thanks for the advice.
When I opened Accuseason app few days ago a pop up screen appeared stating that new version is available. Try to start the app, maybe you will see an update. -
Hello
How can I get Orbx products transaction number? I need it to activate REX Accuseason Advanced version.
Thanks. -
Hello
I am not sure I have installed REX Accuseason correctly, so far I see no changes in the MS2020. The whole process was very confusing. I had three options where to install. I have Microsoft store addition but community folded is in the custom location. I also use Addons Linker.
Orbx library is located in the folder linked to the Addon linker. The installer installed REX Accuseason into that same folder, along with other Orbx sceneries. Every time I either open REX Accuseason app or refresh Addon Linker folders when I install something else the REX folder in the linker got unticked (disabled). Trying to figure out why REX becomes inactive.

Hello
Is there an agreement between WFSS and Orbx to transfer license to Orbx?
Thanks.

I purchased EDDM and LOWW. I didn’t find those airports in the content manager developed by Asobo, only those I purchased from Orbx. So there was nothing to uninstall. I guess it only applies to Asobo handcrafted airports like Heathrow. So far everything looks good.
-
Yes. I meant to uninstall default scenery.
Thanks for the advice. Usually the developers do not say whether the default scenery should be uninstalled or not. I don’t want to uninstall anything I am not supposed to.
Thanks for help. -
Greetings.
Pretty much most of sceneries I installed I buy from Orbx. What I noticed in Orbx Central, that many sceneries are from different developers. When I install new scenery do I always have to delete default scenery from content manager in MSFS? I read conflicting information whether I should keep the default scenery or delete it.
Thanks

Providing there is green ticks next to your products, available updates will show in the top right of central
Great. Appreciate the help.

I might have found what is happening. I just installed new LPPT Orbx scenery and when accessed Orbx Library folder I found only RJAA and just newly installed LPPT scenery folders reside there. Both RJAA and LPPT are shown with green checkmarks in the Central. I think when I installed my other sceneries (UUEE, EIDW...) I copied those sceneries from Orbx Library folder to the Addons Linker folder and then I deleted scenery folders in Orbx library folders. Not sure if I was supposed to do that. I now reinstalled all sceneries again and copied them all to the Linker folder as I did before but this time I did not delete anything in Orbx Library folder. All sceneries are now have green checkmarks in Orbx Central. Looks normal now.
Now the only question is how will I know if there is an update for a scenery?
Thanks

You need to open Addon Linker and see what is active in the Community folder section. Looks like RJAA is in your Addon Linker Community folder
All my sceneries are active in Addon Linker Community folder.

This is the same for me, did you install your addons straight into your community folder and then copy paste them out into another folder for addon linker? But however you did it they are installed. If you go into addon linker and ‘turn on’ all your scenery, then they’ll turn green in Orbx (providing you restarted Central) and then you’ll be able to check for updates
Well. They do not turn green in Central regardless if I turn them On or Off in the Linker. I restarted Central, reboot PC, still the same. Only RJAA is green. But I installed them all the same way. If I click on RJAA the option 'Uninstall' appears. The opposite with other sceneries.

Ok I see. I will check it tonight. But interesting RJAA is green all the time, UUEE is not but both made by the same developer.

Hello.
MSFS 2020
I noticed that several sceneries in the Orbx Central shown as they were never installed. As it shown in the images RJAA has a green checkmark and LOWW and UUEE don't. If I click on LOWI/UUEE then Install option appears. It does not appear for RJAA. I use Addons Linker and all my sceneries are in the dedicated Addons Linker folder. All sceneries are installed and work. Even if I reinstall those sceneries again those green checkmarks still do not show (only for RJAA).
Also, I never saw any updates for any sceneries as I saw before for P3D. Am I missing something?
Thanks

That what it is Nick. I was under assumption when you installed mandatory update on the game start all WU install with it. I guess I still have to installed them separately. Problem solved. Thank you

Hello.
I installed new LOWI version but before that I uninstalled LOWI from Content manager as it was suggested. I see some elevation issues.

Hello,
those only need to be done if you have a problem.
They are designed to rule out as many other factors as possible
before attributing the cause to a specific product, payware or freeware.
In normal use, none of them are necessary.
Thank you Nick.

Greetings.
When do I have to do these steps suggested above? Before or after installing updates:
1. Delete any rolling cache.
2. Delete the Content.xml file.
(AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Content.xml)
3. Delete the simulator .dat files
(AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes\*.dat)
4. Do not add anything to the Community folder before running MSFS after the update is complete.
If these steps are recommended before installing new update how will I know there is an update pending? I do not always check for update news and there are time new update catches me off guard.
Thanks for looking.

If you are asking if you can move some Orbx addons from C drive to D drive then the answer is Yes.
I use Addonlinker since day one of it's release and because it creates symbolic Links and not Shortcuts, Orbx Central will read and update accordingly. Of course you must have the addon enabled via AddonLinker in your Community folder in order for it to be updated.
For example if you have on your D drive, Orbx LOWI and an update became available, you would need to ensure that you added LOWI to the Community folder via AddonLinker symbolic Link first and then ran the Orbx Central update option.
Orbx Central will read the Community folder so any Orbx addons that have updates, need to be symbolicLnked by AddonLinker into your Community folder.
I do it all the time and no problems at all. I do use the Microsoft Store Premium de-luxe version of MSFS and not Steam but I would see no difference in this particular application of moving addons from one drive to another.
Try moving an addon from C to D drive and then enable it using AddonLinker. If the Steam version has issues with it then just move the addon back to the C drive. I don't anticipate any problems will be experienced.
Hello.
Where can I find some information how to do that? I have just started using addon linker and I cannot figure out how to install Orbx sceneries into linker folder. Thanks
