    Hello,
    It has been switched off to allow testing.
    I am sure that was not your assumption but that is what is taking place.

     

    Thanks for your speedy reply Nick.

     

    If only "The Management" processed the ability to communicate  as well as you. We wouldn't all be left having to make assumptions 😉

    Which TrueEarth Great Britain are you waiting for?

    (North/Central/South, P3Dvx.x/XP11/XP12)

     

     

     

    Hi Matt,

     

    Personally, I am hoping to have TrueEarth available in XP12.

     

    It has been mentioned somewhere that GB was going to be made for XP12. I hope this is still the case?

     

    Was it ever mentioned that any others would be converted for XP12 like Spain, California & Florida for instance? I can't remember.

    What's it like where you live?

    Nice picture! This is the Kingdom of Mercia?  My regards to King Raedwald (whether or not he actually is in Sutton Hoo)!  Beautiful.

    It certainly was once Mercia Ken, with Tamworth (the capital of Mercia),  being 8 miles away. Lichfield (the ecclesiastical centre of Mercia), being 10 miles away.

     

    Your reference to Sutton Hoo reminded me of history classes back in my school days, which then reminded me of Tollund Man which is completely unrelated and in Denmark.

    Many thanks Nick.

     

    It's just a shame that one has to push so hard for information.

     

    I don't use Discord as I use this forum for announcements. However, It seems that Xbox release information isn't announced either as, when a product is released with note that the Xbox version is pending approval or as now available. TrueEarth GB series has been announced as coming soon for XP12 so pending release information is announced.

     

    I did check Discord however as it was mentioned in Anna's reply. I have to admit that I'm not familiar with it's format but I could see not see any information regarding the EGLC V2 upgrade for Xbox. I did spot another customer asking if EGLC V2 and UK south will be made available also for Xbox several days ago without any reply other than another customer also asking to the same question.

     

    I take from that whomever has the job of announcing release information on the forum, Discord, Facebook and X (Twitter) don't give a hoot about Xbox.

     

    Once again, thanks for your time. I'm not finger pointing at you at all Nick and by the way, my reference to Hippos was purely flippant 😉

    If anyone feels they bought the product and are disappointed not to find the giraffes, please message me directly and I will be happy to give them a refund. 💞🦒

     

     

    I demand Hippos because it's my human right, but really I would much more prefer an answer when I very occasionally ask a reasonable question.

     

    See linked thread. Nick kindly at least responded but was unable to answer. Somebody in Orbx would know...

    no - you are not being rude I think I have been back there 3 times since coming to Australia 52 years ago 

     

    Certainly 1980 when I took 2 of my sons on a world trip that included the UK and 2008 when the boss and I went to celebrate our 50th anniversary

    and you are right - it was not the Blackpool that I lived in and remembered as a kid and adult - everything was shabby

     

    I recently view d a video by Huddesson on u tube - and it looked even worse.

     

    Mind you it was full of drunks in my day at weekends - and I was one of them - on works and bowling outings in the 50s:blink:

     

    I found Huddison's YouTube channel and watched his Blackpool Vlog. Quite a departure from his normal topic of MSFS2020 videos.

     

    There is another YouTube channel that takes a critical look at mainly the west country, which is the other childhood holiday destination that I experienced many times in the 70s. The channel is called Turdtowns if you wish to take a look. Torbay, the English Riviera was my childhood favorite and a real jewel appears to have lost it's sparkle now.

    A day trip to BLACKPOOL - google it 

     

    Although I lived there for 4 years during the war (WW11) - we used to go for a day trip on the train - quite regular

    - to enjoy the fun of all the penny arcades - and the world-famous Pleasure Beach and Tower

     

    I would bet that most of the Brits on here - would know what I mean ;)

     

    Hope I'm not being rude by asking how many decades has it been since you experienced Blackpool? I remember being taken there for holidays when I was around 5 or 6 back in the early 70s and like you, I enjoyed it. I briefly seen it back in 2014 and wasn't at all impressed with how it looks now. I believe it has also become popular for Hen & Stag weekends so lots of drunk adults at weekends. To be fair, many of our coastal towns have suffered decades of decay so it's not on it's own.

    Is EU Great Britain South for MSFS still being made, or has MSFS 2024 announcement delayed it?

    I don't believe it's a good look for a question such as this to be officially just ignored. 

     

    If a customer is patient and polite when asking if a product that has been mentioned some time back is still planned, or in progress (not demanding any aspect or timeframe). They'll be content and understand If someone who can provide an answer takes the trouble to respond even if it is to advise that it's no longer viable or possible...

     

    This post got me thinking of what ever happened to Honolulu or was it the whole island of Oahu? Can't remember if I asked this question last year or the year before. The image of Diamond Head is even used for the default background for forthcoming products.

    P3D v6 patch 3 released

    You have to bear in mind that Patch 3 is basically a complete fresh install of P3D v6 and therefore you can delete the shaders after installation. I remind you that more than 100 GB of free space is needed on the media for the download and subsequently for the complete installation of P3D v6.

     

    I found and decided to run the "delete generated files" routine within the p3d folder. Worked fine with no problems but I have since installed an add-on aircraft. I'm guessing any add-on aircraft or scenery will not be found after using the "delete generated files" routine?

    I fired up the sim not being aware that another patch had been released. I was presented with the update option so continued. That means I didn't delete the cfg or shaders because I wasn't aware. I have post update deleted the cfg file but just wondered. Should I delete the shaders post update or is it too late?
