EvidencePlz 143 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Quote Nick asked: As a matter of interest, how many e mails have you received from Orbx Direct about X Plane 11 product releases this year? I haven't counted but it feels like I get xplane emails every day. matter of fact I've received one just now that is 100 percent XP related. seriously add some preferences to your emails so that we can select which platform we want to know about. I have and love XP and i find its default airports good enough plus its gateway program has loads. i see zero reason to buy anything for xp. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Cooper 7,070 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I will draw this to the attention of @Aimee Sanjari who may be able to comment. I am not suscribed to "marketing" e mails and therefore do not receive them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aimee Sanjari 1,106 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hello. We currently do not have the functionality to add a platform option to the email opt in. This is something that is being looked at as a possibility for the future. Thanks for your feedback! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EvidencePlz 143 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 @Aimee Sanjari thanks @Cyclone1 you said, Quote Man it never ends now email notifications are a problem; really! If we did not get them there would be a complaint, if we do get them there would be a complaint...does it ever end; guess not. I must point out here that I wasn't complaining about receiving marketing emails from ORBX. Matter of fact they are very useful and important for both businesses and consumers. I have a busy life and it's nearly impossible for me to spend time searching for and learning about new products. These marketing emails help a lot with keeping myself up to date with the industry. The actual problem (and to be honest it's more of an annoyance than a problem) the OP and I have is that we are receiving marketing emails against our will for a product that we have no interest in investing our money into. Imagine that your platform of choice is xplane and ORBX sends you emails advertising p3d addons every week. How would you feel? It's a catch 22 problem because unsubscribing from orbx emails would mean we will not easily get to know about latest info, updates, product releases, future plans etc regarding Prepar3d, our simulator platform of choice. The only way for orbx to solve it is to give us an option to customize what emails we want to receive and what we dont want to. I can cite plenty of real world examples and sites that do have such an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or, you could check this site once per day to see all the latest releases/news. I NEVER subscribe to emails unless somebody's sending discounts with them.

carlosqr 4,856 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I think it would be good to create a list of only P3D users, and one of XP users, a data base, and then you know to which group to send the corresponding mail You create an instruction, to this group only P3D marketing mails and to the other just XP ones The thing is that when you receive one you jump in happiness, then you check it and all is XP... a cold shower at midnight Cheers Carlos Edited August 1, 2019 by carlosqr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teecee 1,232 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Just to throw the cat among the pigeons, I would like to see the forums segregated into Sim Types.. it's annoying to read a post and finding it is of no interest to me,,IE I only have Prepar3d v4.5, and Ozx addons, and no interest whatever in any other sims.

Nick Cooper 7,070 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hello Terry, even if this was done, it would be defeated by the posting of support requests into the "no support requests here please" forums and of support requests for P3D into the FSX support forums and vice versa, all of which seem to be unstoppable. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Jack, if every topic was closed that contained a red herring, there wouldn't be many left open. The discussion on the e mails has raised once again that whatever we do, some customers will like it and some customers will not. Equally, sometimes the customers' wishes can be accommodated and sometimes, it is not possible. On the topic, one thing is for certain, a constant clamour of "is it nearly ready yet", however expressed, will do nothing to bring forward the release date of anything. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack the Swede in Spain 424 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 "If every topic was closed that contained a red herring, there wouldn't be many left open." Yes Nick, that would be very good and force people to keep to the topic or start a new one. Jack the Swede in Spain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fltsimguy 330 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 For those who own P3DV4.5+ whatever, and do not have XP11+, buy it, you don't know what your missing and you will soon find features and quality of flying like you've never had before. And have all the fun of double tweaking, pulling your hair out twice because of this, that or the other thing. For those who only own one sim, buy two and spend twice as much on addons from Orbx, its a great fun way to spend money. Sceneries for both sims are cheaper than a Chinese food delivery, cheaper than a round of golf for one, cheaper than going to the actually movies, about the same cost as a good bottle of wine here in Canada (land of the heavily taxed), cheaper than sim planes, 1/4 the cost of an lube, oil and filter change, and a darn sight cheaper than a tank of gas, stay home, buy a scenery and fly! cheers 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even using the broadest of definiitions, there are FSX, P3D v1 -3, P3D v4, X Plane 11, Aerofly FS2. Add to that the possible combinations of some of the five and it soon becomes clear that the simplest thing is to send the mails to every customer who has subscribed to them and let them choose which ones to read. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikael Cedergren 106 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 fltsimguy, I have them all X-plane 9, 10 and 11 and its just not for me, after a few weeks or months every time I go back to P3D Many aspects are great in X-plane in my opinion but I just cant stand the lack of ATC and AI and those are extremely important to me. I dont intend to start a debate comparing the different sims, its my huble take on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
