ORBX/FTX Northern California

[tigisfat]

DISCLAIMER: this is not an 'are we there yet' thread.


Rather, I was just wondering about the timeline. I'm sure the pacific northwest took a very long time to build. I'd just like to know if we are maybe a yearish away from Northern California hitting the market, or are we many years?

Would rather it be the rest of BC and Alaska next.

[JayKae]

No, we are not :)

[tigisfat]

No, we are not :)


Perhaps I should rephrase my question. So you're much less than a year or a couple years?

[dominique]

I'd love to see Trinity Center, Scott Valley or Happy Camp airports over in the Shasta Lake area having this kind of treatment !

Im sure I saw Jaykae or one of the other OrbX team post a sort of plan of action somewhere, but I'm damned if I can recall where(or even if it was posted at all!)
This link has their planned releases but I imagine it will take rather a long time to do all of them

I'm pretty sure he responded to your question "Are we maybe a yearish away from nothern cali hitting the market", with "No, we are not", meaning not even close to a year, meaning much more than a year.

yes, but I also asked if it was many years. He said 'yes' which could mean under a year, or leaves open the interpretation of 'many' years. I wouldn't consider two years 'many' years, and two years is a possible timeframe for that release.

I did read their upcoming works, and they appear to center on the northern california project.

Here is the intended release sequence:

North Rockies
Pacific Fjords
New Zealand South Island
South Rockies
New Zealand North Island
NorCal
SoCal

Three of these projects are being developed in parallel so they won't take 12 months each, that much I can say.

I look forward to their rendition of new zealand, but to have northern california join the oregon scenery would be great.

That's quite an undertaking, to publically announce your next six years worth of work. I won't tell my girlfriend what I'm doing tomorrow.

No need for digging at all; what John says is what we do. ;)

:icon_lol: Sorry, I thought he was just an ORBX/FTX fan. You developers can be pretty anonymous here.

ah, thank you for joining us, John. I appreciate the replies here. I know you guys would prefer to answer questions in your own forum.:ernae:

Yeah the buck stops with me, LOL!

I used to have a sig section here at SOH but they updated their forum software and (call me daft), but my sig disappeared and I have no clue how to bring it back.

I had that issue, then I learned only paying members can have a sig. :redface:
