I may have gotten the wrong impression. Is there to be a full Orbx treatment for the island of Ireland? I thought it was just going to be part of the FTX Global release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yes we are giving both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland the full FTX region treatment as announced in December last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Does the 15% on Scotland apply to previous purchases of ENG and WLS, or just during this week? Wondered the same about SCOTLAND discount as also paid full price for ENG & WALES on Day1 of their respective releases...Anyone know? If it does apply, I'm in and will get it as a birthday present to myself on July 2nd, or perhaps an early birthday present even . The new EU news sounds seriously, seriously exciting...can't take the suspense! The above news in general certainly makes me see things differently and feels more sensible and worthwhile to get some of the quite small UK airports plus makes it easier to speed up things with being able to catch up and add more UK add-ons and airports more frequently in support of Orbx's commitment to the UK. Do look forward more so to airports like Southampton International and the upcoming Shetland island one though. Don't even need to think about those for the home country add-ons...very, very useable Day 1 purchases for me. Thanks in advance! Await news.

Capnsully Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Ditto here Sid and Bruce, would hope us early supporters also get the 15% off. Scotty looks a wee bit of Grand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Frost Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Cool, I was sort of hoping there might be a bit of cross promotional deals on the FTX UK series on Scotlands release. For once patience has paid off. Cheers JV Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 At this stage we are deferring to Earth Simulations who have an IOM work in progress.

benweston Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 So if I've already bought ENG and WLS (was going to hit the button on that tomorrow!) how do we get the discount on SCO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 It will be automatically deducted from your SCO purchase at checkout time at FSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benweston Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Ok great. Bring on NI, Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man and I'll have enough flying within an hour in the NGX to keep me happy for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 John, Can you tell us what you won't be modeling, in terms of the U.K.? You've said the Isle of Man, what about the channel islands and western isles? I just want to know if I should wait, or go ahead and get Earth Simulation versions of those areas. Thanks.

2189 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 John, just a hint..... after Ireland, are you guys moving towards the rising sun or south closer to the equator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 It will be automatically deducted from your SCO purchase at checkout time at FSS. Thanks for letting us know John. Would have been getting this anyway to complete GB but this just sweetens the motivation to make it an all 3 GB nations Day 1 purchase...Early birthday present it is... Think I'll also pick one of the UK airfields/airports up at the same time while I'm at FSS. The only question remains is, which one?! Hmmm...think perhaps I'd better take another look at them...Dilemma is Russ White's texture resolution wizardry or a scenic surrounding area/approach first? Choices, choices... . But more seriously, thanks for laying the cards on the table to make all the prioritising & immediate decision-making go more smoothly and quickly for us...Exemplary ORBX yet again. Wish a lot of other developers could learn a thing or two from you guys! Looking forward to the weekend in Scotland! . Hope you guys have a good one too! Thank you, Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah let's celebrate, I'm so happy and I can't wait for Scotland scenery....... I'm looking every hour if it released by pressing F5 Cause I've got buying Eng/Wal at the first day and now I spare money....let's celebrate... by the way Irland and northern California would be another must have....for me *smile* I will spend my holidays this year in a roundtrip in Northern California. But now Scotland to fly the trip of the last year!!! THX ORBX CREW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimh20 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I haven't previously bought any of the English Airports, since they are all grouped down in the South. I registered, some time ago, for the Senior's Discount, and the GB week offer seemed too good to miss. I followed the link to FSS, logged in, added each of the seven airfields to my basket, went to checkout, entered my card details, confirmed, but the total cost remained the same, with no sign of an "OAP" discount as I was about to press the final button. At that stage I chickened out, not wanting to get involved in protesting after the fact. Especially as I hope to be buying Scotland too, very, very soon, not to mention Global next month, could someone explain exactly when or how one can see the discount being applied, before it's too late in the buying process? It's very probably my own fault, but I couldn't find a way to ask FSS. Thanks, Jim H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 The discount gets applied right at the very end of the process. Don't panic, it always gets applied or else FSS would have a riot on their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibidut Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 But JV the week is almost past...and and there is no Scotland yet, do you take a prepay or? Kind regards Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimh20 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi John, Thanks for the prompt reply. You now have a mini riot on your hands, or in FSS' hands! I took you're word for it, went back into FSS, logged in, found my basket still contained the seven Uk Airports, went through the checkout all the way, and I have an email from FSS, showing the full amount. What do I do now, please ? From a disappointed Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Lehmann (FSS) Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi John, Thanks for the prompt reply. You now have a mini riot on your hands, or in FSS' hands!

What do I do now, please ? From a disappointed Jim. Jim, the discount was indeed applied. If you compare the prices of those EU airports on your order with the prices shown on their respective product pages when NOT logged into your FSS account you'll find that they were automatically reduced based on your senior discount status. Simple to miss I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimh20 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thank you, Adrian. I apologise for the fuss. I've just been back to the FSS, to check the procedure, and of course you are quite correct. I'll try to be more observant next time. No excuses! Best Wishes, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex330 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I just grabbed the promotion pack, having pondered for long whether to get the scenery due to "wallet emptiness".
