Alvega Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I voted for Pacific Islands, but South America would be great too. And next Europe. And Caribbean Islands, and French Polynesia, and... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Monkey Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I voted for Europe. Actually, since the most efficient thing is to identify a region with similar ground, vegetation etc.. that could be something like "Mediterranean Europe" including Spain, south of France, Italy etc and all the way around up to Algeria and Morocco. North Africa has never been covered by any addon despite being a major touristic destination. I don't know about aerial photos and landclass data though... Otherwise, I'd love to see a detailed rendition of south east Asia. Starting flights from Oz, there are wonderful place to go such as Singapore, Bangkok or Hong-Kong (or the amazing Macau airport ). And then, Pacfic Islands sound a great idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocha26 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 It's just gotta be Northern England (Lake District), Scottish Borders region and the Scottish Highlands. We can compete with Switzerland/Austria and NZ for shear grandeur and beauty. Given the choice I would go for NZ as a close second and Austria coming up third. No disrespect to our US brethern but I strongly believe there is still a vast hitherto untapped flight sim community to be brought to the fore in Europe.

raveyman Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi, Suggestion - put Europe down the list. I just noticed a new product coming out called FS Altitude which covers it, albeit photo images at high level, so less use for VFR but for us iron simmers.... http://www.pcaviator.com/shop/viewAProduct.php?pid=898 Nah, stick to NZ and Asia please.....no other developers seems interested which is weird because so many of us would love to fly there... ravey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Farringdon Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm a Kiwi so, yes I am going to say New Zealand. It's not just because it's my home country but because it is considered around the world to be a beautiful country that would benefit the flight sim world immensly by the FTX treatment. It is currently just an FSX desert and I am careful where I fly there. \ The diversity of flying as mentioned by a previous poster is also difficult to recreate in many countries. Its proximity to Australia is another advantage. The international flight opportunities between the two countries adds another spectrum to the AU rainbow..a sort of 'sparkle on the side'. After that (or perhaps packaged with NZ) Rarotonga and Fiji, to add a bit of nearby tropical content to the unfolding FTX web? A great product now in my possesion. I think I could trust Orbx to do a good job of New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreddhk Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I find that most of europe is covered already, and covered very well, I might add, with photographic scenery. The one area of the world that seems to be really lacking is Southern Africa. I'd love to be able to fly over Natal (Eastern S.A.) and revisit the area I grew up in. I know, completely selfish, but thats why its a 'request'. Because FTX looks so much better than just the photoreal pics painted over mesh. Besides, Horizon haven't bothered to add any objects yet. I sort of agree with your comment about the UK being one of the less spectacular regions of the world but it's my home! My second choice would be Iceland but I know that wouldn't get many votes Cheers, Dan. As an aside Dan, I see you said that there were no objects, as of yet, for Horizon's VFR stuff (UK) .. well, if you're prepared to do a little digging & legwork (as it were) you could always install the AGN files, as well as other real world scenery objects from www.vfraddons.co.uk, which is all available for free and should work just as well with Just Flights scenery too. Hope that helps mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby88 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 You've a big task ahead if you're eventually going to cover the whole world. I voted for Asia above. Africa would be nice eventually too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just voted for New Zealand to put it 1 vote ahead of Europe. My next preferences would be PNG and SE Asia, followed by Africa and South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad_strebor Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I figured new zealand was a given and would already be top of the list, so I voted Pacific Islands. But in my mind that covers ALL the islands in the pacific area... Japan, Philipines, Indonesia, PNG, Soloman islands, Hawaii (I'm aware there is already scenery for hawaii), etc. I think it would be great to go island hopping around these areas.

Holy Cheese Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Personally, I'd like to see you guys tackle Africa (at least parts of it!) as this is also an area which seems to be very neglected in the sim. Cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaker Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I voted for New Zealand as there is some spectacular country over there and I think you guys would do a hell of a great job. Africa and Asia would be my next choices. Even though the Americans are a huge market, I think they have more than enough attention directed to that continent. If you do elsewhere it might get more of them to fly outside their patch and see what the rest of the world looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicvroom Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I cast my vote for New Zealand. Having said that and taking into account your business and profit requirements, I think Krigl made a very important comment in his post on page one of this thread. You need to pick a country that you the team are interested in doing and will find fun to do. Yes you do now have to make a profit so that has to be taken into consideration but your product is excellent and sells itself. You are planning to cover the world so it will be important that the team maintain their enthusiasm to complete the project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesto Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Since most people like to fly over familiar territory the most, I think most people would like to see their home area covered with FTX quality. Since I live in Missouri, USA, I would like to see Orbx cover the rest of the USA. At $30/each, purchasing the region packs will start adding up quickly, so I'll have to be a little choosy as to which ones I buy. I mean no disrespect at all to Australia, but I've never been there, so the difference between flying over, say, Brisbane and Melbourne is not that meaningful to me. I may not even buy AU Gold since I can get my FTX fix with AU Blue. On the other hand, the difference between Chicago and St. Louis is very meaningful to me since I used to live in St. Louis and have visited Chicago numerous times. I would likely purchase ALL region packs covering the US, even though I already own GTX and UTX, while I would only purchase a small handful of selected region packs covering other areas of the world. If money were no object, I would say that Orbx should give some love to all regions of the world and I would buy them all. But since money is a limited resource for me, and I assume for Orbx as well, I would say that Orbx should focus on covering areas that will generate enough profit to continue producing such fantastic scenery. Anyway, that's just my opinion, and I guess the paid-for market research is what really determines which areas are likely to be profitable.

John Venema Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 You raise valid points Pesto, and we understand where you're coming from completely. We're going to do areas around the world which offer the best VFR experiences first, which is why PNW is first cab off the rank for the USA. Also, don't discount AU GOLD and GREEN - they will offer some of the most spectacular VFR flying in the country, along with beautiful tropical islands and literally hundreds of freeware airports to choose from. Imagine doing island hopping in a Beaver or shuttle flights to Hamilton Island resort, or doing a flight over Hinchinbrook Island with it's spectacular cliffs and mangrove river delta? You simply can't compare Melbourne to Brisbane because they are worlds apart - sort of like comparing Miami to Boston really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SimFreak Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm Dutch yet I voted for Asia. I'd love to see Europe done but I feel that Asia has always been a bit neglected and having seen the beauty and strength of Au Blue I can only dream of what wonders you guys could do to Asia.

eagleone Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Northern Italy would be an in incredible piece of scenery (especially if the Dolomites were modeled rather than formed by mesh). http://www.summitpost.org/area/range/150874/dolomites-mountains.html Also South America is an unknown treasure for most flight simmers (especially the Andes Mountains), but beware of its gigantic area!! You will need an army of scenery artist to make any real progress. You would have to create a huge number of new textures plus the landclass to use them.

dmrich28 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm just hoping that your PNW region covers as much of province of British Columbia and the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho.
