DDC Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I have a question. I have been buying lots of Orbx add-ons from the FlightSim Store (I bought CEF4 this morning which I highly recommend...) but I notice that for some of the products I buy, including Southern Alaska, there are no reviews so I became the first to review. Am I missing something? I am a little surprised that there would be no reviews for some of these products. I thought FlightSim Store was the only place to buy Orbx products?

GroovyMotion Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I too have noticed that...I guess I should give reviews myself since I bought 4 add-ons in the past 2 weeks. I try to buy everything from FSS, it makes it my One Stop Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmatron Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Maybe there's no reviews because everyone is too busy enjoying the scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Watson Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 +2 It doesn´t need a review to decide to buy. You buy because it´s an airport or area you will fly to or you want to add to your Orbx collection. There are so many screenshots that words aren´t really needed.

John Venema Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 We used to encourage customers to post review on FSS but we have not bothered in the past year or so because as others have said, if you have to rely on one paragraph reviews on FSS to make a purchase then perhaps you don't want or need it. There is also the issue of "reviews" being posted by people who have not actually purchased the product. If it was me purchasing I would rely on the screenshots and videos on the Orbx websites and forums (since we do not 'doctor' our screenshots) and also customer screenshots, feedback and comments. Since Orbx has a solid reputation for delivering consistently high quality, most customers know exactly what to expect from us even before reading a single review.

spirit_66 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Too many good reviews make me always a bit suspicious if they are true or done by the developer of the product. Spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ae so right...and also some reviews are made with improper or corrupted installs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
