Looks pretty nice and I almost bought it. Then I saw a ATR static in Swiss livery... geez, this cant be serious, no? This totally ruins the immersion of this nice little airport, as Swiss never used ATR... Can the statics at least be disabled?

The Official Folder/Onestore...
Ehm, you are aware that the ordering inside this folder is only a visual aspect and you can change this also from Z to A instead of A to Z and then your Orbx folders are not on TOP but on the very bottom?
What you mean is the ordering within the content.xml file and this is (usually) alphabetic. But it can get messed up, that is why I delete the content.xml file from time to time and let it rebuild... this usually fixes such errors even without taking any care about the ordering of the addons...

Does anyone know if scenery *order* (in the contents.xml file) is important for Orbx-related scenery?
I always delete the content.xml file after a MSFS update, often even after bigger scenery addon updates. You can basically delete the .xml every time you fire up MSFS, never had any issue with it and it does also not slow down loading or such
BTW: I sadly stopped using NZMF completely, but due to another reason that is still not fixed two years after release: the ridiculous snow coverage when using live weather. How do you guys fly in the sim? For me, if I am using live weather, I always have snow coverage around NZMF. If not directly at Milford itself, for sure some miles north. Totally immersion breaking...

Any news on this? Or do we have to try and error ourselves as a customer to see if the product we payed for is actually working or not?

Yeah, changelogs... I wonder why many addon devs take this so easy and "forget" to put changelogs online. I am one of those who is always curious to learn what was changed, even if it is just some small details...
-
True, but Orbx always used shortcuts for geographical designations, like EU for Europe, AUS for Australia, PNW for Pacific Northwest and so on. I am pretty sure they were not using EU as the shortcut for European Union. Anyway, funny it is for sure ;-)
-
Honestly, the "quality" of this dev group is best illustrated by the fact that you can actually buy the product via Orbx, but their own homepage still shows the product as "coming in July 21": https://seafrontsims.com/global-shipping

EU...?
Take it as a geographical designation, not a political one. Or did Brexit also move the whole islands physically out of the European continent? ;-)
-
Really surprising that there is no feedback here, obviously Orbx no longer needs money from longtime customers. Bummer...
-
Same here, since some days, I can not purchase anything due to this issue...
-
There we go, another insta-buy for me. Looks great!

Seriously, I wonder how this mesh is compatible with the many sceneries on flightsim.to. I guess I wait until I know it for each of those I already downloaded. At least Milford Sound seems to be incompatible...
-
Rather show images from locations where default mesh is completely off, like in the milford sound. THIS would be interesting, not mountain ridges that are almost as good id default...

Am I blind or is there not a single screenshot of the actual airport of this package? Just city screenshots. Don't get me wrong, this will be an instabuy due to the city for me, but I am at least a little bit amused about the announcement of an addon airport with tons of screenshots but none showing the airport itself ;-)

Now it would be even more interesting to hear something about the Cityscape Singapore Scenery from you Orbx guys, no? Has been terrible quiet regarding this awaited addon (at least by me :-)).

Really disappointed by the Orbx London City Landmarks, this is a joke. I dont even buy the explanation "from higher altitude it looks ok, it was not meant for low level flying" as this is simply an blunt excuse for having it messed up. There was NO, absolutely NO need to replace the POIs that MSFS already offers in great detail in the default city, I really do not get why somebody decided to do this. The only explanation that makes sense: pure lazyness. Taking those POIs out would have increased the workload so it was skipped. Simple as that and a really bad sign that Orbx goes down this route...

Any word on this from the devs? Or is FTX Vector just moved over to v5 and now finally definitively discontinued?

Same here, default flightplanner almost unusable for me with Vector installed...

These updates add better support for Vector when installed into a library, and also adds support for scanning add-on.xml based products in the auto-config tool.
Glad to hear, finally. One question: is Vector now capable of detecting ALL xml based addon sceneries or "only" the ones from ORBX?

Holy Guacamoly, that is a nice surprise. Thanks for this, now ESSA is back into business for my Europe IFR flying.

New LSZB scenery...
in Microsoft Flight Simulator
Posted
Well, to be honest: probably 90% of the customers of such small airfields ARE very much aware of this fact, because only those knowing this airfield will buy it. Even a RJ100 from Swiss would be wrong, as they never served LSZB anyway.
I prefer rather no statics over such inaccuracies. Or at least, if you are aware of it, make it optional.
Bummer, but with this static ATR non removable, I am not going to spend money on this product.
