Since the Alps WU update by MSFS self, it's a rather good mesh already.
Quality-wise, maybe. But it's morphing like hell and the dolomites are.. Not pretty
-
by the way... does Orbx intend to make an Alps Mesh one day? I would definitely be a potential customer for it

All 3rd party mesh both freeware and payware was affected by the update 9.
Devs are working to get the issues fixed as has happened with the NZ mesh.
It is not a quick and easy job so patience is required and appreciated.
thank you!

Hi all,
recently, the Himalaya Mesh causes the Monastery in Paro to sink in a deep hole.
Since this is the main "VFR Object" on this approach, this is quite frustrating.
I tested it for the cause and it already appears if the Orbx Himalaya Mesh is the only object in the community folder.
I checked for material.lib or modellib conflicts and found none.
I would guess that the monastery has a fixed elevation given by Asobo and doesnt "snap to ground". Is there anything that can be done about this?
Of course i would prefer to have the Himalayas Mesh active whenever i am in a starred Himalayas Airport
Greetings,
Paul

Can anyone confirm that the "Camp Out" Scenery folder causes all ground services to disappear on major airports?

I've just updated MSFS WU7 and there's some duplication of bridges with the photogrammetry and Sydney Cityscape are we meant to uninstall the latter until there's an update, I would of thought that Orbx would have an update ready to drop, seeing as Jorg mentioned on the DEv Q&A, how closely Orbx have been working with the MSFS devs on the Australia update?
yeah kind of a bummer, to be left in the dark like this, and at the same time seeing them selling the city packs on promotion via orbxdirect

Hi Guys,
is there something like an official statement from Orbx whether or to what degree the Orbx City Upgrades are compatible with the content that Asobo issued for World Update VII?
I mean, they should be somehow compatible at least, otherwise it would be quite immoral to put them on sale now
Cheers,
Paul

Nothing yet...
I think, soon, means something different is Australia
It's a turtle race between Orbx and Tailstrike Design now

Just like to express my great desire to see Melbourne released! I used to live there and just got a decent VR rig along with the Bell 47 helo and flew around the city to "walk down memory lane" but was a bit disappointed by the default MSFS scenery. I'm a big fan of the other Orbx packs I've purchased and look forward to this one! Cheers...
the MSFS World Update in January will be Australia, YSSY is already a bespoke airport in the sim and for any other given australian Airport, there is a decent payware scenery already.
If Asobo is able to see the writing on the wall (wishful thinking), this would be the perfect opportunity to fill the gap, they dont even need to make their own airport, just buy it from a trusted creator (like with Zurich from Gaya)

Thanks, I'll give that a try, though
I think it is covered by "4. Added only LPPT to the Community folder."
if you bought those addons through the marketplace, it's in the official/onestore folder and wouldnt be covered by 4.)
-
Have you guys untilized Rex Airport Textures or Zinertek, bought via the marketplace in the early days?
If yes, try to deinstall and restart the sim. Many CTDs during the loading phase can be traced to those "texture replacement tools"
Cheers

The same user further reported that I’m using the button at the top of my joystick (hat switch?) to try to look left or look right - that’s freezing the sim requiring a restart.
I've got a Honeycomb Alpha Flight Control with a hat switch and I couldn't reproduce this. I've got a Tobii Eye Tracker 5 using FaceTrackNoIR V200 and I tried disabling it inside of MSFS by disabling TrackIR and then using my hat switch but I still couldn't reproduce this.
i have the thrustmaster airbus stick... i wasnt sure about the correlation and blamed coincidence that it always froze when i made a quickview to the side (to be honest, i am looking around a lot to appreciate the scenery)

Had a user report that "Trying to switch views still freezes the program.".
which would support my theory that "quickviews with the coolie hat" provoke CTDs on it as well

Nice scenery addon but with an apparent major flaw. The approaches are not available - should be a rnav to both main rwy. This is with navigraph.
I really hope this will be corrected quickly!
Richard
well, we might not have approaches, but we have 2 million windmills which are all perfectly in sync. thanks asobo

Hello,
it seems that this did not happen during internal testing, I have asked again, it happens to me too.
okay, if it happens to you as well, i guess it's reproducible -
anyway, i have also tested if it has something to do with Zinertek Enhanced Airport Graphics or Rex Airport Texture (those are the usual suspects), but this is not the case.

Yes, this is happening to me also. The program worked once (flew halfway between YBMK and YBHM) but when I tried to restart it later it crashes when I enter a departure airport (only when selecting Santa's Sleigh).
I too am grateful for this freeware!!
John
exactly, the first time was flawless but i spawned on the runway directed away from the rings, so i wanted to restart to take off in the correct direction and from then on it went south
-
Hi, i know this is freeware and i am indefinitely thankful to you guy for providing us with nice stuff, still i wanna notify you, that Santa's Sleigh causes CTDs for me.
It's definitely not the "Xmas Ring Parcourses", it's the aircraft itself.
Reproducible:
1.) first selecting the sleigh as aircraft and then selecting a departure airfield leads to a crash
(on your facebook page, there are other people reportin this phenomenon)
2.) first selecting a departure with a different aircraft and then switching aircraft to the sleigh lets you start the flight but will eventually lead to a CTD during your flight, i think it happened every time when i was looking to the right with my coolie hat, but that might be a coincidence.
Anyway, thank you again for all the nice freebies this year, i'm a happy customer!

Hi all, see the picture for reference. I do not know which update has introduced this, it hasn't been like this in the beginning.
Greetings,
Paul

when i spawn on the skydive runway with a taildragger, the "cinematic camera" goes below the runway and shows me the runway below the scenery. also weird.
didnt get a CTD though. did you delete all freeware dubai scenery from flightsim.to?

Flying under the Harbor Bridge Sydney in the Orbx scenery is possible, furthermore it was possible to fly under the Luxembourg "Red Bridge" and the Hoover Dam bridge (both asobo) in earlier versions but only if you took small planes. i have the feeling that "crash or not crash" depends on the plane you choose, not on the question if it "should fit" or not

I would also prefer to buy Fly Tampa's Las Vegas Bundle on Orbx Central and my fingertips are gettin' itchy... are there any news on this topic?
-
So far i only know about an Ex-Ante Update for LEBL by LatinVFR and an Update for the Bredok3D Eurofighter that Simmarket gave out for free for a while.
After that, I checked Orbx Central, where - as Nick said - no updates are avaibable yet.
Just to clear things up, IF updates should be available, would Orbx Central alert the users about available updates for sceneries or do we have to dig into the sceneries to see if something is available?
Greetings,
Paul

Hi Doug,
thanks for your quick reply, and sorry to reply to you so late, but i went into some testing to give you valuable feedback:
Good News:
The issue does not appear if the community folder only has Changi in it, furthermore it does not appear if only products that can be purchased on orbxcentral are in the community folder, i.e. Orbx, MK Studios, Drzwiecki.. no problem
Further Good News:
After some really annoying trial and error I was able to identify the culprit that causes the floating:
https://flightsim.to/file/8887/beekay-pack1 , particularly the subfolder beekay-scenery-bk-buildings
I will contact the Author of this addon to create some awareness, after all, it's a pretty useful object library used in numerous other freeware sceneries.
Thanks again and keep up the good work,
Greetings from the surroundings of EDDV,
Paul
