FSX/P3D. Updated 10/01 18h UTC / It still not possible to download Siletz Bay, due - apparently - to the simstore flightsimstore.com Siletz Bay was announced this morning as "ready to buy".
It's a shame that Orbx channel most of their releases through him before other distributors are able to offer it. I for one refuse to have to pay expensive currency conversion fees for software that is sold only in Australian Dollars!
Adrian and FSS has been somewhat slow with product releases from other developers since beginning of this year, not only orbx. We had products sent to him for upload to the FSS store since February and they are still not listed. It seems, and I am only assuming here, that there may be some sort of in-house issue going on with the owners. Adrian is not the only owner and although he is the store's frontman, he or an associate needs to come on here or other reputable sites and set the record straight on what the real issue is with the slackness. At least we developers need a straight answer, otherwise no more business with FSS. Perhaps Mason should send him an email requesting formal explanation for the benefiti of FSS customers and developers.
Sorry, but I can't believe that this scenery has had the Buy Now showing all day on the Orbx website and still nothing is available when following that purchase link!
Actually I'm totally shocked, as this to me displays a level of unprofessionalism and sloppiness I would never ever have expected from Orbx.
And to make matters worse, there appears to be no announcement anywhere to explain this?
I don't know if Dom contacted them but I am confident they are aware of the issue and will work resolve it. Things happen. I am sure you all will get the new PNW toy soon! And I can understand the frustration. Orbx PNW is by far the very best looking scenery I have ever seen and all those airports are far beyond top notch. As Orbx is primarily an Australian business, I believe they like to support their local business first before releasing to other global distributors. I personally can understand that. Just hang in there folks.
Oh, but I thought John is a part-owner of flightsimstore too. He seems to have a say on when orbx products are uploaded to the store. I may be wrong though.
There is something very wrong about the positioning of the trees on the left side of RWY 17! I have seen some real life approach videos on the Internet and the trees in the Orbx scenery are definitely too close to the RWY 17 threshold!

I guess someone messed up somewhere because when you click the Buy Now button, the product isn't yet listed and is still unavailable for purchase!
Yeah, Adrian Lehmann from The Flightsim Store messed up the release of New Zealand North Island as well:

Ah.. Sorry for that. It might be a question of minutes/hours anyway.

It's not your fault Dom, Adrian Lehmann from FSS has managed to mess up Orbx releases before!

Dom or D'Andre, have you guys sent John Venema a message to make him aware of this error?
I understand that errors with a website may happen, but for a full day?
I find it totally ridiculous and unprofessional!

Looks like it's working.
