[Compatibility news regarding World Update VII - Australia]

Brisbane.  No CTD, but awful frame rates over the CBD.  Definitely recommend disabling this city pack until a compatibility fix is released.  The MSFS version is quite acceptable for normal flight operations in the Brisbane area, where 1500' agl would be expected.

I have disabled the city pack and the frame rates with YBBN v2 are still horrendous. Honestly this airport needs optimising. Disable YBBN Orbx and use default i get 80 fps. With Orbx i get stutters when panning and less than 20 fps. Load up a flight at any gate and prove me wrong!

Also - what's the easiest/safest way to disable it?

Same method as NZQN if you have payware Adam. Just remove it from your content manager in the sim and mark it as false in the content xml. Martin at FlyTampa told me to disable it to prevent issues. WU7 FT YSSY is fine without the default installed. Great FPS as well.

We needed to wait for MS to integrate their final changes and thus didn't get much of a head start.

I thought Orbx developed the WU7 for MS/Asobo?

To be fair, it's not like the content of this update will come as a surprise to Orbx. It would have been nice if they'd had a post ready for release on compatibility of their existing AU add-ons...

 

Hop in your plane and check it out! I did! They are all good. 

[WU7 Brisbane]

FPS are horrendous in Brisbane with the city pack and YBBN v2 after WU7. 10-15 fps. In comparison I open YSSY FlyTampa YSSY and Orbx city pack and i get 40-50 fps with ai traffic. Sydney is more dense and a much greater detail level in comparison and get better fps. I have deleted all my scenery dat files and content xml and no difference.

Just the best shots from todays adventure around Glentanner in the Southern Alps in NZ. Gotta love Orbx mesh and the SWS Kodiak.. Great pair.

As you've shown you have no error, just wondering, I don't have a Navigraph susbscription, are you using Navigraph by any chance ?

Yes i have Navigraph. I deleted MSFS/Asobo YSSY folder completely from inside the content manager and also manually. And updated the Content.xml from active to false.

[YSSY ILS misaligned]

Here is my Fly Tampa YSSY in Little Nav map. No errors. Did you disable the default YSSY airport? I have tested the ILS and also flown into KS many times and have no ILS errors or offset on any runway. Make sure you disable the MSFS default airport and move FT YSSY and scenery library down to the bottom of your Content XML.

Great news. It's awesome to see our local developers on the Orbx platform. I wish Greg and Sean all the best.

Bit more research!

I had the freeware Queenstown installed. Without it everything is OK.

 

Interestingly both the Queenstown and the superb Milford Sound say they have tried to correct the mesh around about the airport. I am sure this is the problem - there were no issues around Dunedin with another freeware airport, but which hasn't tried to correct the mesh.

 

I will leave a message on the .to website to see if they can release a version with the airport scenery but no mesh changes!

 

A great shame that there is this clash.
