A bit of a cheeky thought really, I presume that you are still insome way contracted to FTX for the products that you made for them, and perhaps still do, but as there is a reasonably large interest for the ftx airports to be able to be used in photoscenery, not just tied to ftx regions, and especially as FTX have signaled their greatly reduced interest and coverage of the UK (by huge price reductions) Is it not possible that you can come to some agreement with ftx to market their uk airports under your banner, once they have been transmogrified to work in "normal" scenery. No doubt some sharing of profits would be involved, but this way ftx could capture more of the market without apparently doing a U turn per se.

Interesting thought Nigel, but I suspect OrbX will pooh pooh that idea, despite the obvious common sense and community benefit attached to it
OrbX obviously have not wanted to encourage the use of any other scenery, whether it be for financial legal or other reasons, so I can't see that mindset changing anytime soon. But the world turns and time passes, maybe I'll be surprised? K

...and yet ORBx have a section of their forum specifically for people who want to use their airfields with photoscenery. I have to admit that I was shocked when I saw this, because I was under the impression that they thought that all photoscenery users were the Devil's spawn.

This is true Chris, JV set up a specific section for compatibility with GenX, in response to one of my posts. The attitude appears to be, if you can do it yourself great, we'll take advantage of that, but we're not doing anything to help.

it will still be interesting to know what someone from sim720 thinks, I think considering how many times JV has performed a u turn in recent memory when he initially said he wouldnt do such a thing, has got to have left the door open to a sound business proposition.

And yet, most of their airports have photo scenery around them...
