Jay Kae of Orbix writes “……..Welcome to our new world! OZx (pronounced Aussie-X) is the new collaboration of scenery designers that began life under the auspices of the FTX Freeware Development Team. The invigoration of a new name and our own dedicated site means we are able to develop and refine our skills and techniques in an environment that is removed from those intense pressures associated with commercial scenery releases. However, as a group, we still remain committed to the success of the OrbX Full Terrain eXperience ideals, and as such we will be doing our utmost to ensure the scenery we release will install without conflict and blend properly into FTX.

Due to language ‘hurdles’ we had a somewhat cryptic news post from Marco at VoloVirtuale (that would be Virtual Flight in English). I ‘think’ they are taking requests from Italian simmers for specific VFR ‘objects’ to be developed and placed by them in their freely downloadable scenery. If you want to know more AND understand Italian, then check out their website here.
