    Orbx and FS Market Place difference in price

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Yes. I am aware that other flight sims, may vary.  This is for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.  I have the Orbx Central webpage open now, and there is a difference, and I just checked again in FS.   An example:  EGKR Redhill Aerodrome UK (which I am getting soon, had real flying lessons there) in FS Marketplace the price is USD 15.99 (UKP 13.45) but I am now looking at Orbx Central price USD 22.39 (UKP 18.83)?  Something very wrong here, unless FS Market Place pricing is indeed cheaper? Just like buying from a shop or online sale, prices do vary for the same product. It's called competition!

    Just saw it. In this case I'm at my wit's end.

    Hi Michael. Just received a reply from FS2020 support (zendesk). They have analyzed all the system and other files they requested.  They say it is my virus program BitDefender that is causing the CTDs.  They said, I need to un-install it.  However, I did have an exception for the whole FS2020 folder, and they know this. Even with the exception it must continue to cause a conflict with FS2020.

    My PC spec is very similar to yours, I have a 3090, but instead of an i9, I have an i7-11700K, and 64GB of 3200 DDR4, and MSFS runs superbly in Ultra. I strongly believe it is forces other than your PC at work here. As JoseCFII said, it could well be something in your Community Folder. Have you tried renaming it, and running MSFS in its vanilla state?

    I truly think this is an outstanding sim that is only getting better.

    Thanks. NOTHING IN THE COMMUNITY FOLDER. Also followed advice of Zendesk and moved the empty Community folder on to the Desktop. Please read my other replies.

    Add-ons, as in freeware normally, are the most likely cause of the CTDs.  Excessive overclocking is also a candidate.

     

    The vanilla factory fresh MSFS has proven to be ultra stable and should run at Ultra settings on your computer all day every day.

     

    Something isn't right, but whatever it is, it isn't MSFS itself.  AFS2 is a nice smooth sim sure, but MSFS can be just about as smooth and offer the world at your fingertips.

     

    I'd be looking for a solution myself.

     

     

    Thanks. Obviously a fresh install is the ONLY answer. I have tried Safe Mode but still CTD.  All Mods, and Add-Ons removed. Empty Community Folder.  How do you do a Vanilla install? Is it a fresh install without any add-ons, without the Asobo add-ons?

    I can second that. When I (very rarely) had CTDs it was always faulty or incompatible add-ons. (Aside one in-between MSFS version which was hotfixed within short time).

     

    I have all addons (including those by Orbx & friends) organized with the free Addon Linker. This way I can isolate faulty add-ons using a nesting procedure. It's a bit nasty (took an hour each) but always worked so far at the end.

     

    And btw., faulty addons can bring other sims to CTD as well. Believe me.

     

    Kind regards, Michael

    Thanks. Please read my other replies. ALL Add Ons, Mods are removed.

    Maybe another tip; be sure you have not overclocked the CPU and/or GPU. That could be the culprit too since MSFS is very demanding and possibly overloading the overclocked processors. I had that with my jump from P3D v4 to v5.

     

     

    Thanks. Win11 and all Nvidia updates, and Asus driver/bios updates.  All mods removed, NO OC on CPU and GPU. Exceptions with BitDefender, and still CTDs with BitDefender  disabled.  Ram tested took hours, OK.  900w PSU stability test, OK.  Disabled various settings in FS2020 as advised by Zendesk and huge amount of advice from FS2020 forums.  I have tried everything possible.  A full uninstall/re-install of FS2020, and maybe a clean install of Windows may be the only answer. But WHY should I be forced to do this when Win11 and ALL other Apps, Sims and Games are running fast, faultless, and smooth?

    I have a dream PC for FS2020, i9-11900K, 32GB Ram, RTX3090, Gen4 MP600 Pro 2TB SSD, Ultrafast Fibre BB, and recent update to Win 11.  The PC runs fast on Win 11 and ALL other Apps, Sims and Games including AeroFly FS2. I did like FS2020 and for short periods it was superb, BUT I could never complete a flight before it CTD. This has been going on now for over 6 months, and it is time to quit with FS2020 and all Orbx FS2020 scenery add-ons.  Over this time FS2020 support has still NOT resolved what the problem is with the continued CTDs, despite the huge amounts of effort on my part to resolve it.  So I have decided to remove FS2020 from my PC and continue with AreoFly FS2 monitor mode  and AeroFly VR which runs superb, crisp and clear.   However the scenery in AeroFly is not that great.  Does Orbx  have scenery for AeroFly?   Or can anyone recommend another Flightsim?  

    Paris Landmarks NO update?

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Forum

    Posted

    Since the MS France update I have been waiting for the update on Orbx Paris Landmarks.  Because the Orbx Paris Landmarks conflicted with the MS France update the Orbx Paris Landmarks had to be uninstalled.  Months have passed and I still see there is NO update?  It seems Orbx are ignoring this?  I wish that I had not purchased this Orbx product, what a total waste of money. This is strange, because after the UK update, soon after Orbx updated their London Landmarks adding extra content, and removing any scenery conflicts.

    EA-7 Edgeley Optica needs update!

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Forum

    Posted

    This is the first time I have been disappointed by a Orbx download.   This aircraft is the worst in my collection.  The aircraft is very hard to control, to take-off, to fly and especially to bank, and not easy to land.  I can not believe this aircraft would handle so badly in real life.  I have had several real training lessons at Redhill Aerodrome in a Diamond Katana DA20 and one test flight in a Piper Warrior II.  There are very few light aircraft in FS2020 I have not flown.  By far this EA-7 is the worst, and needs to be updated. 

    Paris City Update, still no update? Refund or Exchange Please.

    I purchased this Orbx product some time ago. A few weeks before the France and Belgium FS2020 update.  After this I disabled the Orbx Paris City Landmarks.  Even though now I would buy products via Orbx Central, I purchase the Paris City Landmarks via FS2020 Marketplace.  But I still see after all this time  that there is NO update listed in the Marketplace?  Its been a long time, are Orbx going to just ignore this, if so I want a refund, or an exchange for other scenery? 

    EGLC London City Airport FAILS to Load?

    Hello,

    did you buy this from Orbx Direct or from the Marketplace?

    I purchased it via the FS2020 Marketplace, as I did the London City Scenery.  I have made more attempts after 4 hours from previous attempts, it still FAILS to download? I have loads of free space on my SSD's, about 750GB of free space.  The 2 Orbx downloads are the ONLY 2 paid downloads with FS2020, all the others were the free stuff downloads. No problems with my SKY Fibre internet.  How many more tries? Something wrong here?  

    EGLC London City Airport FAILS to Load?

    This is the second Orbx purchase. First one, London City Scenery loaded fine, and looks fantastic.  However, I do take-off and land regularly at London City Airport, so decided to purchase Orbx EGLC London City Airport.  IT FAILS TO LOAD?  Goes up to 250mb then stops? I have tried several times, but keeps failing? Other downloads work fine.  I do not really want a refund, I want the Airport. PLEASE Orbx!
