Orbx Company History

In 2005, John Venema began working on a personal Australian terrain project for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, a PC-based entertainment simulator often used for real pilot training. Encouraged by an overwhelming response to previews on a small blog site, the project soon became a thriving user community and a gathering of very talented designers and developers.

With the advent of Microsoft’s Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D (P3D) John saw the potential and Orbx was born. In 2006, Orbx was formally incorporated as a company and work began creating and releasing airports and scenery covering the entire planet.
