John Venema Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Please just pick one option which is most important to you personally. This is not going to be a poll to decide for Orbx what to do, but it's simply a gauge of what users want most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
}SkOrPn--7 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 My vote went too New Zealand I consider that part of Oz and with that country done it will give us a great addon allot quicker to get into the mountains in my opinion. Look at all the other developers they couldn't careless about Australia so why not place your resources into countries surrounding OZ and move out toward the others. I know from a business point of view America or Europe would make sense to do next but my opinion is service Australians and surrounding countries first. America and Europe are all ready covered in detail and continue to be upgraded but not our neck of the wood........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Kae Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 New Zealand is what the heart says but for your business perspective I would suggest North America ( biggest customer base ) AFTER that ... NZ hehehhe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstyles Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I voted for Asia, well SE Asia The Philippines is a really interesting place to fly around, here's why:- Perfect for VFR and tropical "bush" flying. 7107 islands! (although only 500 are larger than 1sq km) Many volcano's. Check out the perfectly cone shaped Mayon Volcano near Legazpi airport http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/60/Runway.jpg/180px-Runway.jpg Lots of historic (WWII) interest including Subic Bay, Corregidor, Clark Field, Leyte Gulf Manila, mega city (10 million) and one of the worlds most densely populated, don't forget to do Shanty/Slum autogen Boracay Island Tropical weather (great with Active Sky etc) Some great airports including Manila, Baguio, Caticlan, Subic Bay, Clark, Davao, Cebu City, Legazpi Lots of ship/boat traffic (especially Manila bay) And lets not forget Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam!

Valerio320 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Being based in Northern Italy, I choose Europe. I am really looking forward to see how my homecountry looks with my new-buy FSGlobal2008 and your exellent work. But, being a fan of big irons and long haul flights, I just want to be sure that you will complete the whole world sooner or later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwinpoon Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 John, I really think Aisa would be the best option. Simply because not many sceneries are dedicated for these regions, and there are heaps of people just drooling over this. Plus it is suitable as there are heaps of international airfields but only short hops. And off course the diversity of the region as well.

Mike707 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I would love to see the rest of the US built. There are many beautiful areas that could be very well depicted by FTX, plus many sales would come from the development of FTX-US, which would allow for a profitable situation to continue development of the rest of the world. My second choice, however, would be New Zealand, which includes many interesting and beautiful areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auzy Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'd say either asia or new zealand. Unfortunately though, the main client base for asia would be citizens there, and I know from experience (at least the time I lived in indo), that its impossible to buy legal software there. That being said, Asia would offer the best scenary for joyflights (I know in indonesia for instance, you can walk across the road almost from your average house and you are walking into a village, and then across the road from that are rice paddies). That being said, I do get the distinct feeling that new zealand would be a really popular pack, because it too is quite interesting, and close to Australia. If you are a training pilot, and are using this in a proper flight simulator, for cross country training, its most likely that you would want a NZ and Australia pack, then a Australia and US pack (because, I may be wrong, but I believe that USA doesn't even use the same comms procedures?). So NZ+Aus would be better to train. Both of these would allow cross country flying easily. Its rare for Australian's to make flights to USA. But that being said, I know that the USA pack would likely be the best choice as a company. I probably wouldn't purchase it as America doesn't have much to offer in terms of scenary (Canada would be better I feel). But considering my fingers are shaking as a VFR learner here in aus, I know that any other American would be shaking in ecstacy at the thought of having high res scenery.

jgruschow Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I have voted for NZ, but I would be just as happy with Pacific Islands. I have no interest in USA or Europe and would not buy them. IMO I think you should complete our corner of the world before going to "far away places". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krigl Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I agree with the guys who want places like New Zealand, the Phillipines etc and their point that there's plenty of stuff for US/Europe. A lot of Freeware stuff will probably be made too. Eventually... Before VOZ I had never even once flown in Australia - now I fly there every week. The level of interest is so high people will buy whatever you make. New Zealand is the logical next choice, then perhaps Indonesia, the Philippines and the Pacific Islands. But make stuff that you feel inspired to do! The driving force behind VOZ and FTX Aus is your love for your homeland...that's why the detail is so awesome. As you expand, do the places that interest you most - keep it fun for you, and we'll all benifit!! Good luck!! Krigl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 allways beeing the odd egg in the basket here Alltough I can relate that NZ or Asia would be the "logical" next choice, I voted for South America.............. Why will you say? Well I think it's one of the most underrated areas when it comes to flightsimming and be aware that there are very large flightsim communities out there in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela to name a few, I think FTX could make a big impact with that as apparantly others haven't ventured there ................... yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreigndevil Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yes, South America would be great, too. But enormous also ... And then southern Africa would be nice, too, and then ... In the end we will have so many regions we won't be able to fly there because of lack of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwibarguy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 OK ok I'm a kiwi! So you already know which country im voting for! Americans are filming hear on a daily basis now for one reason. Our landscape. Plains, mountains, bays, islands, beaches, valleys, highlands, lowlands, big, small and medium sized cities. No long boring journeys for where ever you decide to fly to. North island provides flatter land with hundreds of islands and interesting coastlines, a variation of weather from beautiful sunshine days through to fog, rain and snow. Wellington city a challenge, Auckland nice and easy to fly into. The South Island, a myriad of valleys to fly through for the adventurers, lakes for the float planes, mountains for the guys who love to look for somewhere to land with their Maule. If you are tired of moutains then you can hit the Plains all along the east coast. Both islands are great for gliders, airports range from easy to oh my god, can i really land there, PULL UP PULL UP!!! A full range for all flyers to enjoy. New Zealand would also be a manageable sized project compared to our brothers over the ditch (Australia). .....o.k kiwibarguy you can sit down now.

satyr_2 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 John, My vote is for the UK. Plenty of variety, would appeal to (what i would assume to be) a large local & os population base. Historical, cultural relevance to Aus. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
