kermit_70 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I know FSDiscover! by Flight1.com is quite an old product, but I am wondering if it could still be used with ORBX terrains (either Global or FTX)... I guess the question for ORBX team is: do you produce or are you aware of files that can be used to update POI database used by FSDiscover ? Many thanks!

allan prewett Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 +1. I use Discover also. You can update with your own entries, if I recall. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit_70 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 yes, but what about existing files that can be used to update FSDiscover database? The main point is to discover things I don't know, already... Could the ORBX team think of generating anything like that? That would increase even more the value of their amazing products!

Hi, already done whenever you use a FTX region which carries many of specific POIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit_70 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 hey thank you Richard (great pic, by the way!). Does it mean FSDiscover! (which I still have to install) will know about ORBX's POIs contained in FTX regions without any extra update/install? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it is possible to add more POI's if missing but there are no general rules as people are not supposed to have a third party product when they buy the region.

So then what did you mean with "already done whenever you use a FTX region which carries many of specific POIs"? I think you misunderstood my question. I wasn't asking how to add POI in FTX regions, but how to export the location of FTX's POI into a file that could be read by FSDiscover. Are you familiar with that software? http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=fsdisc Since a lot of people are using it, it would just be an extra feature if ORBX made available a file with the POI's implemented in each FTX package. Just an idea. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 You can use that tool for your own purpose. ORBX is not allowed to provide file using third party items so is not FSDiscover with ORBX POIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
