Hello Rodger,
it's a copy and paste of part of an article that it didn't take long to find, here:
VivoBook vs Laptop: What's The Difference? - (askkissy.com)
Spammers do not need to do anything that makes any kind of sense, in fact, their very existence is utterly senseless.

Hello,
I'll just leave this here, as an example of the new approach to spamming used by our friends in Pakistan.
One might have thought that there would be more urgent matters to deal with over there.

Hello,
it is pretty clear that there are no across the board results as a consequence of installing SU10.
As a sweeping generalisation, anecdotal evidence points to the effect being much less pronounced
on "high end" systems than it is on those lower down the scale.
In my case, for example, the difference between SU9, SU10 and Dx 11 and Dx 12 is negligible.
My preferred settings never get anywhere near the frame rates that some are reporting, but I have
always chosen the quality of what I see on the screen over the number of frames per second.
I also find that even with the highest possible settings, allowing the frame rate to run amock achieves
nothing in terms of on-screen quality but instead simply produces much higher temperatures in the
PC hardware for no other return than more frames per second.
For this reason, I keep the frame rate limited to 33% of 75hz, 25 fps and the frame rate counter switched off.
In the FS forums, one can read posts that state that SU10 is the magic bullet, followed by a post that SU10
has broken the simulator, so the range of results appears to be as large as the number of users who care
to contribute to those forums.

Hello,
it seems that you have issues with "FMOD" which are affecting some of your aircraft
and with plugins that are affecting the others that you have tried.
Perhaps you can try to restore your copy of X Plane 11 to its default state and then try it
with the Orbx scenery.

Hello heinzight,
if this is a problem with the installation, then it might be useful to open the Orbx Central log,
click on select all, delete the entire contents and save the empty file.
Then run Verify files for the troublesome products and attach the resulting log to your next post.
Thanks.

Hello,
the best thing to do is to send in a support ticket.
You can do that here:

I tried deleting the MSFS COntent xml etc and it was still bad.
I have deleted the contents of content.xml and now it remains empty after MSFS is next run.
It is now a redundant fix.

Hello,
my own uninformed opinion is that today's high end computers, such as yours, are hardly
affected by a few background Windows processes and that the pursuit of trying to close them to allow
a particular game or simulator to run better is probably something that can be confined to the past.
That said, I have disabled most of the addon software that would like to start with Windows in
the Task Manager\Startup window, so that there is no need to close it later.
All of them can be opened from the start menu if and when required.

Hello Carlos,
I didn't know many of the answers to your questions but it looks like most of them are addressed here:

It's also not explicitly mentioned on their website which is shocking given that it is vital to know. I am still awaiting a response from them.
This is what is written on "their" website:
Key Features
- Complete airport and island package
- Highly detailed rendition of Skiathos Airport
- 2021 custom aerial imagery for airport
- Complete with PBR textures
- Meticulous detail landside and airside
- Custom GSE & static aircraft
- From developer Matteo Veneziani
The fact that there are static aircraft is mentioned.
There is indeed no mention of a control panel.
This is the response to your ticket, written by me, 45 minutes after you sent in your ticket.
Hello,
very few of the current orbx airports have an Orbx central control panel that would allow disabling static aircraft.
As you mention, there is no connection at all between the two marketing media.
I did my best, the forum topic that explains in detail was posted on 31st August 2020, thirteen days after the release
of the simulator.4 hours ago, 007Marky said:Here's another suggestion - how about warning you that the scenery has static aircraft, or even better offering two versions of the software.
This is the description at the Marketplace.
The fact that there are static aircraft is mentioned.
Indeed, there is no mention of a control panel, as the Marketplace does not support product control panels.
I am told that at present, it also does not support the uploading of two versions of the same software.
This is the release announcement for LGSK, posted on 5th November 2021, 322 days ago, as of today.
A control panel is mentioned and it has been available to all Orbx Direct customers since its release.
Customers are able to make an informed choice between the two purchasing media.

I've contact Orbx support about this
Hello,
I am not seeing either your ticket or the name of the product that you have bought that you would like to have a control panel for.
Could you provide the ticket number and the name of the product please?

Hello,
my own experience is that the best choice, for me, is Direct X 11 and my 2K screen using DSR to emulate 4k.
Direct X 12 appears to be exactly the same to look at as Direct X 11 is, except that all 12GB of the VRAM is immediately filled to the brim.
DLSS just makes everything look less sharp with no upside, the frame rate and general performance do not change.The highly intrusive in-game frame rate counter consistently tells me that the game is CPU limited and my very expensive new graphics card
is just leaning on its fence, idling along with what dribs and drabs the CPU can feed it.
Meanwhile, the simulator looks great and performs perfectly adequately.

Helicopters for me too. I confess to having given up many years ago.
My favourite aircraft is a taildragger and the MSFS habit of calm air becoming a howling crosswind as soon as the wheels touch the ground
is a little disconcerting, to say the least.

Hello Rich,
thanks for an interesting read.
I am sorry for your loss though and I am pleased to see you back again.

Hello,
if you mean two separate operating systems but on the same PC and at the same location, then the answer
to your question is that one account will work and there should not be any issues.

Hello,
possibly, the path to your external drive is not correct?

Hello,
really, we should be asking @Ken Hall if he would mind taking a look.
I note the ticket and have brought that to his attention too.
I'll close this pending Ken's reply.

Hello,
if you installed your Orbx products into an Orbx Central Library, then you can create
a new Library with a path to where you have put the files now.If you installed them directly into your Custom Scenery folder and then moved them
from there onto your external drive, you have put them where Orbx Central cannot see them.

Hello,
the purchase of the model of a closed airport is a delight to some and a disaster to others.
Meigs Airport in Chicago closed in a blaze of publicity in 2003 and yet there is still demand
for a model of it, even in MSFS.
I think it is highly unlikely that it would appear in any "FMS database" either.
It is not a secret that Tegel airport closed in 2020 and it should be no surprise to find that
it is no longer in a database.
Please submit a support ticket and a refund will be considered.

Hello,
as mentioned by FsElite in the link kindly provided by Fjeuber, the product has been withdrawn from sale.
I do not know why.
Existing owners should be able to install and use it.
Will Orbx X Plane 11 products be compatible with XP 12 when released

Hello,
the Orbx CEO says that it will be.
