I checked the FTX recent release for new updates and noticed this for FTX Central:

Other changes:
• Backend changes to support X-Plane.
• Support for Aerofly FS 2 DVD edition.
• Fix case sensitivity issue with the ObjectFlow 2 add-on.xml.
• Fix errors when uninstalling products.
• Fix incorrect "FTX" entry placement in scenery.cfg in certain conditions.
• Button to toggle local mirror scanning.
• Added a confirmation dialog before uninstalling a product.
• Made category switching faster.
• If only one category is visible, automatically select that category.
• Don't force a product category to be selected if the user has already navigated to the another page.

I could Google this I guess but is FTX making scenery for X-Plane now?

Yes, they are making some airports and some photoreal scenery. No 'regions' in the sense of their FSX products, or at least that's what they're saying for now. I think they're going to release Meigs Field first, which includes a whole bunch of downtown Chicago. There are some screenshots here.

Pretty amazing stuff! I had no idea. I need to upgrade my PC I suppose. The X-Plane demo puts a strain on my current rig.
