I'm just curious Nicolas; what is the reason for not allowing the UK World Update?

Not yet Ryan

I can live without traffic on bridges but I do feel Alcatraz needs some attention. The ground textures especially...

We had to uninstall London landmark pack for the World Update 3 update (UK). The landmark pack was updated a week or so after. When it was reinstalled, you need to select the version compatible with MSFS with World Update 3 update installed in Orbx Central. I would imagine it will be the same with World Update 4 and Paris landmarks. I have uninstalled Paris landmarks myself prior to updating MSFS today.

Looking forward to many of the forthcoming products like KBUR finally coming to XP11. It's a shame Van Nuys & Palm Beach aren't also. I'm certainly interested in TrueEarth Southern Spain. I think the Hawaiian Islands need some TrueEarth treatment especially Oahu. I was expecting the Gold Coast Landmark City Pack for MSFS as it's already being done for P3D.

You would have to buy again so you are better off just waiting. I'm sure the updated version will be on the Marketplace by the end of this week or next week. Probably the later tbh.

I assume this will occur again with Paris when the next world update is deployed which I believe contains France and Benelux countries.

You can remove any world update or anything else you have purchased through the MSFS 2020 marketplace using the FS2020 content manager. It is separate from the sim updates.

My thanks to Tony and the rest of the team for the Canary Islands. I'm really enjoying island hopping

The P3Dv4 & v5 version was released ages ago. https://orbxdirect.com/product/egnt

Thank you for not leaving XP11 out

@Orbx Please can you list what Orbx products are compatible? That includes also noting any that are not or that should be uninstalled. I'm thinking there of OpenLC North America, NA Southern California and Hollywood Burbank for example.

I remember, It was Monument Valley and Global Base which I believe was required as a prerequisite for Monument Valley.

I believe there are ways of asking a question that would lead one to expect a reply, but this I believe certainly isn't one of them.

The developer responds to your question here on this forum: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/212860-klax-hd-and-Orbx-socal/ However, I did try it without his mesh and I have attached a couple of screenshots of KLAX HD and Orbx SoCal.

Hi Laurie, Airport scenery tends to be a separate product. I believe this is the current default scenery: https://gateway.x-plane.com/scenery/page/KLAX "UFO restaurant and control tower missing on purpose (to be added as custom obj later). Depicted new terminal under construction. Added adjacent heliports on hospitals as discussed with Julian. Iconic buildings/display aircraft added under approach path 25L/R." I do have this scenery but I don't currently have it installed so I can't vouch for its compatibility: https://store.x-plane.org/KLAX--Los-Angeles-International-HD_p_836.html

Thanks Tony, I will do that once I have decided. I do now have a further question to regarding this. Noting what you have stated. Would it be possible to toggle any helipads that are made landable on or off for performance reasons in the Orbx Central Configure options for the SoCal product. That would make both helicopter and fixed-wing fliers happy as one could imagine from what you've stated some possible complaints of performance loss from none helicopter fliers.

I've attempted a couple of rooftop helipads at downtown LA and found them not to be solid and therefore not landable. I can't find any settings to enable or disable.

I can report that I am quite pleased with SoCal from the findings of my inaugural short flight in a Cessna from KBUR (Bob Hope) to KSMO (Santa Monica) in VR. Visuals were pretty good using 11.50b6 vulkan.

Many thanks for the reply Tony. I wouldn't expect say for example Florida to be updated because SoCal tech is tweaked but just thought in CA's case because the state has been developed in 2 halves (for obvious reasons), the complete state would be the same but if you say they work together, I just look forward to trying it out.

Is SoCal the same technology as NoCal or has it developed since NoCal was released and if so, will NoCal get an update?

Awesome! I was beginning to wonder why we hadn't heard anything about SoCal like some early beta teaser images.

What about Bristol Airport?

Looking forward to it. I spotted the Blackpool North Pier and wondered; can piers be modelled in the sea? I have already asked if the Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare could be modelled for a GB South update. Could we have some more Liverpool, Manchester and Blackpool teasers please?

Hi Uncle, I am not at all familiar with xOrganiser and when I tried it, this is what it showed me. I'm guessing I was assuming it would do some auto sorting rather than just highlight potential issues without making obvious what actions are needed to rectify the issues. Any constructive ideas would be gratefully received. Keith scenery_packs.ini
