britfrog 180 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 seems that due to the lack of interest in the public buying the uk scenery we have dipped out in having some more stuff produced for us. Link to post Share on other sites

GHAO 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Do I need ORBX for this, or is it standalong? Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Doesn't hurt to give it a try, you can always delete it. It might be a way of showing folks that do not have their products what they can do with scenery improvements. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 seems that due to the lack of interest in the public buying the uk scenery we have dipped out in having some more stuff produced for us. Orbx produce scenery for all parts of the world. Not surprisingly, some of their developers have special interest areas. In this case. the developer of the FTX Global Freeware Airport series, Neil Hill, is a resident of Lynnwood, Washington, USA, and it appears he has a special interest in producing freeware airports to support the FTX Global product in geographical areas which have yet to see a major commercial focus by Orbx. This freeware airport series also complements the existing FTX: NA region series. There is a similar freeware range produced to support the original FTX Australia series. Every release in the detailed FTX; EU region series, i.e. England, Scotland, Wales, etc, has a large number of enhanced airport scenery included in the package. The detailed airport series further adds to that range. Maybe Orbx are just spreading it around so the larger number of flight simmers that exist in the rest of the world can appreciate their work and take advantage of something for free. But then again, hey, it's 2014, a new year, so why should anything change. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 934 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Do I need ORBX for this, or is it standalong? George, Not wanting to put a finer point on it, but Orbx is a company, not a product. They produce a range of products of which FTX Global is but one. As the name implies, the FTX Global Freeware Airports Series is produced for the FTX Global product. However, as FTX Global is primarily a texture replacement product, theoretically, there is no reason why the airports shouldn't work without it, noting there will be some major texture mismatches. The only other potential issue will be terrain mesh related issues as the FTX Global Freeware Airports Series is produced based on a specific terrain mesh product.
