John Venema Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Scotland won't be released on DVD, we stopped all DVD production some months ago. There may be copies of Wales still available at some resellers. If you want to take advantage of the 15% discount on Scotland we suggest getting Wales from the flightsimstore.com to qualify.

TalbotFlyer Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I do prefer the DVDs because in my rural area we do not have fast downloading. The internet comes over the phone line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Düsselwings Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 ... buy both Wales and Scotland on boxed DVDs SAK was the last DVD Edition, so you will have to download Scotland... Edit: Ops, already answered... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You must have missed the announcement by ORBX that after SAK there would be no more boxed DVD scenery issued. Of course you can at the time you download the scenery area from FSS request a DVD backup of the file. It is a plain jane DVD no 'purty pitchers' or anything just a hard backup of your purchased software. It is very reasonably priced if you want it.

spud Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 As far as I know the DVD is simply the download file burned to the disc. I'm almost certain that you would have to pay for the download even if you did not download the file. The backup DVD is a slight extra cost item for those who want a 'hard copy' of the file. Adrian would be able to confirm that you would have to pay the software price plus the small cost of the DVD for certain. I sympathize with slow download via phone line (ah the memories of phone modems). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonman Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 This is one amazing schedule here JV! Thank You very much for sharing! Very impressive! I really need to upgrade my PC a bit over the next few months ahead, because there is really, really lots of great areas announced here which i am eagerly waiting for! The combination of FTX Global+OpenLC+various ORBX Region Packages+various airport sceneries will certainly and once and for all change our all simming experience to the noticeably better - something like a eal game changer! Now if one of the next versions of Prepar 3D finally also offers a reliable engine for it all and to do the work needed in the background in a reliable manner - then i think we can consider ourselves very happy flightsimmers indeed!

Capt Pugwash Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Upon release of FTX Global, Other airport developers and retailers such as Aerosoft and Justflight are surely going to have increased sales figures for airports throughout the world, now that we have a decent Orbx world beneath us soon. I am already looking at purchasing Brazil, Mexico and some Scandinavian airports...this is very good news for retailers because I am sure many thousands will be doing the same. But...if more people are purchasing airports to cover "their Orbx World" they may be less inclined to spend their hard earned cash on Orbx region airports as opposed to populating their new Orbx world via other airport/field developers. Already I see new little grass strip airfields coming available targeting Orbx customers from non Orbx developers... I would hope they appreciate the future increase in turnover and thank Orbx appropiately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I sympathize with slow download via phone line (ah the memories of phone modems).

A.B. Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 You must have missed the announcement I had read that. If I go to FSS and request a DVD backup do I still have to first download the scenery or is their DVD backup disc the same as a boxed DVD that I can use to add the scenery. My downloading takes forever over my phone line. You don't still have to download the scenery. You pay just slightly more (basically the postage and handling cost) and the DVD is sent to you. You will have to use an Internet connection to validate the software before installing, but this only requires downloading a tiny "key" file, and can even be done on a different computer to the one you intend to install the scenery on.

regis902 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm really looking forward to Ireland and Northern Ireland, my ancestral homes and favourite places on earth to visit. I'll be curious to see how Northern Ireland is handled due to its small area (smaller than Wales)...maybe we'll see an airport included? There's a few good candidates that haven't been touched by payware yet (Belfast City, Derry etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Has EGKH Lashenden/Headcorn now been dropped John. It was on the original list. I see that in the latest FTX England update the scenery has been changed around it which is a great improvement.

John Venema Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yes EGKH has been dropped for reasons I've gone into detail in other topics. The only small GA airports that will be released for the UK are ones that are still in production by the team. Our focus moving forward is slightly larger airports that are Q400/NGX capable across a further geographical spread across the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveb Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Its a great shame that the smaller airfields have been dropped John. That is where most of us that have that have a PPL fly from. It surely is the core business for Orbx. I, for one learnt to fly at Headcorn many moons ago, and am hugely disappointed that EGKH is no longer being produced. I brought the other airfields on the assumption that EGKH would be produced. It was on the roadmap on New Years Eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy74 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Sorry to bring this up again ( I feel that an answer from an Orbx staff member would be a more satisfactory result), but is there a plan for AI traffic for EU: England, Wales and Scotland at all from Orbx? Also.... Will the Isle of Man (The small island between the UK and Ireland which is host to the most amazing motorcycle racing event each year) be done too? Kind regards. Tim.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 No we're not doing an AI traffic pack for the UK or EU, and no we won't be doing the Isle of Man because Earth Simulations have a very detailed photoreal IOM coming out soon (although personally I feel their price is a bit steep).

Holger did that and he is part of ORBX now. Google Tongass X and get it -- it is as close as you can get to a FTX region without actually being that, and it fits seamlessly in between SAK and Pacific Fjords.

Tim Harris Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hi guys, If you have an airport/scenery you think we should 'create' you're better off making a post in the general discussion area, clearly state the location, some history or a reason why it is special to you, and if you REALLY want to get something started...offer to take or help out with ground level photos!
