This question is asked every time we have a sale, but sorry the answer is a polite no. The purpose of a sale is to be a surprise. We have become predictable with our two annual sales so decided to mix things up a bit.

Welcome to Basque country! Bilbao is the largest city in the Biscay province and the Basque Country as a whole, beautifully located at the northern Spanish coastline. The Basque Country may often be overlooked by the sun seekers travelling to Spain, due to it’s often unpredictable rainy weather. On the other hand, it has proven to be a popular destination for food junkies, hikers and surfers as it possesses incredible nature, great waves and world famous food. Bilbao Airport is an important hub for the northern region and serves destinations all across Europe. Beautifully located in close proximity to the city area, the airport offers fascinating approaches through the mountain range and via the ocean, crossing over the harbour and other parts of the city on final descent. With the nickname ”La Paloma” (The dove), the main terminal has become famous for it’s unique architecture. Designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 2000, it serves over 4 million people a year. Our scenery contains the whole city of Bilbao with important buildings added, and the whole harbour upgraded and of course the airport in it’s full glory. We sincerely hope you will enjoy Bilbao!

I moved the battle of flight sims discussion as I felt it going nowhere and wasn't a constructive discussion. We already deleted comments due to personal insults and it started to touch on the EULA aspects. Rather than see it deteriorate, I moved it.

A gateway to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Kern Valley is in the perfect location to make a stop on your journey north from the Los Angeles Basin, and is also just a stone’s throw away from ORBX’s other airfields designed for FTX NA Southern California. This is the second creation by Jordan Gough and we hope you enjoy it! https://orbxdirect.com/product/l05 Over 250 square kilometers of crisp 80cm imagery Sharp 30cm imagery used around the airport Accurate representation of Kern Valley Airport using real on site photos High resolution airport buildings and runways Animated trees around the airport that have almost zero impact on performance TextureFlow optimised = great FPS Amazing mountainous rural location Just a stones throw away from ORBX's other much loved SCA airports The second release by developer Jordan Gough Requires the ORBX FTX NA Southern California region

I think a few of you have been waiting for this one... This is a new version (1.52) that has a new version of the config tool, no other changes are with this update. Please note: P3Dv3/4 addons that use the the addon.xml method will not be picked up by the auto configuration AEC funtion. Considering the low uptake of addons using this method we decided to release Vector now. If an airport requires AEC to be disabled and it uses the addon.xml method, you can manually disable it. We are working on changes for the config tool to cater for these in due course.

Just some stuff to read up on guys http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/137931-freeware-titles-available-for-p3dv4/
