This new store has been designed to ensure that customers can easily find the latest Parallel 42 products and also ensure they are buying products that are compatible with their simulator and interests.

You will also find the latest news from the team hosted on the platform, along with the ability to download product updates and get product support.

When we asked Edson about why the addition of their own store after using OrbxDirect for so long, here’s what he had to say:

“It’s about quality control really. Selling directly to consumers allows us to provide customers with service levels equal to or better than our preferred distributor, Orbx, and significantly better than Microsoft. Built on the rock-solid Shopify platform, we’ve crafted a frictionless, elegant experience, a million ways to pay at checkout, including Paypal, and proper multi-currency support so you don’t have to pull out a calculator when viewing a price.

“Lots of custom work went into creating this portal, but the user experience continues beyond checkout; accessing your download is instant after payment, and updates are without delay.

“Other benefits? Well, there’s the obvious one, you’re showing us more love and support by buying direct!”

Over on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator website, the team has shared a new Community Spotlight on community member JoeyBolo77.

The interview is in celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and goes into a bit more detail in how he got involved with flight simulation and his experience on Twitch. You can read the full interview on FlightSimulator.com.

How long have you been playing the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise? What was the first version you played?

I’ve loved flight simulators since elementary school. I remember booting up Flight Simulator 95 at the school computer lab whenever the class had the chance to go in. We didn’t have joysticks or controllers but that was time well spent for me. My dad figured I liked airplanes and flying so much that he got Flight Simulator 98 for me to enjoy at home.
