Hello, internally, there is a checklist that must be completed before the system will allow any product to be released. One of the items is "Map features", so it is highly unlikely that a product will not appear on the Discover map at all. We have seen that, occasionally, it might not appear in exactly the right place. If I open Orbx Central for MSFS, the Discover map is littered with airports. If I open it for P3D v6, because I can, there is only one. It looks like there is not a way to see every product for every simulator at the same time. Could that be it? On the subject of whether they are marked as owned or not, it might also be that there is more than one version, so if you owned say YBBN for P3D, it will not show as owned when the MSFS map is active. EDIT: I notice that we had hijacked Carlos' topic, so I have added these posts to one on the actual subject.

Hello, are we on the same "map"? One seems to be the MSFS world map and the other, the Orbx Central "Discover" map. Perhaps, there is another map as well?

Thanks again. Adding the minus sign has moved it back on land.

Hello, you will need to add it to your Orbx Direct account by "buying" it.

Hello, the short answer is that scenery on the Orbx app is not more expensive than on the Orbx site. The longer answer is that the Orbx Direct site can be viewed without logging on to it. Until a customer has logged on to their Orbx Direct account, Orbx Direct does not know where in the world they are and cannot therefore calculate what rate of local sales tax may need to be added to the price. There is a note to this effect under the price: A customer cannot open Orbx Central unless they have logged on, so prices will always have any applicable local tax added. There is a note to this effect under the price:

Hello, many thanks for pointing this out Wayne, it was just a missing minus sign, now fixed.

Hello Carlos, I have sent the developer an email, asking him to take a look.

Hello, thanks. This time, the complaint is that regardless of what your preference is, once it loads past the "blackshark" screen, it immediately goes to full screen windowed, as in Carlos' screenshot. I prefer to have it load in a smaller window at the top left of my screen, but at the same point, it defaults to Carlos' screenshot as well. If it is not happening to you, then that is a good thing, however, Asobo/Microsoft have themselves acknowledged that there is a "bug", stated that they have found it and that the solution will be released with the next simulator update.

Hello Carlos, this is their fault, over at the FS forum it has been widely reported, no doubt in other places as well. The message is that they have found out what is causing it and it will be corrected with the next simulator update. In the meantime, there is nothing to do apart from press Alt + Enter.

Hello, please state which simulator version that you intend to use. Thanks.

It must be said that after so many resets, the greater likelihood is a hardware problem.

Hello, if you have any products purchased at Orbx Direct installed, please try this: Microsoft Store Edition 1. In the game, delete any rolling cache. 2. Delete the simulator .dat files (AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes\*.dat) If the problem persists, take this extra step. 3. Do not add anything other than the problem product(s) to the Community folder before running MSFS again. Steam Edition 1. In the game, delete any rolling cache. 2. Delete the simulator .dat files (AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SceneryIndexes\*.dat) If the problem persists, take this extra step. 3. Do not add anything to the Community folder before running MSFS again. Note: the quickest way to do this is to rename your Community folder to CommunityX. Create a new Community folder in the same location.

Hello Wayne, my own view is that 2k is ideal for a 32" monitor. My 4k monitor is a 43" monitor, not a TV as is often used and for me, that is also the ideal. The monitor's maximum refresh rate is 144hz, but I can't really tell the difference. I gather that would be more useful for action games, where things move much faster. A 4k monitor will commonly operate in a range of resolutions, up to 4k. All lower resolutions will look worse than the "native" 4k resolution, just as they do at lower resolutions than 2k on an up to 2k monitor. I can say that 4k is much harder work than 2k for any GPU and that a capable GPU may well cost far more than any other component in your PC. I was quite happy with 2k on a 32" monitor, until I found the means to change my 1070ti card for a 3080ti and that's when the 4k monitor became a credible option. It was a lot of pennies to spend, but the improvement was as spectacular as yours is on your new 4k TV and for me, worth every one of those pennies. In the end, it is of course a decision that only you can make.

Hello, it looks as if it is not yet on sale.

Hello Jim, can you attach a screenshot of a bit with the dead look please?

and in Orbx Central.

Hello Wayne, here, all of the the links work. They work in Edge, Yandez and Opera. I do notice that in Rodger's post, there is a full stop at the end of the link, try removing that, or using this one that doesn't have a full stop. https://msfs.breincorporation.com Or even a different browser, or clear your browser cache.

OK, I will tell you that the lighthouse is also included in the UK world update, so in both cases, there will be two if EU GB North is added.

Hello, it looks like you just missed the latest sale, 27th February to 3rd March, to celebrate the leap year. I understand that February, March and leap years happen at the same times in both North and South hemispheres.

Hello, this is the excerpt from the version 3.3 guide.

Hello Carlos, please take a look at this topic and see if it helps: I see this:

Hello Wayne, I think you answered your own question in the last line. However, in my humble opinion, the smaller the screen, the less obvious is the improvement. In front of me here, I have a 43" monitor @4k and it is indeed excellent. At each side of it though, I have 32" monitors @2k and they are almost as good to look at. You do need a fairly strong PC to drive 4K as well.

It is but I have no more news.

Given that it does not yet exist but that the existing versions do, my best guess is yes.

Hello, this extract from the original User Guide is still relevant. This refers to a product that was released several years ago and which has been subject to scrutiny from all angles. On this occasion, the product under discussion does not yet exist.
