ThrottleUp 18 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello friends I've been away from FSX for a long long time. During that time a lot has changed, many updates to my fav Orbx stuff. I've just downloaded 35GB of updates from Orbx (updates for my payware stuff and all the freebies) and I just had a query: I have AU Green,Blue,Gold,Red (AU-GBGR) On the Orbx site I spotted "Australia": https://www.fullterrain.com/product/australia What is this product exactly? Is it a direct replacement for AU-GBGR? Would you suggest I buy this and uninstall AU-GBGR? Thanks!!... and well done to Orbx team on the amazing products. Cant wait to reinstall all your great addons on this fresh FSX on a brand new drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spud 185 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Throttleup, your correct in thinking it is a Full replacement for the old AU-GBGR and is also updated (update 003) so it will give you better OZ scenery than the older files but spending the money is up to you. However the download is on sale for the month of May at 37% off the regular price. And I believe the senior discount also applies for even more savings IF your and GOF like me! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the heads-up Spud Cool, ok that clarifies things a lot, I think Im gonna get it considering there is a 37% off sale. What did you mean by "senior discount" - you mean the forum-rank? That would be cool hee hee because it says "Senior" for my rank! If this is the case you give your forum username when you buy it? Thats how it works? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spud 185 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 "Senior Discount" applies if your 64 years and 366 days old! (I ain't gonna say sixtycinco) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solution Alex Goff 676 Posted May 4, 2015 Solution Share Posted May 4, 2015 If you have any of the Australian regions (Red, Green, Blue, or Gold) you can get the complete Australia region for free. The price should be $0.00 upon adding to your cart. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dadtom65 595 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi Throttleup. To get your senior discount you need to send proof of that to the Flightsimstore where they will make a note of that and then every time you buy any Orbx items you will get a senior discount, which I beleive is 20% or is it 2% . Oh this getting old bugs me. Cheers Derek. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ThrottleUp 18 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just to update: I downloaded "Australia" free free free as Alex told me. Such a nice surprise after coming back to the sim after so long Thanks to all for the replies!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Goff 676 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 If you have any of the previous AU regions already installed and want to start fresh, here's a guide from the FAQ: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/4485-uninstalling-ftx-au-regions-a-quick-guide/ Only thing to note is don't delete the entire Orbx folder when you're done. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
