Orbx Sale For 47 Percent Off

A

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Orbx is having 47 percent off sale even though I do not know which products.

So since I am totally new and totally clueless about Orbx stuff, what scenery or package do I need in order to be able to utilize and enjoy PAJN and PAKT sceneries, please?

Will Orbx sceneries screw up FSX and computer systems??

Regards,

Aharon
 
I wouldn't sell or trade my Orbx files for a million bucks. They have made my FSX into something I love to fly. I had one problem with FTX Global a long while back but Orbx is quick to fix their problems.

Great news, thank you!

You might want to start with Pacific Fjords and Southern Alaska. Have a look here: https://goo.gl/maps/bN9RRCz2y712

How good are they? Well, without Orbx I wouldn't be in this hobby anymore. That'S how good they are!

Second that. I have most of the Orbx scenery (both full fat and Global) but I don't know why I bothered sometimes. I could spend all my life flying in the Pacific Fjords and Southern Alaska regions and never get tired of the scenery.

If those are the only places you'll ever fly that's one thing, but if you also fly many other parts of the world then Orbx Basic and Vector Basic are a must. With those two your environment changes completely over the default offerings.

Certainly not. . .it wouldn't be as popular as it is if that were the case. That only happens when the end user starts messing with things he/she shouldn't mess with.:biggrin-new:
 
I hope the OP doesn't mind if I tag a question on to this thread: I'm thinking of getting FTX Vector in the sale. I've got Global and OpenLC Europe/USA as welll as several full fat regions and airports, but I've always held off with Vector because of conflicting reports in the forums about problems with VAS, FPS and airport elevations. Some users have them, some don't. I flew in Iceland recently using FTX Global and the coastlines looked like they had Vector applied to them for some reason (I could be mistaken obviously!) and that ran absolutely fine on my system.
Any thoughts please?
 
I run almost everything they make... no issues. Wouldn't fly without Orbx World!

Vector is indespensible... just select road detail appropriately for your system and run the configuration EVERY TIME you make ANY scenery addition/deletion.

HTH- Carl
 
The global stuff plus vector and land classes would still clock in at over 100€. YIKES! :dizzy:
 
I moved to P3D just before the ORBX changed from purchasing from FSS. Consequentially I have eleven DVD's of ORBX scenery I cant install to P3D as I didn't buy them from FSS.
They say they are working on a way to verify other purchases so one can get a P3D installer . . . . . . but it's been over six months !
I really like flying their scenery, but in P3D right now I'm restricted to California. Bummer ! :sorrow:
 
I wish their new shop system would show the prices on the top level... having to call up each individual scenery in order to see whether it is discounted or not is not customer friendly.

I just finished building my new rig, and was interested in their North American regions. Are they still planning to release the rest of the continent? When was the last release? Thanks.

They never planned to cover the whole continent - that's what OpenLC North America is for. Since the Hawaii project fell thru because of licencing issues there is no plan for a North American region anymore. Looks like they are diverting their resources to the new platforms Dovetail Sim and Aerofly, although FSX/P3D will stay their main platform. At least that is what I have understood from several posts of John Venema.

The last North American region was Southern California (SCA), released last summer. Their latest region is Germany North (GEN), which will be followed up by Germany South (GES). After that who knows?
