***MSFS2020 ANNOUNCEMENT***
MSFS2020 now has a release date of mid August!. This is far sooner than we would have thought, especially considering the SDK is not complete.
We don’t have any products
ready yet, but we do hope to start porting
some in the next month, providing there is
enough SDK to do it.
Customers need to understand that MSFS2020
is not a simple sim change like P3D V4 to
P3D V5, or even FS2004 to FSX. The move to
MSFS2020
is more like Windows to Linux, it is totally
different in every way. We’ve had some users
say that their FSX scenery will work in
MSFS2020,
absolutely it will NOT work. MSFS2020 uses a
new model format, new AFD structures and a
new terrain system, even the tools and
workflow is different.
Because we now have to
concentrate on MSFS2020 work, all other work
including new airports, updates and minor
bugs fixes will be on hold for t
the next few months. Sorry if you were
looking forward to any new releases and
remakes, they will still come, but will just
be delayed by a few months
Orbx en Flight Simulator: officiële bevestiging 14 juli 2020
Hi all,
Just
by
way
of
intro,
I
have
been
Orbx’s
CEO
since
September
2019,
and
I am
based
in
Australia.
I
have
not
actively
participated
in
the
forums
so
far,
limiting
myself
to
reading
the
diverse
and
eclectic
views
of
simmers
and
industry
players,
but
the
recent
announcement
of
MS
Flight
Simulator
launch
calls
for
a
view
on
where
Orbx
sits
in
all
this,
so I
am
breaking
the
ice.
Firstly,
at
Orbx
we
are
thrilled
to
see
that
the
new
MS
Flight
Simulator
will
launch
in
August.
Like
the
rest
of
the
community,
we
are
very
impressed
with
what
we
have
seen
so
far
in
Microsoft’s
next
gen
of
Flight
Simulator.
We’ve been waiting for some time for a date to lock down our product roadmap on this new platform. So this is it!
I am
very
happy
to
say
that
Orbx
is
producing
content
for
FS,
and
are
excited
to
be
able
to
deliver
our
world
class
products
on
this
new
platform,
both
through
MS
marketplace
and
our
own
channel,
OrbxDirect.
Our
roadmap
continues
to
include
high
quality
content
for
XP,
P3D
and
Aerofly
FS (when
possible),
and
we
will
continue
to
support
these
platforms.
We
have
some
real
gems
in
store,
and
of
course
we
continue
to
support
our
partners
and
industry
friends
–
specifically
this
month
through
#FlyJuly.
Overall, we hope to see new users take up simming with the new FS as well as take our current simmers on a journey of discovery, with AAA content!
I am keeping this topic open for questions or clarifications.
Looking
forward
to
expanding
our
(collective)
horizons!
Cheers,
Anna
