Strangely, I don't have this issue with the Dubai pack, but I do have it with the London pack since SU5. I've had to remove the London pack in order to fly anywhere even close to London (e.g. from stapleford EGSG and southend EGMC), the loading bar would hang almost immediately upon clicking 'Fly'. But Dubai works fine!

I have the same issue as others, click 'Fly' and the loading bar hangs. I had this for the London discovery flight, but also pretty much any airport near London (e.g. EGSG and EGMC). Tried deleting all manual cache, rolling cache, emptying Community folder, deleting content.xml. No joy on any front. The only solution was to uninstall the packages (both EGLC and London Landmarks) and everything works fine now ... except that I've paid for an addon that I can't use! Everytime I load the sim, I check those uninstalled packages to see the release date hoping a new one would have come out, and when I don't find it, I come here looking for an update on a fix, but there is none, and it's starting to really grate. It's been well over a month now since sim update 5, is there no official word on this yet? FYI, these are in-app marketplace purchases.

OK yup, it's there now. I must have checked on there about 12 hours ago. It must have just gone live, embarrassing, but great!

I've been searching for this, including last night, is it brand new or have I just missed it?

I've been looking forward to downloading the 'new' Dubai landmarks pack, as it somewhere I like to fly. But it's been more than a couple weeks since release now, and there's no sign of it on the in-game marketplace. Does anyone know if it'll ever make it's way there? I have tried to make a policy recently, that I buy all my content from the in-game store, since my earlier method of grabbing content immediately from whatever developer website it was available on, left me going manually to various websites at least once a week to re-download the package for an update, that I have to manually copy into the community folder. Don't get me wrong, Orbx central is a lot better than that, but still, I'd rather just be able to occasionally go to the in-game content manager -> updates available -> select all -> update, than to have to go to multiple places to check for updates. Anyway, I'm hoping there's just some delay in getting it signed off for the in-game store, and that it'll turn up eventually, but after ~3 weeks, I'm starting to lose faith.

Oh fantastic! How do I opt in for email alerts? That's precisely what I need!

Just want to keep this thread alive, as it's currently where I'm watching/waiting for an update (in lieu of email notifications telling me so) about an update to the paris pack. It's been almost 2 weeks since they last update (which was "we're working on it" ... no slight intended!), which was itself almost 2 weeks after the thread started ... which was itself a week or 2 after the world update. We do now know they're working on it, which is great, but is there yet an ETA? another week, a month, sometime in 2022? If memory serves (which these days, it's progressively failing to do), the Orbx update for London, following World Update 3, was in the region of 10-14 days. I grant this one might be more tricky, or not, I dunno. But an approximate ETA would be handy.

It's all been said before, and there's differing opinions on the whole subject. My $0.02 is that whilst I'm aware of all the issues the devs face, and I'm happy that they will even update it (although, this is so that they can continue to SELL it, not out of charity), yes, and I'm even happy to sit and have it uninstalled for a period while this happens, yes ... I don't think it's wholly unreasonable after a couple of weeks, to be informed of approximately when we might expect it. Personally, as the original post in this thread said, I find myself every few days googling and trawling forums to see if I can get an answer as to whether it's been released yet, only to find threads that have been 'answered' without any kind of actual answer. Again, I'm not saying "I NEED IT NAOOOOWW!!!", I'm saying that if I knew it going to be "about another month", I'd forget about it, and make a mental note to come looking again around the end of May. Or, better still, if they had some mechanism to send me an email when it's released, I'll happily live my life and wait for the good news in my inbox. Is there some way of getting emails regarding specific (or even 'all') Orbx announcements? If so, I legitimately think that'd solve basically all the issues for about 95% of people that are currently complaining - like myself
